Starting a Conference
Chapter 19-RMX Manager Application
There are several ways to start a conference:
• Clicking the New Conference button in the Conferences pane. For more information, see
“Starting a Conference from the Conferences Pane” on page 15.
• Dialing in to a Meeting Room defined on any of the MCUs.
— A Meeting Room is a conference that is saved on the MCU. It remains in passive
mode until it is activated by the first participant, or the meeting organizer, dialing
in.
For more information about Meeting Rooms, see "Meeting Rooms” on page 5-1.
• Dialing in to an Ad Hoc Entry Queue defined on one of the MCUs which is used as the
access point to the MCU.

immediately.

at the specified time on the specified date.
For more information, see “Starting a Reservation” on page 16.
