About SCOPIA Elite MCU
SCOPIA Elite MCU (Multipoint Conferencing Unit) is a device that provides multipoint
videoconferencing services supporting audio, data and video. Participants, using various
videoconferencing devices that support different protocols, can take part in the same conference
hosted on SCOPIA Elite MCU. For example, a SIP-based IP phone user can create a conference and
invite other parties using a H.323-based IP phone, a 3G phone, standard definition or high
definition room systems and even a Telepresence system.

video layout, depending of the configuration performed by an administrator, can be different,
showing conference participants in frames.

Starting or Joining a Conference Using an Auto Attendant Number
You can start or join a conference using an auto attendant number with both H.323 and SIP
endpoints.
Procedure
Step 1 Contact an administrator and verify the auto attendant number. By default, the auto attendant
number is set to 1800.
Step 2 From the endpoint, dial the auto attendant number, then perform one of these actions:
•Select 0 to create a new meeting.

-or-
•Select a meeting to join from the list of existing meetings.
Starting or Joining a Conference with H.323 Endpoints by Dialing Directly into the SCOPIA
Elite MCU
Perform this procedure to start or join an ad hoc conference with H.323 endpoints.
Procedure
Step 1 Contact an administrator and verify the meeting ID number.
The meeting ID number is composed of a service prefix number and a unique number (or numbers)
identifying the meeting.
For example, the meeting ID number of 711234 consists of these elements:
•71 is the service prefix.
•1234 is the unique meeting number.
