QSX Usage with Polycom MGC
The QSX system can be connected to an MGC bridge to increase the scalability of
content sharing beyond 5 QSX units. It does so by leveraging the capabilities of the
MGC.
To use a QSX with an MGC bridge, follow these steps:
1.
Ensure the MGC is properly connected and configured. For more information
about Polycom’s MGC systems, refer to the Administrator’s Guide for the
respective product.
2.
Connect the power and LAN connections of the QSX as described in Chapter 3 of
this guide.
3.
Enable MGC Dial Out by going to the Web Admin Page,
Admin Settings
>Video/IP Network > H.323 Settings
>
Enable MGC Dial Out Conference
Calls.
4.
For MGC configuration, consult the Administrator’s Guide for that product.
This capability enables the QSX to answer a call from an MGC in one of two scenarios.
MGC Dial-Out.
There are two ways that the MGC can connect to the QSX. First, it can
dial out to the QSX directly by dialing its IP address. Second, if both the MGC and QSX
are registered to a gatekeeper, the MGC can dial the E164 extension of the QSX. In
either situation, once the MGC has made the connection, the QSX can send and receive
content. The link to the QSX has to be disconnected by the MGC. There is no way to
disconnect from the QSX side.
Dial-in with a SoundStation VTX 1000.
A user can utilize a SoundStation VTX 1000
phone attached to the QSX can dial into the MGC using the Manual IP Dialing method
described on Page
