Configuring Directory Settings

4 - 38
To place a cascaded call:
1. Create and call a multiple-site entry from the Directory, or place calls one
at a time to up to three other sites. VSX 8000 systems can place calls to as
many as five other sites.
2. Ask each far site to call up to two additional sites. VSX 8000 far-site
systems can call an additional four sites. Along with these additional
sites, each far site in the original multipoint call can add one audio-only
connection.
Points to note about cascaded calls:
• You cannot place cascaded multipoint calls through PathNavigator.
• Polycom StereoSurround, Pro-Motion, AES encryption, continuous presence,
chair control, People+Content, and H.239 are not supported in cascaded calls.
• H.264 is only supported when all of the MCUs are VSX 8000 systems and each
VSX 8000 calls no more than three other systems.
You can customize the behavior of the Directory on the Directory screen.
To configure system settings:
1. Go to System > Admin Settings > General Settings > System Settings >
Directory.
2. Configure these settings:
Setting Description
System Name Enter or change the system name in this field. This name
appears on the screen for the far site when you are making
calls.
Localized System Displays the localized system name, if you have entered
Name one. You can enter a Localized System Name for
Simplified Chinese on this screen using the Chinese Virtual
Keyboard. You must use the VSX Web interface to enter
localized system names for other languages.
The localized system name is sent to the far site and
displayed as the caller ID by VSX systems using version 8.0
or later, when the user interface is set to that language.
However, the English/Pinyin name is the name used by the
Global Directory Server and the gatekeeper, and it is also
the name that shows up in the Recent Calls list.
