Placing A Multipoint Call - Polycom VSX3000 Getting Started Manual

Placing a Multipoint Call

© Polycom, Inc.
How you place a multipoint call depends on whether you're using the internal
MCU option or an external MCU. If your organization uses Polycom's
™
PathNavigator , you can also use PathNavigator's conference on demand
feature to place multipoint calls.
For calls using the internal MCU option, you can define a multiple-site
directory entry to call all of the sites at one time. Alternatively, you can
place a call to the first site and then add other sites after the first call
connects.
For calls using an external MCU, you may need to enter calling
information about all of the sites before the call begins. Contact your
system administrator for more information.
VSX 3000, VSX 3000A, VSX 7000, VSX 7000s, and VSX 7000e systems
with an internal MCU can host multipoint calls that include up to four
video sites, plus one audio site. The VSX 8000 provides multipoint
support for calls that include up to six video sites, plus one audio site.
For calls using PathNavigator's conference on demand feature, the system
administrator must:
Register the VSX system with PathNavigator.
Configure the VSX system to use PathNavigator for multipoint calls.
Create a multiple-site entry in the directory.
To place a multipoint call by adding sites to a call:
1. Call the first site.
2. When the call connects, press
3. Select Add Video Call, and place a call to the next site.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all sites are connected.
To place a multipoint call using a multiple-site directory entry:
1. Press Directory on the remote control.
2. Find the multiple-site entry in the directory list.
3. Press Call to place the call.
To place a cascaded multipoint call:

to up to three other video sites.
2. Ask each site to call up to two additional sites.
