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

Starting a Meeting
About this task
Like a mobile phone, your Avaya XT Series can dial another endpoint by directly entering a new
dial string like a number, or choose a recently dialed entry, or dial a saved contact from your
address book.
If you want to join or host a meeting with several participants, you must decide which MCU is
hosting the meeting:
• Your endpoint’s built-in MCU (selected models only and requires a license)
• Another endpoint’s built-in MCU
• A dedicated MCU like the Scopia Elite MCU or the Equinox Conferencing Media Server
