Chapter 1-System Overview

• Meeting Rooms – set up once, use many times.
Meeting Rooms are saved in memory (using no resources) and can be
activated as many times as needed.
• Ad Hoc Entry Queue – no setup, a new conference can be created when
a user dials in and enters a conference ID that is not being used by an
existing conference or Meeting Room.
• Gateway calls – from IP endpoints to other participants, using the
direct dialing method, with up to 10 destination numbers contained
in a single dial string.
Scheduled Conferencing / Reservations
Reservations provide calendar-based scheduling of single or recurring
conferences. These conferences can be launched immediately or become
ongoing, at a specified time on a specified date.
Polycom Conferencing for Microsoft Outlook®
Polycom Conferencing for Microsoft Outlook is implemented by installing the
Polycom Conferencing Add-in for Microsoft Outlook on the Microsoft Exchange
Server
® and Microsoft Outlook e-mail clients. It enables meetings to be
scheduled with video endpoints from within Outlook. The add-in also
adds a Polycom Conference button in the Meeting tab of the Microsoft
Outlook e-mail client ribbon.
