Select a Bridge for a Conference

By default, when scheduling a conference, the CMA system will automatically select a bridge for the conference. However, users with the Advanced Scheduler role can select a specific bridge for a conference.

To select a single bridge for a conference

1When you’re adding or editing a conference, after you’ve made all of your other conference configuration choices, from the Bridge Selection list select Single Bridge.

A bridge selection drop down list appears based on the template selection and conference settings.

2From the MCU list, select a specific MCU to host the conference.

3Continue on to “Create a Cascaded Conference Across Multiple Bridges” on page 67, as required, or return to adding or editing the conference, as described in “Conference Scheduling Operations” on page 49.

Create a Cascaded Conference Across Multiple Bridges

Users with the Advanced Scheduler role can create cascaded conferences.

To create a cascaded conference across multiple bridges

1When you’re adding or editing a conference, after you’ve made all of your other conference configuration choices, from the Bridge Selection select Multi Bridge.

Note

If the Multi Bridge option is not available, then the system is not configured to support this option.

The Schedule button changes to a Manual Cascade button and the

Recurrence button is grayed out.

2Click Manual Cascade.

The People To Bridges dialog box appears displaying the selected conference participants and their bridge assignments. Bridge assignments default to Auto. These system assignments are based on bridge capacity and/or least cost routing principles.

In the Selected Bridge Availability section, the system shows a count of the available ports on the available bridges for the specified time period.
