T.120 Conferences

The MGC WebCommander enables you to define T.120 conferences. The T.120 is a standard that contains a series of protocols and specifications describing application sharing in multi-point data communication. The following options may be available, depending on the participant equipment and software:

•Application sharing, allowing two or more conference participants to work on the same document/application even if only one participant has the application. In application sharing, one participant launches the application and it runs simultaneously on all the other computers.

•File transfer to all conference participants.

•Chat or "Whiteboard" in which participants communicate with each other via writing.

In all of these modes, the participants can view and hear each other.

For more details regarding T.120 conferences, see the MGC Manager User’s Guide Volume I, Chapter 4.
