Dialing into a Multipoint Call
A multipoint call is just like a regular video call except that there are more than
two sites Ñ in the same way that a conference call is a telephone call with more
than two parties.
Multipoint videoconferences are controlled by a device called a multipoint
bridge. The bridge, which could be located at your site or far away, enables
people at many sites to join together in a videoconference.
To dial into a multipoint call:
1. Dial the number for the bridge.
You can get the number for the bridge from the person who set up the
multipoint videoconference or from your system administrator.
2. If you see a message requesting a password, type the password and press
ENTER .
If you donÕt know the password, contact the person who set up the multipoint
videoconference or your system administrator.
3. If you see the Welcome message, you can begin talking to the other sites in the
videoconference. If you see the Waiting message, wait for the other sites to join
the conference.
For more information about using multipoint, refer to the Using Multipoint tab in
this notebook.
