Meeting Rooms

A Meeting Room is a conference saved on the MCU in passive mode, without using any of the system resources. A Meeting Room is automatically activated when the first participant dials into it. Meeting Rooms can be activated as many times as required. Once activated, a Meeting Room functions as any ongoing conference.

The conferencing Mode of the Meeting Room is determined by the Profile assigned to it. In SVC Conferencing Mode, dial-in is available as follows:

●AVC-capable endpoints (participants) can only connect to an AVC CP Meeting Room. When dialing into SVC Only Meeting Room the calls fail.

●SVC-capable endpoints support both AVC and SVC video protocols. When dialing into SVC Only conferences, they connect as SVC endpoints. When dialing into AVC CP Only conferences, they connect as AVC endpoints.

●Both AVC and SVC endpoints can connect to a mixed CP and SVC conference.

In AVC Conferencing Mode, ISDN/PSTN participants can dial-in directly to a Meeting Room without connection through an Entry Queue. Up to two numbers can be defined per conference provided that they are from the same ISDN/PSTN Network Service. When a dial-in number is allocated to a Meeting Room, the number cannot be deleted nor can the ISDN/PSTN Network Service be removed. The dial-in number must be communicated to the ISDN or PSTN dial-in participants.

In AVC CP Conferences, dial-out participants can be connected to the conference automatically, or manually. In the automatic mode the system calls all the participants one after the other. In the manual mode, the Collaboration Server user or meeting organizer instructs the conferencing system to call the participant. Dial-out participants must be defined (mainly their name and telephone number) and added to the conference. This mode can only be selected at the conference/Meeting Room definition stage and cannot be changed once the conference is ongoing.

A Meeting Room can be designated as a Permanent Conference. For more information see Audio Algorithm Support.

The maximum of number of Meeting Rooms that can be defined is:

●RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/1800/2000 — 1000

●RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000 — 2000

The system is shipped with four default Meeting Rooms:
