Your system might be configured to participate in multipoint calls. During a
multipoint call, multiple sites can see and hear each other. You can also share
content in a multipoint call, just as you can in a point-to-point call.
You can host multipoint calls using a video conferencing system with
multipoint capabilities, or you can use a bridge such as the Polycom
RMX 1000, Polycom RMX 2000, or Polycom MGC™.
How you place a multipoint call depends on whether you're using a Polycom
HDX system with multipoint capabilities or a bridge such as the Polycom
RMX 1000, Polycom RMX 2000, or Polycom MGC. The number of sites
allowed in the call is determined by the capabilities of the system or bridge
hosting the call. The call can include any combination of IP H.323, SIP, ISDN,
V.35/Serial, and audio-only endpoints, although some ISDN systems might
not be configured to allow mixed IP and ISDN calls. For more information
about call types, refer to
To place a multipoint call by adding sites to a call:
