Defining Cascading Conferences

bUsing only the Alias string (requires a gatekeeper) - see Method B.

Method A

In this method no gatekeeper is used.

In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the Signaling Host of the MCU hosting the destination conference (in the example, MCU B).

In the Alias Name/Type field, enter the ID of the cascade-enabled Entry Queue (EQ), the Conference ID and Password of the destination conference (MCU B) as follows:

<EQ ID>#<Destination Conference ID>#<Password> (Password is optional).

For Example: 78485#24006#1234

Cascade-	enabled	Destination		Password (optional)
EQ ID			Confer

Method B

In this method a gatekeeper is used:

In the Alias Name field, enter the Prefix of MCU B, EQ ID, Destination Conference ID, and Password, as follows:

<MCU Prefix EQ ID>#<Conference ID>#<Password> (Password is optional)

For Example: 92578485#24006#1234

					Password (optional)
MCU Prefix as
registered in	Cascade		-enabled
the				Conference ID
gatekeeper		EQ ID

7Click the Advanced tab.

8In the Cascade field, select:

Slave, if the participant is defined in a conference running on a Slave MCU and will connect to the Master MCU (in the center of the topology).

Master, if the participant is defined in a conference running on the Master MCU (in the center of the topology) dialing from the Master MCU to the Slave MCU.
