Placing A Multipoint Call - Polycom VSX Series 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.
The VSX 8000 internal MCU supports up to six video sites (including your
site) plus one audio-only site in a multipoint call. All other VSX systems
support up to three video sites (including your site) plus one audio-only
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.
