Mute participant 
except lecturer 
(continued)
• When you disconnect a lecturer from the conference or the 
lecturer leaves the conference, all participants remain muted but 
are able to view participants in regular video layout until the you 
disable the Mute Participants Except Lecturer option.
• A participant can override the Mute Participants Except Lecturer 
option by activating the Mute All Except Me option using the 
appropriate DTMF code, provided the participant has authorization 
for this operation in the IVR Services. The lecturer audio is muted 
and the participant audio is unmuted. You can reactivate the Mute 
Participants Except Lecturer option after a participant has 
previously activated the Mute All Except Me option. The 
participant is muted and the lecturer, if designated, is unmuted.
• In cascaded conferences, all participants (including the link 
participants) are muted. Only the lecturer is not muted.
Speaker Change 
Threshold
The Speaker Change Threshold is the amount of time a participant 
must speak continuously before becoming the speaker. When 
defining or editing a conference profile, you can define the Speaker 
Change Threshold.
Select the desired threshold:
• Auto (Default, 3 seconds)
• 1.5 seconds
• 3 seconds
• 5 seconds
Note: This option is only enabled with an MPMx card. The value is 
always Auto when using an MPM+ card.
Note: From Version 8.1, the MPM+ media card is not supported.
Auto mute noisy 
endpoints
This option is automatically enabled in new Profiles. When enabled, 
the RMX can detect AVC endpoints with a noisy audio channel and 
automatically mute them, reducing the noise heard by other 
conference participants. When the auto muted endpoint becomes the 
“speaker” the endpoint is automatically un-muted by the system. If the 
speaker halts his/her conversation and the line still emits noises, the 
endpoint will be automatically muted again. 
Clear this check box to disable the feature.
For more details, see "Automatic Suppression of Noisy Endpoints 
(AVC Endpoints)” on page 4-86.
