Dial-out Participants

Automatic Dial Out

Dial-out participants are defined with their dial-out number. Once they are added to the ongoing conference, the MCU automatically calls them at a rate of 1 dial-out per second, using the default H.323, SIP or ISDN/ PSTN Network Service defined for them.

Manual Dial Out

In the manual mode, the RMX user or meeting organizer instructs the conferencing system to call the participant. Dial-out participants must be defined (mainly their name and telephone number) and added to the conference. This mode can only be selected at the conference definition stage and cannot be changed once the conference is running.

Gathering Phase

The Gathering Phase of a conference is the time period during which participants are connecting to a conference. It is enabled for the conference in the Conference Profile - Gathering Settings dialog box.

During the Gathering Phase, a mix of live video from connected endpoints is combined with both static and variable textual information about the conference into a slide which is displayed on all connected endpoints. All connected participants are kept informed about the current conference status including names of connected participants, participant count, participant type (video/audio) etc.
