Configuration Guidelines
•IVR-enabled Video conferences and Entry Queue Access conferences
require the installation of the Audio+ card in the MCU.
•Video Continuous Presence conferences are routed to the Standard Video
card. The operator can change this selection manually when setting up
the conference, in the Conference Properties - Resource Force dialog
box. See “To modify the automatic card selection by the MCU:” on
page 4-83.
•Video Continuous Presence conferences set to Quad Views and COP
conferences with or without any visual effects, and Continuous Presence
conferences with visual effects, are all routed to the Video+ card.
•Video conferences that run on MCUs that include both the Standard
Audio and the Audio+ cards, use the Standard Audio card by default
unless an IVR service is assigned to the conference. In that case, the
conference is run on the Audio+ card.
•Running Video Switching conferences on the Standard Audio card limits
the maximum number of participants in a conference to 16 (12 video and
4 audio-only). The operator can increase the number of participants up to
30, by setting the Audio Bridge component of the standard Audio card to
1/30 in the “system.cfg”. For more details, see the MGC Manager User’s
Guide, Volume II, Chapter 1, “Advanced Conference Settings”.
•Audio Only conferences are automatically routed to the Audio+ card, to
enable the IVR functionality.
•With the Audio+ card, up to 100 participants at 128 Kbps can connect to
one Video Switching conference, without special configuration.
•The Audio+ 12/24, 24/48 and 48/96 cards support T1-CAS participants.
•Video conferences that run on MCUs with a Video+ card, have
additional features such as Quad Views, Visual Effects, and activation of
the Click&View application on the participant endpoint’s screen.
•Operator conferences can run on both Standard Audio and Audio+ cards
depending on the type of conference that is managed by the operator.
IVR-enabled conferences use the Audio+ card while AV (Welcome/
Attended) conferences use the Standard Audio card. The Operator
conference should be set according to the installed card capabilities.
•Encrypted conferences require MUX+ cards.
