MultiSite supports both Voice Switched and
Continuous Presence mode. The sites in a
conference must be connected using the same
bandwidth.
Establishing a conference is done by first making
a call to one site. When a call is established
with the first site, the other sites are
connected one by one. It is possible to either
dial out to the sites or the sites can dial in to
the MultiSite.

Placing a Multipoint Call
Using the Dial Out Method First establish a
normal point-to-point call. It is recommended to
plan the channel usage before making the first
call so that you do not run out of
bandwidth. Example If the system has 8 channels
available and you want to connect 3 sites in
addition to the host, 2 channels should be
selected for the first call. The system will then
automatically use 2 channels when connecting the
other sites. When the first site is connected,
add a site to the conference by following the
procedure 1. Press CONNECT to bring up the
following menu 2. Press the GREEN Quick Key
to bring up the MultiSite dial menu. 3.
Enter the number to call. The Quality will be the
same as used by the first call. 4. Press
CONNECT. Add Site Add Duo Video Back
Using the Dial In Method To dial in to the
MultiSite, you must know the numbers to each of
ISDN BRIs Site 1 must dial Lint Number 1. Site 2
must dial Line Number 2. Site 3 must dial Line
Number 3. OR If using an ISDN PRI, the far sites
dial the normal ISDN-PRI number of the system.
All sites must dial the same number. To find the
ISDN line numbers, press the Menu button and go
to Diagnostics and View Current Settings When
the MultiSite receives an incoming call, the
following menu is displayed Use the Quick Keys
to enter the appropriate response, OR Pressing
CONNECT will be equivalent to pressing
Accept Pressing DISCONNECT will be equivalent to
pressing Reject Pressing Do Not Disturb will
disable the MultiSite from answering more
incoming calls during the current conference. The
calling party will receive a busy signal.

the case until another participant starts to
speak. Continuous Presence shows several
participants on the same screen at the same
time. Request floor When requesting
the floor, the MCU will broadcast your video in
full screen to all other participants in the
conference. If the MCU conference has a chairman,
