  • Page 49: Overview Of Conference Using The Pjp-Mc24

    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 classified 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.
  • Page 50 Mesh Connection In a mesh network, a communication path is established between each participant. The PJP-MC24 can connect up to four participants on this type of network. MIC MUTE Participant A Audio Signal Participant C Cascade Connection Up to 10 participants can be cascaded-connected.

    You can start a reserved conference at the scheduled time without operating the PJP- MC24. The following explains the connection process for participants. Prepare the ProjectPhone for the Conference. • Turn on the ProjectPhone and connect its LAN cable, so that it will be able to connect to the PJP-MC24. • Disconnect the ProjectPhone from all other terminals.You can check the ProjectPhone display to see whether or not the ProjectPhone is connected to other terminals and whether or not it will be able to connect to the PJP-MC24.
  • Page 58 Wait for the PJP-MC to Establish a Connection When the schedule time arrives, the PJP-MC24 automatically calls the terminals of the participants. The PJP-MC24 will automatically establish a connection, so there is no need to operate the ProjectPhone or to try to call the product. When the PJP-MC24 calls a terminal, the ProjectPhone will ring briefly before automatically connecting to the network. Note The PJP-MC24 builds the network topology at the start of the conference, so participants will not be able to connect to the product before it has established a connection with them.
