You can place multi-point calls manually by adding sites to the video
call. You can also create multi-point address book entries, which
contain several single address book entries combined together. With
a multi-point address book entry, you can call all of the parties
defined in the entry at once, rather than manually calling each
individual site.
Occasionally a multi-point password is required for a multi-point
video call that uses a third-party MCU. To use a password, you must
configure the ViewStation to send the password to the MCU.
To manually place a multi-point video call:
1. Place a video call using one of the four ways listed in “Placing a
Video Call” on page 99.
2. When the video call has connected, press the CALLHANG-UP
button on the remote control. The Call Hangup Choices screen

3. Select the Add a Video Call icon and press the SELECT button
on the remote control. The Video Phone screen is displayed.
4. On the Video Phone screen, enter the number of the next party
you want to call. Press the CALLHANG-UP button on the
remote control. The second video call is dialed.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until all of the parties are connected.
