For details on the participant definition on the RMX, see "Creating a Cascade Enabled Dial-out/Dial-in Participant Link” on page 5-15.

For a detailed description of the participant definition in the MGC, see the MGC Manager User’s Guide, Volume II, Chapter 1, Cascading Conferences.

To enable Content sharing between the RMX and the MGC, the rate allocated to the content must be identical in both conferences. Make sure that the line rate set for both conferences, and the Content Settings (Graphics, Hi-res Graphics or Live video) are selected correctly to ensure the compatible rate allocation. For more details on the RMX rate allocation to the Content channel, see "SIP BFCP Content Capabilities” on page 4-3.
