Starting a New Call
To host the meeting on your own built-in MCU or other third party MCUs, you can either call out to
other endpoints to join your meeting, or you can give out your endpoint's address for them to call
in to your endpoint. The endpoint address you give out can be an IP (like 1.2.3.4), or an H.323
alias (like john_smith) or a URI address (like john@company.com). If you invite endpoints outside
your network, verify with your system administrator that your endpoint's address is valid for
external endpoints.
Your call is securely encrypted when it shows a padlock icon
administrator to configure encryption (see Deployment Guide for Avaya XT Series).
Important:
Using encryption is subject to local regulation. In some countries it is restricted or limited for
usage. For more information, consult your local reseller.
Procedure
1. To call a new endpoint, access the direct call screen. From the XT Series web interface,
select Make your Call > Basic Options > Direct Call. From the endpoint's main menu,
select Call, or press
Enter the dial string and select Call, or press ok/menu on the XT Remote Control Unit.
The dial string can be the endpoint's number, or an H.323 alias like john_smith, or a URI
address like john@company.com.
Important:
Your organization may also have implemented a dial plan, which defines various dial
prefixes to determine the characteristics of a call. For example, you may be able to dial
8 before the videoconference number for a lower bandwidth call, or 6 for an audio-only
call. For more information on the dial plan in your organization, contact your system
administrator.
