Connection Type Select the connection type:
•Dial-in - Participants call the MCU at conference
time. You provide the participant with the MCU’s
dial-in number. When selecting this type, the
Meet Me Per options are enabled. This
connection type is applicable to ISDN, ATM and
MPI interfaces.
Note: Dial-in T1-CAS participants can only
connect as undefined participants.
•Dial-out - At the predefined conference start
time, the MCU calls the participant. When
defining the participant, you must enter the
participant’s number.
Note: If the Dial-Out Manually option is disabled
in the Conference Properties - Participant tab,
the MCU automatically calls the participant at
conference time. If this option is enabled, the
operator must connect the participant.
•Direct - For participants who are directly
connected to the MCU through a leased line.
This connection type is applicable to ISDN, MPI,
and T1-CAS interfaces. No dialing is required.
Interface Type Select the network type used by the participant to
connect to the conference:
•ISDN - for participants connecting via ISDN or
PSTN lines.
•ATM - for participants using the ATM network.
•MPI - for participants using a serial connection.
•T1-CAS - for participants using a Channel
Associated Signaling (CAS) connection. As T1-
CAS participants are Audio Only, the MCU must
be configured to allow them in video
conferences. For more details on the definition of
Audio Only T1-CAS participants, see the MGC
Manager User’s Guide, VoicePlus Edition,
Chapter 2, Defining Participant Properties”.
