1. Introduction

This guide provides step-by-step procedures for the TIPT Video Meeting Room (“VMR”) service.

The TIPT VMR feature allows a TIPT user to create and manage multiparty Video Meetings using their VMR meeting number. TIPT users with a compatible video handset such as a Polycom VVX Video phone, can dial into a Video Meeting Room and see the other TIPT Video participants dialled into the Video Meeting Room. It may also be possible for other compatible TIPT audio end points, video devices, phones or mobile devices to join the VMR.

2. What is a Video Meeting Room?

A VMR is a dedicated conferencing dial-in number on Telstra’s Hosted Video Conferencing network environment. Each owner of the VMR service will receive their own VMR number. Owners can create multipoint Video calls whenever they dial the VMR number. All participants dial the Enterprise wide allocated Dial-in number followed by the VMR number to join the meeting. Compatible ISDN Video services, 3G Video mobile services, and other audio services (such as PSTN, Mobile, etc) can join a VMR meeting by dialling dedicated gateway numbers followed by the Meeting ID. Compatible Telstra IP Video services can also join a meeting by dialling the Meeting ID directly.

3. TIPT Video Meeting Room Overview

Your company will be allocated one Meeting Dial In number. Each owner of a TIPT Video Meeting Room (user who has the TIPT VMR feature pack assigned to them) will receive the following VMR details:

1. Company Dial-in number

2. VMR Meeting ID

3. VMR Moderator PIN

When organising a video meeting, users include their Video Meeting Room details in their meeting invite to establish an ad-hoc multiparty video/audio conference. Ask the guests to call the Enterprise wide Dial-in number followed by the VMR Meeting ID number from compatible devices. The owner of the VMR is the moderator (host) of the meeting, and they must first enter their Moderator PIN at one of the endpoints to kick off the meeting. The Video Meeting Room allows up to 8 participants to join the meeting room. Business to Business (B2B) connectivity is also supported between other enterprise TIPT users either video or audio. It is possible for the host of the meeting room to control the video

meeting (see options below), and to dial other users into the meeting from a meeting menu. Calling usage fees apply when dialling from the meeting to another party. Meetings involving other non TIPT compatible video services may be possible possible. These are: ISDN Video services, 3G mobile video services, and other audio services (such as PSTN, Mobile, etc). This is achieved by the end point dialling dedicated gateway numbers, followed by the VMR Meeting ID number. Meetings involving other compatible Telstra IP Video Conferencing services (including B2B) are also possible by the video user dialling directly into the TIPT Video Meeting Room, or by TIPT users dialling directly into a Telstra IP Video Virtual Meeting room. The owner (Moderator) of the VMR has meeting Moderator privileges. All video participants have options they can also change.
