usepathnavigator
Description
This command selects the PathNavigator™ mode, if PathNavigator is used
with the system. Because PathNavigator uses an MGC, it can handle video
conferences with more participants and higher speeds than an embedded
MCU. PathNavigator, which supports ad-hoc multipoint video conferencing,
is required to implement Conference on Demand™. Conference on Demand
allows users to bring multiple endpoints together in a video conference on an
unscheduled basis. It allows users to place multipoint video calls to remote
participants by only using their names and/or numbers that correspond to
those remote locations.
