Resulting MCU Handling of Meeting
Password
The general rule is that all the sites which dial
into the ViewStation FX or VS4000 MCU
need to provide a Meeting Password to that
MCU.
However there are two exceptions:
Exception 1— If the first site has been in a
call with the ViewStation FX or VS4000 MCU
for over 30 seconds and the second site calls
into the MCU:
>> The first site will not be prompted for a
password. The second site will be prompted
for the MCU password if the Meeting
Password has been set on the MCU.
If the second site dials in within 30 seconds of
the original connection between the MCU
and the first site, both sites will be prompted
for the MCU password if the Meeting
Password on MCU has been set.
Before the password is validated, the MCU
sees video of the far site and the far site itself
is in a loopback mode. If the password
provided is valid, the far site should be able to
join the conference. If the password is invalid,
cancelled, or times out, the far site will be
hung up. Far sites are given one chance to
enter the correct password.
Exception 2— When sites that are not able
to send passwords dial into a ViewStation FX
or VS4000 MCU call which has a meeting
password set:
>> A message appears on the MCU ("You
have a video call that is not providing a
password. Would you like to answer?" ). This
message might be followed by a far-site video
number and a far site name if they are
available. The thirty-second rule explained
under Exception 1 applies here too.
