	Auto – Select this option to connect the participant’s
	endpoint according to his/her aggregation
	capabilities, as identified by the MCU during the
	connection process.
	H221 – The standard communication protocol, in
	which a different phone number is assigned to each
	channel. When connecting the participant to the
	conference (Dial-out), each of these phone numbers
	are dialed.
	Bonding - A communication protocol that aggregates
	from two up to thirty 64 Kbps B channels together, to
	look like one large bandwidth channel. If this option is
	enabled, set the Connection in the Identification tab
	to Dial-outand enter the phone number in the
	Bonding Phone Number field.
	Multi-Rate– A communication protocol in which
	channels are aggregated to form one dedicated line.
	The MGC Manager currently supports aggregation of
	6 channels to form one line rate of 384 Kbps (64 X
	6=384). In such a case, the network ensures that all
	six channels are synchronized.
