Chapter 4-Cascading Conferences
Creating a Cascade Enabled Dial-out Participant Link
The connection between two cascaded conferences is established by a cascade enabled dialout
participant, acting as a cascades link.
The dialing direction determines whether the dial-out participant is defined in the
conference running on the Master MCU or the Slave MCU. For example, if the dialing
direction is from level 1 to level 2, and the Master conference is on level 1, the dial-out
participant is defined in the conference running on the MCU on level 1 (connecting to an
Entry Queue defined as Slave running on the MCU on level 2.
If the cascade-enabled dial-out participant always connects to the same destination
conference via the same cascade-enabled Entry Queue on the other (second) MCU, the
participant properties can be saved in the Address Book of the MCU for future repeated use
of the cascaded link.
To define the dial-out cascade participant link:
1 In the Conferences pane, select the conference.
2 In the Participants pane, click New Participant ( ).
The New Participant - General dialog box is displayed.
3 Define the following parameters:
