Chapter 3: Starting a New Call1
Important:
You can access the XT Series using a browser (Web UI) or the end point main menu (Graphical2
User Interface, GUI). Not all figures in this manual show both interfaces. Some figures show3
either the web UI or the end point main menu. The field and menu names on both interfaces are4
almost identical.5
You can start a videoconference on the Avaya Scopia
®
XT Series in several ways. This section6
outlines how to dial to other endpoints in different modes, how to start videoconferences with many7
participants, and how to answer and end a meeting.8
To quickly dial with the settings best suited for a specific contact, we recommend setting up your9
phone book to include calling your favorite contacts list, along with the contact's information. For10
example, you can set a contact to audio-only, and this setting is automatically used when calling this11
contact.12

About this task19
Like a mobile phone, your Avaya Scopia
®
XT Series can dial another endpoint by directly entering20
a new dial string like a number, or choose a recently dialed entry, or dial a saved contact from your21
address book.22
If you want to join or host a meeting with several participants, you must decide which MCU is23
hosting the meeting:24
• Your endpoint’s built-in MCU (selected models only and requires a license)25
• Another endpoint’s built-in MCU26
• A dedicated MCU like the Scopia Elite MCU or the Equinox Conferencing Media Server27
To host the meeting on your own built-in MCU or other third party MCUs, you can either call out to28
other endpoints to join your meeting, or you can give out your endpoint's address for them to call29
