Monitoring Cascaded Conferences

To monitor both conferences at the same time, two instances of the RMX Web Clients must be opened (one for each MCU) by entering the IP Address of each MCU. If both conferences are running on the same MCU, only one RMX Web Client window is required.

When conferences are cascaded, the Participant list pane of each of the two

conferences will display a linked icon (); a dial-in linked icon in the destination conference (Conference B) and a dial-out linked icon in the linked conference (Conference A).

The Conferences list panes in each of the two conferences will display a

cascaded conference icon ( ) indicating that a conference running on the MCU is presently cascading with another conference running on the same or another MCU. The cascaded conference icon will be displayed for a short period of time and then disappear.
