Polycom 1500/1800/2000/4000 manual Enabling and Using Multiple Cascade Links

Setting Conferences for Telepresence Mode (AVC CP)

●If there are insufficient resources to connect all Multiple Cascade Links in either of the RMXs, none of the links are connected and resources deficiency -0 is listed as the Call Disconnection Cause. For more information see Monitoring Multiple Cascade Links.

●Multiple Cascade Links that are not used by MLA are inactive but continue to consume resources.

●All RMXs participating in the cascade must have the same Telepresence Mode definitions, either all defined as CP or all defined as Room Switch.

●When Multiple Cascade Links are defined in the Conference Profile, the Layout Type field of the Link Participant’s Participant Properties - Media Sources dialog box is set to Conference and cannot be modified.

●TIP Telepresence Rooms (CTS) are supported without Content. For more information see the .

Enabling and Using Multiple Cascade Links

The settings required to enable Multiple Cascade Links on the RMX are minimal and are described in Creating a Link Participant.

Most of the layout configuration is performed using Polycom’s Multipoint Layout Application (MLA).

The figures RMX Telepresence Layout Mode - Room Switch and RMX Telepresence Layout Mode - Continuous Presence show example layouts and media flows when MLA is configured for a cascading conference between two RMXs.

In the figure RMX Telepresence Layout Mode - Room Switch:

●The OTX Room System connects to RMX A.

●The RPX Room System connects to RMX B.

●This layout requires the Telepresence Layout Mode to be set to Room Switch in the Conference Profiles of the Cascading Conferences in each RMX.

●The current speaker is a participant in the RPX ITP Room.
