Chapter 5: Starting a New Call
Important:
You can access the Avaya 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 Media
Server is hosting the meeting:
• Your endpoint’s built-in Media Server (selected models only and requires a license)
• Another endpoint’s built-in Media Server
• A dedicated Media Server like the Scopia Elite MCU or the Avaya Meetings Server Media
