Usepathnavigator - Polycom ViewStation EX Api Manual

usepathnavigator

© Polycom, Inc.
Description
This command selects the PathNavigator™ mode, if PathNavigator is used
with the system. Because PathNavigator uses an MGC, it can handle video
conferences with more participants and higher speeds than an embedded
MCU. PathNavigator, which supports ad-hoc multipoint video conferencing,
is required to implement Conference on Demand™. Conference on Demand
allows users to bring multiple endpoints together in a video conference on an
unscheduled basis. It allows users to place multipoint video calls to remote
participants by only using their names and/or numbers that correspond to
those remote locations.
Note This option is only accessible if PathNavigator is used.
Note This command is not available on the ViewStation EX unless you
purchase the multipoint option.
Syntax
usepathnavigator <always|never|required|get>
Parameter Definition
always Always use PathNavigator to place a multipoint call.
Never use the external MCU.
never Never use PathNavigator to place a multipoint call. Use
the external MCU instead.
required This is the default. When this option is selected, if the
multipoint call is within the MCU capabilities, it is
handled by the MCU; otherwise, beyond the MCU
capabilities, it is handled through the
PathNavigator/MGC.
get Returns the current setting (always, never, or required).
