Connecting to a Conference Directly or via Entry Queue
The RMX is shipped with pre-configured default AVC-based conferencing entities that
can be used to dial in and start conferences. Default (Transit) Entry Queue ID: 1000,
default Meeting Room IDs: 1001, 1002, 1003, and 1004.
H.323 Participants
Dial:
[MCU Prefix in Gatekeeper][Conference or Entry Queue ID/Name]
For example, if the MCU prefix in the gatekeeper is 925, enter 925 or 9251000 to connect
to the EQ or 9251001/2/3/4 to connect directly to the conference. When connected to
the EQ, enter the destination Meeting Room ID (i.e. 1001, 1002, 1003 or 1004).
Alternatively, use the EQ or conference name. For example, if the conference name is
Maple_Room, the participant can dial: 925Maple_Room.
SIP Participants
Dial:
conference_routing _name@domain_name.
Conference routing name must be
registered with the SIP server. For example, enter [email protected] if conference
routing name is 1001 and the domain name is polycom.com.
ISDN and PSTN Participants
Dial one of the numbers assigned to the conference, Meeting Room or Entry Queue with
the required country and area code. When connected to an EQ you are routed to the
conference according to the destination conference ID you enter.
For example, if the assigned dial in number is 4045555, they dial this number with the
appropriate area code (for example, 678) and country code (001).
