Defining Cascading Conferences

Polycom®, Inc. 

241

To establish the links between two RealPresence Collaboration Servers requires the following procedures 
be performed:

● Establish the Master-Slave relationships between the cascaded conferences by defining the dialing 

direction.

● Create the Master and Slave conferences, defining the appropriate line rate.
● Create a cascade-enabled Dial-out Participant link in the Master conference 
● Create a cascade-enabled Dial-in Participant link in the Slave conference.

The connection between two cascaded conferences is established by a cascade enabled dial-out and dial-in 
participants, acting as a cascades link.

The dialing direction determines whether the dial-out participant is defined in the conference running on the 
Master MCU or the Slave MCU. For example, if the dialing direction is from the Master conference on level 
1 to the Slave conference on level 2, the dial-out participant is defined in the Master conference on level 1 
and a dial-in participant is defined in the Slave conference running on the MCU on level 2.

If the cascade-enabled dial-out participant always connects to the same destination conference on the other 
(second) MCU, the participant properties can be saved in the Address Book of the MCU for future repeated 
use of the cascaded link.
