Chapter 3 – Basic Operation
Starting a Conference
There are several ways to start a conference with the RMX 1000:
•Create an instant conference through the conference list pane of Web interface.
•Directly start a conference using a video endpoint’s remote control.
•Dial into a meeting room. A Meeting Room is a conference that is saved in the MCU, without occupying any resources. It remains in passive mode until it is activated by the first participant. For more information about Meeting Rooms, see Meeting Rooms.
•Reserve a conference (optional): The reserved conference is stored at the MCU and reserves system resources for the call’s specified time. The system automatically convenes the conference according to the reservation time. For more information about conference reservation, see Reservations.
•Start a conference in the Personal Conference Manager (PCM) interface.
For details, see Creating a Conference.
This part describes how to create a conference instantly through the Conferences pane and remote control. These two conference types can be established only when the required system resources are available. They will be deleted right after their completion to maximize system resources. A user can view the current available resources in the system through the Resource Report page of Web interface so as to better schedule conferences. For details, see Resources Report.
