Polycom, Inc.

For calls hosted by a Polycom HDX system, you can define a group in the

directory to call all of the sites at one time. Alternatively, you can place a call

to the first site, and then add other sites after the first call connects. The other

sites can call the Polycom HDX system to join the call.
For calls hosted by a bridge, you might need to enter calling information about

all of the sites before the call begins. Contact your system administrator for

more information.

To place a multipoint call by adding sites to a call:

2

When the call connects, press

Call on the remote control or keypad.

Passwords for Multipoint Calls

You might be required to enter a meeting password to join a multipoint call.

And you can require that far sites enter a meeting password, to prevent

unauthorized participants from joining multipoint calls hosted by your HDX

system.

If you need to generate touch tones (DTMF tones), press

on the keypad

or remote control, or press

and choose Touch Tones. Then use the

keypad or remote control number buttons.

SIP calls do not support meeting passwords. SIP endpoints calling into a
multipoint call protected by a password might not be able to join the call.
