Using Chair Control for Multipoint Calls

During some multipoint calls, you can use chair control to manage the 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, request to be the broadcaster, 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.

The type of host for the multipoint call and the systems in the call determine whether chair control is available.

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

1In the browser address line, enter the HDX system’s IP address to access its web interface.

To use the HDX web interface, you must use Internet Explorer version 6.x, 7.x, or 8.x and configure your browser to allow cookies. Enter the IP address of the HDX system using the http://IPaddress (for example, http://10.11.12.13) or https://IPaddress format. If you operate within a secure environment with the Maximum Security Profile or Security Mode enabled, you must use the https://IPaddress format.

Using the HTTPS protocol ensures that the configuration of all login information (such as user names and passwords) are transmitted using an encrypted channel, including those user names and passwords used to communicate with third-party systems on your network. Using the HTTPS protocol severely limits the ability of anyone on the network to discover these credentials.

2Click Place a Call.

3Click Chair Control to go to the Chair Control screen.

The Chair Control option is only available when the system is in a multipoint call. It is not available in cascaded multipoint calls.
