Note
Due to the time it takes to configure a CPN Meeting, there will be a delay of
approximately15 seconds before a CPN Meeting can be entered when adding / editing
a Meeting, after disconnecting an Endpoint or when rebooting the Server.
Hints
• When the [Video Switch Mode] of a CPN meeting is set to [Audio], the person
speaking is displayed in the No.1 video window. When a user is selected with the
[Selected User] setting to be displayed in the No.1 video window, speakers other than
the selected user will be displayed in the No.2 video window. An orange frame
appears around the speaker. However, the speaker's position doesn't change when the
equally divided layout (CP2, CP4, CP12, CP16) is used and the number of
participants is less than the layout number displayed. In such cases, the speaker is
indicated only by the orange frame.
• For CPN Meetings, there is a terminal name display function that shows participants'
names in the video window.
In the event Member(s)' name is written only in alphanumeric characters, it is
displayed in [First Name], [Last Name] order. If the name is written in Japanese (2-
byte characters), it is displayed in [Last Name], [First Name] order. Middle names are
not displayed.
Description
Specify the VCMP Server to use for the meetings.
For more information on VCMP Servers, refer to "Chapter 9:
VCMP Servers" (p. 73).
Selects a User from the displayed list whose video is to be
permanently fixed as the No.1 video window in the CPN
Meeting.
However, when layout 16 is selected, the video screens are
always displayed in a 16-screen layout regardless of the number
of connected Endpoints.
For more information about multiple video screens, refer to
"Multiple Video Screen Layout" (p. 56).
