Polycom CMA System Operations Guide

If the port count is within 5% of the maximum ports available, it is displayed in red.

3To change a bridge assignment for a selected participant, click Auto and select a bridge from the pull-down menu.

Note

A CMA system can only show port counts for conferences scheduled via the system. Ad hoc conferences are not included in the port count.

4When you’ve completed all bridge assignments, click Next.

The Bridge To Bridge Links dialog box displays a graphical view of the selected bridges.

Note

If an MCU does not show up in the Bridge To Bridge Links dialog box, then the

MCU software does not support cascading.

5To add a hub bridge (a bridge used to connect one bridge to another), from the Available Bridges window, select a bridge and click Add Bridge.

6Specify bridge-to-bridge connections by selecting the bridges of interest and clicking Add Link.

The link is graphically represented by an arrow. The bridge at the base of the arrow dials to the bridge at the point of the arrow.

Note

A Polycom RMX system cannot dial a Polycom MGC, so do not link from an RMX system to an MGC system.

7In the Add Link dialog box, select the Link Type.

Notes

You can add links from a Polycom MGC system to a Polycom RMX system.

There is no support for ISDN cascaded links on RMX MCUs.

The lag time required to update cascaded links may cause more than one participant to hear the prompt about being the first person to join the conference.
