Enabling Cascading

Cascading two conferences requires that the following procedures are implemented:

•Creating the cascade-enabled Entry Queue

A cascade-enabled Entry Queue must be created in the MCU hosting the destination conference (Conference B). The cascade-enabled Entry Queue is used to establish the dial-in link between the destination conference and the linked conference and bypassing standard Entry Queue, IVR prompt and video slide display.

•Creating a cascade-enabled Dial-out link

The creation of a cascade-enabled dial-out link (participant) in the linked conference (Conference A). This dial-out participant functions as the link between the two conferences.

•(Optional) Enabling the cascaded linked participant to connect to the linked conference (Conference A) without entering the conference password. This can be done by modifying the default settings of the relevant system flag.

Creating the Cascade-enabled Entry Queue

The cascade-enabled Entry Queue maintains the correct behavior of the cascaded link when it dials into it.

The cascade-enabled Entry Queue should be used only to connect cascaded links and should not be used to connect standard participants to conferences.

When cascading High Definition (HD) conferences, the cascade-enabled Entry Queue must have the same settings as both cascaded conferences and the participants in both conferences must use the same line rate and HD capabilities as set for the conferences and Entry Queue.

To define a Cascade-Enabled Entry Queue:

1In the RMX Management pane, click the Entry Queues button. The Entry Queues list pane is displayed.

2Click the New Entry Queue button. The New Entry Queue dialog box is displayed.
