PARTICIPATING IN CALLS WITH MULTIPLE SITES

Supplying a Password for External MCU Calls

External MCUs sometimes require you to enter a password in order to join a conference. For this type of call, you can configure the system to enter the meeting password for you.

To configure a meeting password:

1.Select System from the Place a Call screen.

2.Select User Settings from the System screen.

3.Enter the password in the Meeting Password field in one of these ways:

ƒPressing the remote control number buttons, using the text-entry method commonly used with cell phones.

ƒPressing Keyboard to use the on-screen keyboard to enter characters.

4.Press Home to save your change and return to the Place a Call screen.

Using Chair Control for Multipoint Calls

During some multipoint calls, you can use chair control to manage the people video. In this type of call, the chair controller can choose the site whose video is sent to other sites in the conference. The chair controller can also disconnect a site or end the conference. Any participant can choose to view a specific site or request to be chair controller.

Only one site at a time can be the chair controller. Before a site can become the controller, the site with control must give up control.

Chair control is available in a call only if it is allowed by the external MCU.

To use the chair control options when you are in a multipoint call:

1.On a PC, open a web browser.

2.In the browser address line, enter the system’s IP address, for example, http://255.255.255.255, to go to the V500 web interface.

3.Click Place a Call.

4.Click Chair Control to go to the Chair Control screen.

The Chair Control option is only available when the system is in multipoint call.
