Configure Ad-hoc Video Conferencing for a Polycom MGC Video Conferencing Bridge Platform

6.Set ID Range to the range of ports. These IDs correspond to the actual conference ID numbers of meeting rooms configured on the MGC. For example, if you enter the range 1000 - 1003, you must configure 1000, 1001, 1002, and 1003 as meeting rooms on the MGC. These meeting rooms are for Ad-hoc use only and must not be accessible via the Unified Dial Plan (UDP). Note that Automatic Alternate Routing (AAR) and Unified Dial Plan are not used to connect to these meeting room numbers. Conference IDs (and factory numbers) are completely independent of the dial plan. As a result, you can set up several video bridges with exactly the same conference IDs and numbers. (This will make it easier for you to maintain configurations and swap hardware.)

Procedure 6: Configure the MGC System

On the MGC system, perform the following steps for Ad-hoc conferencing:

1.Create meeting room IDs that correspond to the ID range on Avaya Communication Manager Video Bridge form, with each being video switching auto conferences. Determine the ID length from the MGC system.cfg file.

2.Set 1*1 transcoding so cascaded conferences display properly.

Display Capacity for Ad-hoc Video Conferencing

To display the capacity for Ad-hoc video conferencing:

1.Use the display capacity command to access the System Capacity form.

2.Go to page 7. Ad-hoc Video Conferencing Ports displays the following Ad-hoc video conferencing information:

-Used - the number of video conferencing ports currently in use.

-Available - the number of video conferencing ports currently available.

-System Limit - the total number of video conference ports in your system. (This is the sum of Used ports and Available ports.)
