Creating the Cascaded Conferences

The table below lists the line rates that should be used when defining the conference Profiles for cascaded conferences on the RMX 2000 on both Level 1 and Level 2. The video settings will be automatically selected by the system, however, if HD Video Switching is used, it must be selected in

the conference Profiles.

Creating a Cascade Enabled Dial-out Participant Link

The connection between two cascaded conferences is established by a cascade enabled dial-out participant, acting as a cascades link.

The dialing direction determines whether the dial-out participant is defined in the conference running on the Master MCU or the Slave MCU. For example, if the dialing direction is from level 1 to level 2, and the Master conference is on level 1, the dial-out participant is defined in the conference running on the MCU on level 1 (connecting to an Entry Queue defined as Slave running on the MCU on level 2.

If the cascade-enabled dial-out participant always connects to the same destination conference via the same cascade-enabled Entry Queue on the other (second) MCU, the participant properties can be saved in the Address Book of the MCU for future repeated use of the cascaded link.

To define the dial-out cascade participant link:

1In the Conferences pane, select the conference.

2In the Participants pane, click New Participant ().
