About Conferences

The MGC unit enables you to run different types of conferences, use different scheduling methods and provide different methods of connecting to the conference.

Conference Scheduling Methods

The MCU system supports both scheduled and on-demand conferences. Scheduled conferences are arranged ahead of time or just before the conference starts. On demand conferencing enables participants to immediately start and connect to an On Going Conference from their endpoint, with no advanced scheduling.

Scheduled Conferences

Scheduled conferences are arranged ahead of time or just before the conference starts. The scheduling can be done by means of the MGC Manager application, by using the browser based WebCommander application or by means of Microsoft Outlook using the MGC Personal Scheduler Add-On. These conferences are deleted from the MCU when they end.

On Demand Conferencing

The MGC environment offers two methods for on demand conferencing:

•Ad Hoc Conferencing

•Meeting Rooms
