Avaya Equinox Meetings Online Integration - Avaya XT Series User Manual

Avaya XT overview
You can add a license to most Avaya XT Series models to activate the built-in Media Server to
host videoconferences locally (see Deployment Guide for Avaya XT Series):
• Media Server4 can host videoconferences with up to four participants (one local, three
remote), with additional calls (up to eight) being placed in audio-only mode.
• Media Server9 can host videoconferences with up to nine participants (one local, eight
remote).
Important:
The Avaya XTE240 and Avaya XT4300 can host up to four video participants.
The embedded Media Server can mix standard definition and HD endpoints in the same meeting,
without one impacting on the other. The built-in Media Server also supports both wide-screen
(16:9) and standard formats (4:3), incorporating them seamlessly into the video layout. In order to
conserve bandwidth, you can limit the number of participants that the embedded MCU can host.
While generating the video layout, the built-in Media Server must shrink each participant's image
to fit the layout. So while the composite video layout remains in HD, each participant's image
within the layout can reach a maximum resolution of 448p.
When using the Avaya XT Series as an Media Server only, not participating locally, we
recommend blocking the audio and video input from this Avaya XT Series during the meeting. You
can do this by enabling privacy settings. You can block the audio and video input completely or
you can ensure that only users with a PIN can access the audio and video.
For the best experience when using the XT Series MCU Edition, we recommend activating the
license known as Maximum bandwidth extension (12Mbps total for all participants) to avoid
sending video at the default lower 6Mbps total for all participants (see Deployment Guide for
Avaya XT Series).
You can disable the embedded Media Server at any time.
