If your organization uses Polycom’s PathNavigator, you can use PathNavigator’s 
Conference on Demand feature to place multipoint calls with up to 10 sites, 
including the site that places the call. 

In order to place calls using PathNavigator, you need to:

❑

register your ViewStation system with PathNavigator,

❑

configure your ViewStation system to use PathNavigator for multipoint calls 
(see 

), and 

❑

create a multi-site entry in the Address Book that can be used to place the 
multipoint call.

Things to note when using PathNavigator’s Conference on Demand: 

❑

Once the call begins, users cannot add another site to the call — even if the site 
was in the call originally and is attempting to rejoin. Because of this, you 
cannot place cascaded multipoint calls through PathNavigator.

❑

The MGC needs to have enough ports available to complete the call. The 
system displays a message if the MGC does not have enough ports available 
to connect all the sites.

You can set up the system to answer calls automatically or manually or to refuse 
incoming calls.

Go to System Info > Admin Setup > General Setup.

Select Auto-Answer Point to Point to set the answer mode for calls with one 
site, or select Auto-Answer Multipoint to set the mode for calls with two or 
more other sites.

Choose from the following:

 — To answer calls automatically

 — To answer calls manually

 — To refuse incoming calls automatically. The caller 

receives a message that the site is unavailable.
