Define the dial-out participant (Cascaded Link). Set the dial-out alias to be the prefix of the MGC and the name of the slave conference running on the MGC.

Set the Cascading option as Master.

Define the dial-in participant (Cascaded Link) to the conference running on the RealPresence Collaboration Server.

The alias that will be used to identify the dial-in participant can be the name of the calling slave conference.

For details on the participant definition on the RealPresence Collaboration Server, see Creating a Cascade Enabled Dial-out/Dial-in Participant Link.

For a detailed description of the participant definition in the MGC, see the MGC Manager User’s Guide, Volume II, Chapter 1, Cascading Conferences.

To enable Content sharing between the RealPresence Collaboration Server and the MGC, the rate allocated to the content must be identical in both conferences. Make sure that the line rate set for both conferences, and the Content Settings (Graphics, Hi-res Graphics or Live video) are selected correctly to ensure the compatible rate allocation. For more details on the RealPresence Collaboration Server rate allocation to the Content channel, see SIP BFCP Content Capabilities.
