Scheduling Operations” on page 49.
Note
A CMA system can only show port counts for conferences scheduled via the
system. Ad hoc conferences are not included in the port count.
Note
If an MCU does not show up in the Bridge To Bridge Links dialog box, then the
MCU software does not support cascading.
Note
A Polycom RMX system cannot dial a Polycom MGC, so do not link from an RMX
system to an MGC system.
Notes
• You can add links from a Polycom MGC system to a Polycom RMX system.
• There is no support for ISDN cascaded links on RMX MCUs.
• The lag time required to update cascaded links may cause more than one
participant to hear the prompt about being the first person to join the conference.
