4.2 Initiating a Multipoint Conference
You can initiate a multipoint conference in multiple ways on the endpoint web interface.
During a multipoint conference, all the sites can hear and view each other.
4.2.1 Understanding the MCU and Built-in MCU
The endpoint needs to use the MCU or built-in MCU to initiate a multipoint conference. If the
endpoint uses the built-in MCU to initiate a conference, no external MCU is required.
As an indispensable component in a multipoint conference, the MCU is responsible for
multiple functions, such as site access, video exchange, audio mixing, data processing, and
signaling interaction.
Built-in MCU
An endpoint with the built-in MCU function can initiate a multipoint conference by
implementing functions such as site access, video exchange, audio mixing, data processing,
and signaling interaction. The endpoint can work independently, without involving the other
components on the videoconferencing network in conference scheduling. In this case, the
endpoint functions as a mini MCU.
On the endpoint web interface, choose Maintenance > System Information, and check whether the
endpoint has a built-in MCU.
To provide the built-in MCU function, the endpoint requires a specified license. Contact Huawei
post-sales engineers to purchase the license.
Conferences held with the built-in MCU function have the following features:
After a point-to-point call is set up, site-by-site calls can be made to hold a multipoint
conference.
BFCP or H.239 presentation dual-stream conferences are supported. A SIP site supports
BFCP dual-stream, an H.323 site supports H.239 dual-stream, and a hybrid conference
supports both BFCP and H.239 dual-stream.
Conferences can be locked from the built-in MCU. After a conference is locked, calls
from new sites are restricted.
Conferences can be attended by both H.323 and SIP sites and support H.323 site control.
If a conference is held with a built-in MCU, only Presentation is available.
Built-in MCU Capabilities of TE40/TE50
The built-in MCU supports the access from six HD video sites and three audio-only sites
simultaneously in a conference.
The six HD video sites include the local site that uses its built-in MCU, that is, the
built-in MCU site.
A maximum of six 720p30 full-adaptive sites are supported.
G.722 or G.711 full adaptation is supported.
Built-in MCU Capabilities of TE60
The built-in MCU supports the access from nine HD video sites and three audio-only sites
simultaneously in a conference.
The nine HD video sites include the local site that uses its built-in MCU, that is, the
built-in MCU site.
A maximum of nine 720p30 full-adaptive sites are supported.
Initiating a Multipoint Conference on the endpoint with a Built-in MCU
Before initiating a multipoint conference, you must enable the built-in MCU function. To do
so, choose System Settings > Conference > Normal and set Multipoint call mode to AUTO
or Built-in MCU.
To initiate a multipoint conference using the built-in MCU, call the first site and then place
calls one at a time to several other sites. For details about other methods for initiating a
multipoint conference, see 4.2.2 Initiating a Conference from the Predefined Conference Page,
4.2.3 Initiating a Conference from the Conference History Page, and 4.2.4 Initiating a
Conference from the Address Book Page.
For example, to use the built-in MCU of endpoint A to initiate a conference that includes
endpoints A, B, C, and D, perform the following steps:
From endpoint A, call endpoints B, C, and D until all the calls are set up.
If the built-in MCU of an endpoint is used during a conference, Lock conference can be selected from
the Conference control screen on the endpoint whose built-in MCU is being used to prevent unwanted
additional sites joining the conference.
Conference Control
Three types of roles exist in a multipoint conference initiated using the built-in MCU:
Endpoint to which the built-in MCU belongs, chair site, and non-chair sites. A site can request
chair control rights only after chair control is enabled on the Endpoint to which the built-in
MCU belongs. The chair control is enabled by default.
Only H.323 sites support conference control functions.

NOTE
Only H.323 sites where the endpoints in V100R001C10 are used support the
Conference Video Layout and Start functions.
Non-chair site Request chair
The recording function is available only when the recording server address is configured on the
Endpoint to which the built-in MCU belongs.
Continuous Presence on the Endpoint to Which the Built-in MCU Belongs
The Endpoint to which the built-in MCU belongs adjusts the continuous presence layout
based on the number of sites in the conference, and can add the local video and presentation
to continuous presence. A maximum of 7 sites are supported in continuous presence on the
TE40/TE50, and a maximum of 10 sites are supported in continuous presence on the TE60.
The maximum number of sites in continuous presence includes the local video and presentation.
For details about how to add the local video and presentation to continuous presence, see the
description of Add presentation to continuous presence and Add local video to continuous presence in 7.5.2 Setting General Conference Parameters. The two parameters are invalid to H.323
sites where the endpoints in V100R001C10 are used. For these sites, you can press on the
remote control to add the local video or presentation to continuous presence.
4.2.2 Initiating a Conference from the Predefined Conference
Page
On your endpoint, you can create a conference on the predefined conference page and initiate
it from this page.
Prerequisites
You can use SiteCall or the built-in MCU to initiate a multipoint conference.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Conference > Start Conference and click the Predefined Conferences tab.
Step 2 Click Create Conference and perform either of the following:
Step 3 Click .
SiteCall: Before initiating a conference, define the participant sites and register your
endpoint with the GK server. Then disable the built-in MCU as follows: Choose System
Settings > Conference > Normal and set Multipoint call mode to Multipoint
converge or OFF.
Built-in MCU: Before initiating a conference, enable the built-in MCU as follows:
Choose System Settings > Conference > Normal and set Multipoint call mode to Built-in MCU or AUTO. If it is defined on the Service Management Center (SMC) as
a manageable participant, its built-in MCU capabilities will be restricted by the SMC. In
this case, consult the SMC administrator about the maximum number of calls supported
by the endpoint.
To provide the built-in MCU function, the endpoint requires a specific license. Contact Huawei
post-sales engineers to purchase the license.
Click Address Book. On the displayed tab, select the desired sites.
Click LDAP Address Book. On the displayed tab, search for and select the desired sites.
The selected sites are added to the site list on the right.
Step 4 Set the conference parameters.
If you use the built-in MCU to initiate the conference, set Conference Name, Rate, and
Support recording only.
If you use SiteCall to initiate the conference, set all the parameters listed in the table.
