Multipoint Etiquette
Multipoint involves three or more sites linked simultaneously in a
videoconferencing call. To achieve this connection a multipoint bridge is
required. Each site will be assigned their own port number and will dial into
the bridge at the designated date and time. The two methods utilized in
multipoint bridging are Voice Activation and Continuous Presence.

1. Voice Activation

The multipoint bridge will register who the current speaker is and will
broadcast the speakers image to all the participating sites. (Note: It is
critical to the success of the call that the participating sites mute their
system if they are not the current speaker. The video system can easily
pick-up background noises and register the site as the current speaker.)

2. Continuous Presence

The multipoint bridge will configure the call so that four sites will be viewed
simultaneously. If the call has more than five sites, the bottom right square
will rotate current speakers.
