Configuring with PathNavigator’s Conference on Demand Feature
If your organization uses Polycom’s PathNavigator, you can use
PathNavigator’s Conference on Demand feature to place multipoint calls with
up to 10 sites, including the site that places the call.
In order to place calls using PathNavigator, you need to:
• Register your Polycom HDX system with PathNavigator
• Configure your Polycom HDX system to use PathNavigator for
multipoint calls (see Configuring the System to Use a Gatekeeper on page
2-4)
• Create a multi-site entry in the directory that can be used to place the
multipoint call
Including Multiple Sites in a Cascaded Call
You can include multiple sites in a cascaded call if the sites you call have
internal multipoint capability. The following diagram shows how to do this.
Points to note about PathNavigator’s Conference on Demand:
• Once the call begins, users cannot add another site to the call — even if the site
was in the call originally and is attempting to rejoin. Because of this, you cannot
place cascaded multipoint calls through PathNavigator.
• The MGC needs to have enough ports available to complete the call. The
system displays a message if the MGC does not have enough ports (resources)
available to connect all the sites.
