Conference Modes
Voice Activated -This is the one most commonly used mode. All sites see the site that is speaking or presenting. The MCU diplays a site based on which site the sound is coming from.
Presentation - A pre-selected site is chosen to be the presenter. The other sites in a conference, regardless of who is speaking will ALWAYS see that presenter site. The people at the presenting site will see the other sites switch normally, but those other sites will only see the presenter, regardless of who speaks.
Continuous Presence - Continuous Presence breaks the network image (your display) into quadrants. If there are more than four sites in a multi-point conference you will see the four sites who have most recently spoken. When a different site speaks, the site which has gone longest without speaking will be replaced by the new site.You can choose to assign sites to specific quadrants where they will stay regardless of whom speaks.
Broadcast with Scan - A pre-selected site is chosed to be the presenter as with Presentation mode. The presenter selects a scan rate of 5 to 240 seconds at which he will see (scan) the other sites. The other sites will only see the presenter and there is no audio communication available from the other sites.

Universal Conference Control (UCC) - Please choose "no" unless you are trained in Universal Conference Control. UCC is a feature that supplements the various conference types. It works via a telephone call into the multi-point. By using various, short number sequences on the phone's key pad, you can give instructions to the multi-point unit to override switching, toggle between full screen and continuous presence, to drop sites and end conferences.
