Calling more than one (optional)Provided that your video endpoint is equipped with the optional built-in
MultiSite feature, any point-to–point video call (a call involving two parties
only) may be expanded into including additional participants. The call will
then become a video conference.
Any ongoing video call can then be expanded into a video conference by
adding more participants at all times (see the upper right example).
Alternatively, you may set up a list of whom to call before you actually call
them and then call them all in one go (see the below example).
Note that your video network may have an infrastructure permitting video
conferencing—even if your video system itself does not. This will require
the presence of an external Multipoint Control Unit (MCU).
The most advanced video systems (those using Codec C60 or C90 )
can—when equipped with MultiSite— set up video meetings with
four participants (yourself included). External MCUs may let you set up
conferences with many more participants.
Systems equipped with Codec C20 have no MultiSite feature (see page
28 to find out which type of codec your system has). However, they come
with MultiWay™ installed (see the next page for more on this).
Contact your system administrator for details on how to use external MCUs.
Setting up a list of whom to call before calling them
Calling participants one by one
Terminating a video conference
This example shows two entries made
before any calls are placed. For units
equipped with MultiSite cap abilities,
up to three participants can be c alled
simultaneously, if no external MCUs are
used.
After you have entered the participant s,
press the key to place the calls. Any
of these may, of course, be fetched from
the phone book in the usual manner.
During a call, open the Call menu
again…
Then call someone in the usual
manner—by dialing the “number”
(in this case “542”) or by means
of the phone book…
Finally, navigate down to Call
and place the call…
If you want to add another
participant (you can call a
maximum of three participants),
repeat the process.
The
participant
you already
are in call
with.
The next
participant
you are
going to
call.
Use
this to
place the
call.
The host of a video conference is the
endpoint to which all the others are
connected—the one who i nitiated
the conference.
The host has the right to terminate
the connection to any of the
participants. The par ticipants cannot
control any of the others, but may
disconnect themselves from the
meeting at all times.
