Configuration Guidelines
• IVR-enabled Video conferences and Entry Queue Access conferences
require the installation of the Audio+ card in the MCU.
• Video Continuous Presence conferences are routed to the Standard Video
card. The operator can change this selection manually when setting up
the conference, in the Conference Properties - Resource Force dialog
box. See “To modify the automatic card selection by the MCU:” on
page 4-83.
• Video Continuous Presence conferences set to Quad Views and COP
conferences with or without any visual effects, and Continuous Presence
conferences with visual effects, are all routed to the Video+ card.
• Video conferences that run on MCUs that include both the Standard
Audio and the Audio+ cards, use the Standard Audio card by default
unless an IVR service is assigned to the conference. In that case, the
conference is run on the Audio+ card.
• Running Video Switching conferences on the Standard Audio card limits
the maximum number of participants in a conference to 16 (12 video and
4 audio-only). The operator can increase the number of participants up to
30, by setting the Audio Bridge component of the standard Audio card to
1/30 in the “system.cfg”. For more details, see the MGC Manager User’s
Guide, Volume II, Chapter 1, “Advanced Conference Settings”.
• Audio Only conferences are automatically routed to the Audio+ card, to
enable the IVR functionality.
• With the Audio+ card, up to 100 participants at 128 Kbps can connect to
one Video Switching conference, without special configuration.
• The Audio+ 12/24, 24/48 and 48/96 cards support T1-CAS participants.
• Video conferences that run on MCUs with a Video+ card, have
additional features such as Quad Views, Visual Effects, and activation of
the Click&View application on the participant endpoint’s screen.
• Operator conferences can run on both Standard Audio and Audio+ cards
depending on the type of conference that is managed by the operator.
IVR-enabled conferences use the Audio+ card while AV (Welcome/
Attended) conferences use the Standard Audio card. The Operator
conference should be set according to the installed card capabilities.
• Encrypted conferences require MUX+ cards.
