ISDN Participants

Two dialing methods are available to ISDN/PSTN participants:

•Via Gateway IVR

•Direct with automatically generated destination dial strings from dial-in strings. This dialing method is available from Version 7.1 and is supported on RMX with MPM+ and MPMx cards.

In addition, PSTN participants can dial the Gateway IVR and can use the MCU or DMA prefix in the gatekeeper together with the conference ID/endpoint alias as the destination string to simplify the input. This is one of the methods for PSTN participants to connect to a virtual Meeting Room on the DMA.

Gateway IVR

In this flow, the calling endpoint enters the dialing string that includes the access number to the RMX Gateway Profile.

The endpoint connects to the RMX and is welcomed by the IVR Welcome slide and message: “Please enter the destination number” followed by the dial tone.

Using the endpoint’s DTMF input device such as remote control, the participant enters the number of the destination endpoint followed by the # key. Only one number can be dialed.

While the system dials to the destination endpoints, the participant hears the dialing rings. During the connection phase, the number being dialed is displayed on the screen of the calling endpoint.

If the call is not answered or it cannot be completed using one communication protocol, the system will try to connect the endpoint using the next communication protocol according to the selected protocols in the following order: H.323, SIP and ISDN.

PSTN numbers are identified separately and are dialed immediately without trying other connections.

If the endpoint is busy, the system will not try to connect the endpoint using another protocol.
