usepathnavigator <always|never|required|
get>
Description
This command selects the PathNavigator™ mode, if PathNavigator
is used with the system. Because PathNavigator uses an MGC, it
can handle videoconferences with more participants and higher
speeds than an embedded MCU. PathNavigator, which supports
ad-hoc multipoint videoconferencing, is required to implement
Conference on Demand™. Conference on Demand allows users to
bring multiple endpoints together in a videoconference 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.
always Always use PathNavigator to place a multipoint call.
Never use the external MCU.
never Never use PathNavigator to place a multipoint call. Use
the external MCU instead.
required This is the default. When this option is selected, if the
multipoint call is within the MCU capabilities, it is
handled by the MCU; otherwise, beyond the MCU
capabilities, it is handled through the
PathNavigator/MGC.
get Displays the current setting (always, never, or
required).
Note 1 This option is only accessible if PathNavigator is used.
Note 2 ViewStation EX: this multipoint option is not available
unless you update your ViewStation EX system to support
multipoint capabilities. For more information, refer to the
ViewStation EX User Guide.
