You can use your Polycom HDX system to participate in multipoint
conferences. Multipoint conferences include multiple video sites and can also
include analog phone, Voice Over ISDN, H.323 audio-only, or SIP audio-only
sites. The first analog phone or Voice Over ISDN connection does not count
toward the number of sites in a call. Additional analog phone or Voice Over
ISDN connections, as well as all H.323 audio-only and SIP audio-only
connections, do count toward the number of sites in a call. Multipoint calls
require a multipoint conferencing unit (MCU) or a hosting system. Depending
on the system's configuration, Polycom HDX systems can host multipoint
calls. Polycom HDX systems may also be able to use the Conference on
Demand feature for multipoint calling.
You must enter a multipoint option key to enable your HDX system to host
multipoint calls, but the option key does not have to be enabled to participate
in multipoint calls.
For more information about multipoint calls, refer to
Viewing Modes on page 3-12
