    Configuring the MCU Step one: Log in to the MCU All administration of the MCU is performed via the web interface. To log in to the web interface of the MCU: Use your browser to navigate to the IP address of the MCU (to discover the IP address, refer to the previous section).
  • Page 12: Step Three: Add Endpoints (Optional)

    Step three: Add endpoints (optional) One way to add participants to a conference that you create is to have the MCU automatically call them when the conference starts. To do this, you configure their endpoints on the MCU. When you set up a conference, you can choose the endpoints from the Pre-configured participants each endpoint’s details every time.
  • Page 13: Using The Mcu

    Using the MCU Creating conferences To create a conference: In the web interface of the MCU, go to conference Type a for the conference, for example SalesMeeting. Name Type an optional numeric identifier, for example telephone number that participants can use to join the conference when calling in to the MCU via a gatekeeper or SIP registrar.
