Defining Cascading Conferences
Polycom®, Inc. 247
Creating the Cascade-enabled Entry Queue
The cascade-enabled Entry Queue maintains the correct behavior of the cascaded link when it dials into it.
When cascading High Definition (HD) conferences, the cascade-enabled Entry Queue must have the same
settings as both cascaded conferences and the participants in both conferences must use the same line rate
and HD capabilities as set for the conferences and Entry Queue.
To Define a Cascade-Enabled Entry Queue:
1 In the RealPresence Collaboration Server Management pane, click the Entry Queues button.
The Entry Queues list pane is displayed.
2 Click the New Entry Queue button.
The New Entry Queue dialog box is displayed.
3 Define the standard Entry Queue parameters (as described in Defining a New Entry Queue).
4 In the Cascade field, select Master or Slave depending on the Master/Slave relationship.
Set this field to Master if the Entry Queue is defined on the MCU that is at the center of the
topology and other conferences dial into it (acting as the Master).
Set this field to Slave if the Entry Queue is defined on the MCU acting as a Slave, that is, to which
the link from the Master MCU (MCU at the center of the topology) is dialing.
If you are defining an HD cascaded Entry Queue, it is recommended to select the same Profile that
is selected for both conferences.
The cascade-enabled Entry Queue should be used only to connect cascaded links and should not be
used to connect standard participants to conferences.
