Selected Devices and then :
• Call Type (protocol)

additional participants, set Reserved ports to 16 to activate this feature.

Clicking the link opens the Device details page for that device to enable you to change
configuration settings for that device. Read more at Device Details. Avaya Video Conferencing
Manager automatically updates the call to reflect or adjust to any changes that you make to device
settings that affect the call you are scheduling or editing (for example, changes to the protocols
used in the call or the system names). Changes to MCU affinity from the Device details page do
not affect the call.
5. Click Recurrence to set up a regularly occurring conference.
NOTE In an installation that uses ADAM for user authentication, you cannot
schedule calls to recur beyond six months.
6. Click Call Now to begin the call immediately or Schedule Call to begin the call at the specified time. If
the call is not configured properly, an error message prompts you to configure the call. Click Configure
for Avaya Video Conferencing Manager to choose a valid configuration for the call.
NOTE You may encounter a configuration error that requires your intervention. For
example, if one of the devices is set to a communication protocol that is
incompatible with the protocol settings for other devices in the call,
appears. Mouse over the icon to view descriptive text.
