Calling More Than One (Optional) - Cisco TelePresence System Codec C-Series User Manual

Cisco TelePresence System Profile-series, C-series codecs, Quick Set C20
Contents Getting started

Calling more than one (optional)

Provided that your video endpoint is equipped with the optional built-in Multisite
feature, any point-to-point video call (a call involving two parties only) may be
expanded to include additional participants. The call will then become a video
conference.
Any ongoing video call can then be expanded to a video conference by adding more
participants at all times (see the right example).
Alternatively, you may set up a list of whom to call before you actually call them and
then call them all in one go (see the below example).
Note that your video network may have an infrastructure permitting video conferencing—
even if your video system itself does not. This will require the presence of an external
Multipoint Control Unit (MCU).
The most advanced video systems (those using Codec C60 or C90) can—when
equipped with Multisite—set up video meetings with four participants (yourself
included). External MCUs may let you set up conferences with many more
participants.
Systems equipped with Codec C20 have no Multisite feature (see
find out which type of codec your system has). However, all products described in this
user guide come with Multiway installed (see the next page for more on this).
™
Contact your system administrator for details on how to use external MCUs.
Setting up a list of whom to call before calling them
This example shows two entries made before any
calls are placed.
To do this start by entering the first person to call
(directly, via the recent calls list or from the phone
book), then select Add another participant and add
a second person. When all have been entered,
press Call on the remote control or select the Call
icon in the menu.
For units equipped with MultiSite capabilities, up to
three participants can be called simultaneously, if
no external MCUs are used.
After you have entered the participants, press
the key to place the calls. Any of these may,
of course, be fetched from the phone book in the
usual manner.

In-call features
Calling participants one by one
During a call, open the Call menu again...
Then call someone in the usual manner—
by keying in the name, number or address
(in this case "542") or by means of the
phone book. Invoke the virtual keyboard
(see "Entering text in text fields" on
page 7), if convenient.
Finally, navigate down to Call and
place the call...
If you want to add another participant,
repeat the process. The maximum
number of participants possible
depends on your system's configuration.
Terminating a video conference
The host of a video conference is the
one who initiated the conference. This
is the endpoint to which all the others
are connected.
The host has the right to terminate the
connection to any of the participants.
The participants cannot control any
of the others, but may disconnect
themselves from the meeting at all
times.
