Calling participants in to a conference
To call participants in to a conference:
1 In the web interface of the MCU, go to
Conferences and click on the name of an
active conference.
2On the
Participants tab, click Add participant to call out to an H.323 or SIP
endpoint.
3In the
Address field:
where there is no H.323 gatekeeper or SIP registrar, type the IP address,
host name, or SIP URI of an accessible endpoint on your network
if you are using an H.323 gatekeeper, enter the number registered with the
gatekeeper for the required endpoint
if you are using a SIP registrar, enter the number registered with the SIP
registrar for the required endpoint
4 Leave the other fields as their default values and click
Call endpoint. The MCU
automatically connects to the endpoint.
5 If the endpoint is not configured to automatically answer calls, accept the call on
the endpoint.
Calling in to a conference
Participants can call in to conferences in either one of two ways:
 if you have given the conference a numeric identifier and you are using an H.323
gatekeeper or SIP registrar, tell participants to dial the numeric identifier from
their endpoint to join that conference
 participants can dial the IP address of the MCU to access the auto attendant of
the MCU. Participants will see a menu of available conferences on their video
screen and will hear instructions
