Chapter 1 – System Overview
1-4
• Allows users to conduct high quality video calls over packet loss-prone
IP networks (DSL, cable, satellite, high contention LANs/WANs, etc.)
without suffering the effects of packet loss.
• Protects video calls from short-term network issues by temporarily
adjusting the bit rate of the call in progress.
• Reduces the jitter buffer and associated delay.
• Allows an organization to use all available bandwidth for its video calls.
• Protects all elements of the videoconference call; voice, video and
content.
IVR-Enabled Conferencing
The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) function lets participants perform
various operations during ongoing conferences according to voice prompts.
The participants use their endpoints’ keypads and remote control to interact
with the conference’s menu-driven scripts using Far-End Camera Control
(FECC) and DTMF codes.
Recording Link
The RMX 1000 system supports recording links similar to other Polycom
MCUs. This recording link can work with the Polycom RSS 2000 to record
the content of an RMX 1000 conference.
Conferencing Capabilities and Options
On Demand Conferencing
The following options are available when setting up conferences:
• Instant Conference – Convene an instant one-time-only conference. The
conference is deleted from the MCU immediately after its completion.
• Meeting Room – Meeting rooms are stored in the MCU memory,
without occupying any MCU resources until used. They can be activated
anytime.
• Reserve a Conference – The reserved conference is stored on the CMA
(or RMX 1000, if using internal scheduling) and occupies resources only
during the specified timeframe. The system automatically initiates and
terminates the conference according to the reservation start and end
times. A user can reserve a conference by purchasing the CMA or
RMX1000 internal scheduling activation key.
Connection Methods
• Dial-out: automatically connect pre-defined participants (automatic line
rate detection)
• Dial-in:
― Inbound calling by pre-defined participants
― Inbound calling by undefined participants
