Polycom 2000 User Manual

Cascading two conferences requires that the following procedures are 

implemented:
•

Creating the cascade-enabled Entry Queue
A cascade-enabled Entry Queue must be created in the MCU hosting 

the destination conference (Conference B). The cascade-enabled Entry 

Queue is used to establish the dial-in link between the destination 

conference and the linked conference and bypassing standard Entry 

Queue, IVR prompt and video slide display.

•

Creating a cascade-enabled Dial-out link
The creation of a cascade-enabled dial-out link (participant) in the 

linked conference (Conference A). This dial-out participant functions 

as the link between the two conferences.

•

(Optional) Enabling the cascaded linked participant to connect to the 

linked conference (Conference A) without entering the conference 

password. This can be done by modifying the default settings of the 

relevant system flag.

The cascade-enabled Entry Queue maintains the correct behavior of the 
cascaded link when it dials into it.

When cascading High Definition (HD) conferences, the cascade-enabled 

Entry Queue must have the same settings as both cascaded conferences 

and the participants in both conferences must use the same line rate and 

HD capabilities as set for the conferences and Entry Queue.
To define a Cascade-Enabled Entry Queue:
1

In the RMX Management pane, click the Entry Queues button.
The Entry Queues list pane is displayed.

Click the New Entry Queue  

button.

The New Entry Queue dialog box is displayed.

The cascade-enabled Entry Queue should be used only to connect cascaded 
links and should not be used to connect standard participants to conferences.
