• Participants outside the office or using PSTN or mobile phones, can use the dial in
number in the meeting invitation to manually dial in to the meeting.
RMX Standalone Deployment
When using a single RMX in a standalone deployment, connection is via an Ad Hoc Entry
Queue. The meeting is started when the first participant connects to the RMX.
When the first participant connects, a conference is created and named according to the
information contained in the dial string. Subsequent participants connecting with the same
dial string are routed from the Ad Hoc Entry Queue to the conference.
After the conference has been created the Conference Name, Organizer, Time, Duration and
Password (if enabled) are retrieved from the conference parameters for display during the
Gathering Phase.
RMX and Polycom DMA System Deployment
In a DMA deployment a Virtual Meeting Room is activated when the first participant
connects to the DMA. DMA receives the dial string to activate a Virtual Meeting Room on the
RMX.
DMA uses the Meeting ID contained in the dial-in string to access meeting information
stored in the Exchange Server database.
When the meeting information is found on the Exchange Server, the Conference Name,
Organizer, Time, Duration and Password (if enabled) are retrieved from the Exchange Server
database for display during the Gathering Phase.
If enabled, automatically generated passwords are ignored.
For more information see "Automatic Password Generation Flags” on page 21-35.
