Chapter 7 - Defining a New Video Conference

4.In the User Defined Fields boxes, enter the requested information (if required).

5.Change the Conference’s Duration if required.

6.In the Supported Network box, select the appropriate network types that will be used to connect participants to the conference. Select IP to allow only IP participants to the conference.

7.In the Video Session area, select Video Switching, Transcoding or Continuous Presence. For more information about these types of conferences, see “Video Conference Types” on page 4-3.

8.When selecting Continuous Presence, you can select Classic or Quad Views for the different layout options. If IP only is selected, the Software option is enabled in the Video Session - Continuous Presence box.

Continuous Presence - Classic offers 20 different video layouts, suitable for conferences of up to ten participants.

Continuous Presence - Quad Views offers 8 different video layouts, including layouts that are suitable for very large conferences.

Continuous Presence - Software allows Continuous Presence conferences to be set up with two types of Video Layout formats: 2x1 and 2x2.

9.To have participants access the conference through an Entry Queue, select the Entry Queue Access check box. If selected, the participant must dial the Entry Queue dial-in number and enter the correct conference Numeric ID in order to be transferred to this conference.

10.To allow undefined participants (who were not defined prior to the conference start) to connect directly to the conference without going through an Entry Queue, select the Meet Me Per Conference check box.

You can define the conference to be both Entry Queue Access and Meet Me Per Conference. In these conferences, a participant can connect to the conference directly, by means of the Meet Me Per Conference dial-in number, or through the Entry Queue, by means of the conference Numeric ID.

11.Optional. If an IVR service in which the conference password prompt enabled is assigned to the conference, enter the conference password (digits only) in the Conf. Entry Password box.
