To host the meeting on your own built-in Media Server or other third party MCUs, you can either
call out to other endpoints to join your meeting, or you can give out your endpoint's address for
them to call in to your endpoint. The endpoint address you give out can be an IP (like 1.2.3.4), or
an H.323 alias (like john_smith) or a URI address (like john@company.com). If you invite
endpoints outside your network, verify with your system administrator that your endpoint's address
is valid for external endpoints.
Your call is securely encrypted when it shows a padlock icon
on the monitor. Ask your system
administrator to configure encryption (see Deployment Guide for Avaya XT Series).
Important:
Using encryption is subject to local regulation. In some countries, it is restricted or limited for
usage. For more information, consult your local reseller.
Procedure
1. To call a new endpoint, access the direct call screen. From the Avaya XT Series web
interface, select Make your Call > Basic Options > Direct Call. From the endpoint's main
menu, select Call, or press
on the XT Remote Control Unit.
Figure 20: Enter a new dial string to contact an endpoint
Enter the dial string and select Call, or press ok/menu on the XT Remote Control Unit.
The dial string can be the endpoint's number, or an H.323 alias like john_smith, or a URI
address like john@company.com. Alternatively, it can be an Avaya Spaces URL address.
Important:
Your organization may also have implemented a dial plan, which defines various dial
prefixes to determine the characteristics of a call. For example, you may be able to dial
8 before the videoconference number for a lower bandwidth call, or 6 for an audio-only
call. For more information on the dial plan in your organization, contact your system
administrator.
