Enabling Cascaded Conferences without Password
Chapter 4-Cascading Conferences
If a password is assigned to the linked conference, cascaded links will be prompted for a
password when connecting to it (Conference A). Administrators have the option of altering
the MCU settings to enable cascaded links to connect without a password.
To enable cascaded links to connect without a password:
1 In the RMX web client connected to MCU A (where the linked conference is running),
click Setup>System Configuration.
The System Flags dialog box opens.
2 Set the ENABLE_CASCADED_LINK_TO_JOIN_WITHOUT_PASSWORD flag to YES.
3 Click OK.
For more information, see "Modifying System Flags” on page 21-1.
>> Reset the MCU for flag changes to take effect.
Monitoring Star Cascaded Conferences
To monitor both conferences at the same time, two instances of the RMX Web Clients must
be opened (one for each MCU) by entering the IP Address of each MCU. If both conferences
are running on the same MCU, only one RMX Web Client window is required.
When conferences are cascaded, the Participant list pane of each of the two conferences will
display a linked icon ( ); a dial-in linked icon in the destination conference (Conference B)
and a dial-out linked icon in the linked conference (Conference A).
The Conferences list panes in each of the two conferences will display a cascaded conference
icon ( ) indicating that a conference running on the MCU is presently cascading with
another conference running on the same or another MCU. The cascaded conference icon will
be displayed for a short period of time and then disappear.
