Connecting To A Conference; Direct Dial-In To The Mcu - Polycom RealPresence Getting Started Manual

Connecting to a Conference

Direct Dial-in to the MCU

Direct dial-in connection to conferences and Meeting Rooms is available to all endpoints.
Participants must be provided with a dialing string which can vary according to the
network type, conference password and chairperson password.
Participants dial the conference dial-in string and are connected to the conference IVR
Service. Once the correct information, such as the conference password and chairperson
password are entered, the participants are connected to the conference.

In CP AVC or Mixed CP and SVC Conferencing Mode, the MCU can be configured to enable
the chairperson to use the chairperson password as the conference password without the
need to enter the conference password.
In a Mixed CP and SVC conference, AVC-based dial-in and dial-out participants (H.323 and
SIP) and SVC-based dial-in participants only can connect the conference.

SVC-capable endpoints support both AVC and SVC video protocols. When dialing into
SVC Only conferences, they connect as SVC endpoints. When dialing into AVC Only
conferences, they connect as AVC endpoints.
