Contact and press . A dialog appears with the display name, address, call

Including Multiple Sites in Calls
Your system might be configured to participate in multipoint calls. During a
multipoint call, multiple sites can see and hear each other. You can also share
content in a multipoint call, just as you can in a point-to-point call.
You can host multipoint calls using a video conferencing system with
multipoint capabilities, or you can use a bridge such as the Polycom
RMX 1000, Polycom RMX 2000, or Polycom MGC™.
Placing a Multipoint Call
How you place a multipoint call depends on whether you’re using a Polycom
HDX system with multipoint capabilities or a bridge such as the Polycom
RMX 1000, Polycom RMX 2000, or Polycom MGC. The number of sites
allowed in the call is determined by the capabilities of the system or bridge
hosting the call. The call can include any combination of IP H.323, SIP, ISDN,
V.35/Serial, and audio-only endpoints. For more information about call types,
refer to Types of Video Calls You Can Make on page 7.
• For calls hosted by a Polycom HDX system, you can define a group in the
directory to call all of the sites at one time. Alternatively, you can place a
call to the first site, and then add other sites after the first call connects. The
other sites can call the Polycom HDX system to join the call.
• For calls hosted by a bridge, you might need to enter calling information
about all of the sites before the call begins. Contact your system
administrator for more information.
