(Audio mixing and conference control)
The PJP-MC24 is a Multipoint Audio Control Unit designed exclusively for use with YAMAHA' s IP phone conference system “ProjectPhone.” It manages terminal address information and routes calls between terminals. It also manages conference schedules and automatically establishes connections between terminals for conferencing.Equipped with the digital mixing function, the PJP-MC24 enables a voice conference with multiple participants by connecting up to 24 ProjectPhones (or up to 96 ProjectPhones if four PJP-MC24 units are linked).

Introduction

Introduction
Manages address information and routes calls between terminals
This product manages the address information of individual terminals and routes connection requests to the appropriate recipients. Even when a terminal’s address is not fixed (i.e. the address is assigned dynamically by DHCP), it can always be accessed using the same dialing number. Also, even when calls are made directly between terminals, this product functions as a SIP server and records information about the calls.
Digital mixing function
Equipped with the digital mixing function, this product is able to connect eight ProjectPhones. By connecting two PJP-MC24 units to each ProjectPhone, up to 24 ProjectPhones can be connected for a voice conference with multiple participants.
Link function that supports conferences of varying scales
The link function can be used to connect up to four PJP-MC24 units. When four PJP­MC24 units are connected, four conferences, each with 24 participants, can be held simultaneously, or one conference with 96 participants can be held.
9
10
Introduction
Multi-participant voice conference based on interconnection of ProjectPhones
By using the mixing function of the ProjectPhone instead of the digital mixing function of the PJP-MC24, up to 30 voice conferences can be held simultaneously, each with 10 participants, independent of conferences that are held using the mixing function of the
PJP-MC24. The audio data trafc is processed directly between each terminal so that the trafc load never concentrates on a specic participant location.
Enables automated conferencing with conference management functions and remote control
If you make a conference reservation by selecting the participants and setting the conference time, this product automatically constructs a conference network by calling up and connecting to all of the participants’ ProjectPhones. The participants at each location can join in the conference immediately without bothering to operate their ProjectPhones. The ad hoc conference function allows up to 10 participants to join a conference without a reservation, to hold a casual conference where the participants can discuss the topics freely in an open space.
Audio port
You can also connect an audio device to the audio port on the front panel of the PJP-MC24 to allow the audio device to join the voice conference. Devices equipped with a general audio interface, such as mobile phones, third-party conference systems and PCs, can be connected.
Easy to operate
• You can congure this product using its built-in Web interface (GUI screen). Not only can you use a Web browser on the PC to congure this product, you can also monitor
active conferences and conference participants in real time.
• This product’s front panel indicator LEDs indicate connection problems as well as call and conference status.

Note
Use a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel to enter all participant information into the template CSV le. You can input information for up to 500 participants.
Data entry guidelines
Follow these guidelines when entering participant information.
1. Put quotation marks around the location number.
If you do not do this, you may experience problems when assigning location numbers that start with zero, because Microsoft Excel automatically deletes preceding zeros.
× (0166) ○ (“0166”)
Tips
You do not need to put quotation marks around location numbers that do not start with zero. However, the PJP-MC24 automatically puts quotation marks around all numbers when
saving data to a CSV le.
• If one of the participating terminals is a PJP-50R, see page 32 for special considerations
that need to be made when choosing location number prexes.
• Do not surround location numbers with quotation marks when entering them in the Web
interface.
2. How the PJP-MC24 handles blank spaces
• The spaces before and after character data are not recognized as data.
• Spaces inside of quotation marks are recognized as data.
• Spaces contained within characters other than commas are recognized as data.
“TokyoOfce” will be read as “TokyoOfce” Tokyo Ofce will be read as “Tokyo Ofce”

Follow these steps to congure the participants’ ProjectPhones.
1. Set the IP address (next page).
Set the IP address, netmask, and default gateway that the ProjectPhone will use.
2. Register SIP server information (page 45).
Congure the participant’s ProjectPhones so that they refer to the PJP-MC24 as a SIP
server.
3. Enable remote control from the PJP-MC24 (page 47).
Congure the ProjectPhone to accept control signals from the PJP-MC24 used to start
conferences.
• Before performing the following operations, you need to congure the ProjectPhones network
connection settings. For more details, please see the ProjectPhone Setup Guide.
• The following explanation gives examples of how the settings would be congured using the
PJP-100H ProjectPhone.
If a participant is using a PJP-50R:
If you are using a PJP-50R and want to make calls directly to other ProjectPhones, then
you need to pay special attention to the PJP-50R dialing prex settings.
• You can use prexes to identify the type of network that you want to call to. To dial other ProjectPhones, you enter the IP network prex, followed by the location number. If you choose not to specify a prex for IP network calls, you can call other ProjectPhones by
simply entering their location numbers.
• However, if location numbers start with network prex numbers (for example a network prex is set to zero and there is a location number “0010” then you will have to change the PJP-50R dialing prex settings in order to reach those location numbers. For more
details, please see the PJP-50R Basic Operation Guide.

Types of Conferences You Can Hold with the PJP-MC24
Two types of conferences can be held with the PJP-MC24: Mixer conference and local conference. You can select the conference type according to the number of participants and other conditions.
Tips
For conferences not requiring a reservation, see “Starting a Conference without a Reservation” (page 65).
Mixer Conference
The mixing function of the PJP-MC24 is used to connect ProjectPhones at a maximum of 24 locations.
• Multiple mixer conferences cannot be held simultaneously if only one PJP-MC24 unit is used.
• When Cascade (page 64) is used to link four PJP-MC24 units, you can hold up to four mixer conferences simultaneously, each with 24 participants, or one mixer conference with 96 participants.
Starting a Conference with a Reservation
Starting a Conference with a Reservation
Local Conference
The mixing functions of the participant's terminals (ProjectPhones) can be used to hold up
to 30 conferences in addition to mixer conferences. Local conferences are classied into
the mesh connection type and the cascade connection type.
• The PJP-MC24 schedules conferences, manages participants and conference
resources, and constructs the conference network.
• Once connection has been established between the participants, they transfer audio
data directly with each other without going through the PJP-MC24.

Troubleshooting
Q1
When LEDs are off or blinking
Symptom
All LEDs do not light.
The LINK LED at the LAN port does not turn on.
Cause
The PJP-MC24 is not turned on. Turn the power switch on.
The power cord is not connected.
The main or line circuit breakers have been tripped.
There is a power outage. Wait until power returns.
The outlet is not receiving power. (when other devices cannot be used either).
The PC or hub is turned off.
The PJP-MC24 is not connected properly.
Solution
Make sure that the power cord is secured
rmly in the power socket.
If the breaker is switched off, switch it
on.
If the breaker is switched on, switch it
off and then back on again.
If other devices are not functioning
either, have the outlet or wiring xed.
If other devices are functioning on the
same outlet, have the PJP-MC24 xed.
Confirm that the PJP-MC24 and the devices connected to it are on. Even if a device is connected correctly to the LAN port, the LAN LED will not light unless the connected device is turned on.
Remove all cords and then reinsert them, making sure that they click into place.
All LEDs are lighted
The cable in use is not a LAN cable.
The PC LAN (network) card is not functioning properly, or its connection mode is not compatible with the PJP-MC24.
Immediately after the power has been turned on (normal operation).
The PJP-MC24 is broken. Have the PJP-MC24 repaired.
Make sure that you are not using an
ISDN cable (the connectors look exactly the same, so it can be hard to tell the difference).
Try switching to a different LAN cable.
If other devices are not functioning
either, have the outlet or wiring xed.
If other devices are functioning on the
same outlet, have the PJP-MC24 xed.
Wait for about three seconds for loading
to nish.
