Including Multiple Sites in Calls

Placing a Multipoint Call

Polycom, Inc.
During a multipoint call, multiple sites can see and hear each other. You can
also share content in a multipoint call, just as you can in a point-to-point call.
All systems can participate in multipoint calls. To host multipoint calls, your
RealPresence Group 500 or 700 system must have an option key installed. You
can host multipoint calls using a video conferencing system with multipoint
capabilities, or you can use a bridge such as the Polycom RMX 1000 or
Polycom RMX 2000.
You cannot host multipoint calls with a RealPresence Group 300 system.
How you place a multipoint call depends on whether you're using a
RealPresence Group system with multipoint capabilities or a bridge such as a
Polycom RMX conference platform. The number of sites allowed in the call is
determined by the capabilities of the system hosting the call.
