Advanced Conference Scheduling
Polycom, Inc. 59
Dial Options You have three options:
• To create a conference for which the same dial-in
information and a PIN code are assigned to all
conference participants, use the Dial-In setting.
This setting allows participants to dial in from an
audio or video endpoint and connect to the same
conference on the MCU.
• To dial out to all participants in the conference, use
the Dial-Out setting.
• To allow participants both options, select
Dial-In+Dial-Out.
Note
When you change a conference from Dial-In to Dial
In+Dial Out, the selected resources remain set to
Dial-In. You must change them manually.
Always Use MCU Forces the conference to an MCU and prevents video
endpoints from connecting to each other directly. This
setting is automatically selected and cannot be
changed when Audio Only is the conference type or
when Enable Chairperson is selected.
Video Mode Determines the initial layout on a video endpoint's
monitor for a multipoint conference that requires an
MCU. The options are:
• Switching. Indicates that the display changes each
time the speaker changes, and everyone sees the
current speaker.
• Select a Frame Count, then select the specific
layout for the frames.
Available layouts are Continuous Presence
settings.
Bit Rate Specifies the maximum connection speed for
endpoints in the conference. Individual endpoints that
specify a lower connection speed connect at that
lower speed. Endpoints that specify a higher
connection speed connect at the speed identified in
the conference template.
If you select a higher speed than an endpoint can
support, the system reduces the speed that endpoint;
however, the conference uses the default connection
speed for endpoints that can match it. If you place the
calls through an endpoint with an embedded MCU,
the behavior depends on the capabilities of that
endpoint.
