Including Multiple Sites in Calls

During a multipoint call, multiple sites can see and hear each other. You can also share content in a multipoint call, just as you can in a point-to-point call.

All systems can participate in multipoint calls. To host multipoint calls, your RealPresence Group 500 or 700 system must have an option key installed. You can host multipoint calls using a video conferencing system with multipoint capabilities, or you can use a bridge such as the Polycom RMX 1000 or Polycom RMX 2000.

You cannot host multipoint calls with a RealPresence Group 300 system.

Placing a Multipoint Call

How you place a multipoint call depends on whether you’re using a RealPresence Group system with multipoint capabilities or a bridge such as a Polycom RMX conference platform. The number of sites allowed in the call is determined by the capabilities of the system hosting the call.

To place a multipoint call by adding sites to a call:

1Call the first site.

2 After the call connects, press	on the remote control to open the
dialing keypad.

3Place a call to the next site. For more information, refer to Placing a Call on page 6.

4Repeat the above steps until all sites are connected.

After you have placed the first call, the Add a Call menu is displayed instead of the Place a Call menu.

To place a multipoint call using Recent Calls:

1Using your remote control, select > Place a Call or Add a Call and select Recent Calls.

2Highlight an entry in the Recent Calls list.
