Including Multiple Sites in 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.
All systems can participate in multipoint calls. To host multipoint calls, your
RealPresence Group 500 or 700 system must have an option key installed. 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 or
Polycom RMX 2000.
Placing a Multipoint Call
How you place a multipoint call depends on whether you’re using a
RealPresence Group system with multipoint capabilities or a bridge such as a
Polycom RMX conference platform. The number of sites allowed in the call is
determined by the capabilities of the system hosting the call.
To place a multipoint call by adding sites to a call:
1 Call the first site.
2 After the call connects, press on the remote control to open the
dialing keypad.
3 Place a call to the next site. For more information, refer to Placing a Call
on page 6.
4 Repeat the above steps until all sites are connected.
To place a multipoint call using Recent Calls:
1 Using your remote control, select > Place a Call or Add a Call and
select Recent Calls.
2 Highlight an entry in the Recent Calls list.
You cannot host multipoint calls with a RealPresence Group 300 system.
After you have placed the first call, the Add a Call menu is displayed instead of
the Place a Call menu.
