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 This setting 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.
• Continuous Presence. Displays several panels on
the monitor, each showing a different participant,
and allows you to see all conference participants at
once. You can select a specific layout, with a certain
number of windows open.
• Automatic Layout is a continuous presence layout,
in which the number of participants determines the
number of panels.
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.
