Configuration Procedures
To configure Ad-hoc conferencing, you must perform the following steps:
1. Configure the IP network regions for the MGC.
2. Configure the MGC for use with an Avaya server.
3. Determine the maximum number of Ad-hoc video conferencing ports your voice system
supports.
4. Configure the Class of Service for Ad-hoc video conferencing.

6. Configure the MGC system.
Note:
Note: Keep in mind the following information when configuring the Polycom MGC:
- Place the Polycom MGC in a dedicated network region with a dedicated codec set
to infer the conference bit rates.
- Ensure that you specify the correct network region (Far-end Network Region field)
when you add the signaling groups for the MGC (Signaling Group form).
- Ensure that all other network regions have direct connectivity to the MGC’s network
region (change ip-network-region command).
