The MultiPoint Control Unit uses the ITU-T H.320 video conferencing standard to
connect the video endpoints, assuring compatibility with other video endpoints
that conform to the standard. In addition to compatibility, the H.320 standard
ensures a common level of visual, graphics, and audio quality that will satisfy
your visual communication requirements.
The unit is built on the architecture of the DEFINITY ECS. The MultiPoint Control
Unit sits in its own carrier and takes up approximately the same space as a
DEFINITY ECS single carrier cabinet. Designed for growth, the MultiPoint Control
Unit’s architecture allows you to add additional circuit packs and carriers as
needed.
Arranging Conferences
With the MultiPoint Control Unit, multipoint video conferences are easy to setup,
operate, and manage. You can use the reservation software provided with the
MultiPoint Control Unit, available through the Management Terminal or through
the optional Conference Reservation System.
You can assign a number to each conference participant and setup the Multi-
Point Control Unit to link the video endpoints at the designated time. Calls can
also be initiated through the Meet-Me function, allowing participants to dial into
their call using a preassigned telephone number. The MultiPoint Control Unit can
also be programmed to out-dial to the video endpoints at a designated time.
The MultiPoint Control Unit also supports dedicated multipoint conferencing.
Your video conference users that require regular and frequent access to multi-
point video conferences can obtain system access as required.
