8.

IP SIP REINVITE SIP protocol allows ways of changing

one or more parameters in an existing

session. It is performed by sending a

REINVITE request with the desirable

mode to the other SIP entities in the

conference.

Version 7.5 supports the SIP REINVITE

request sent by the remote SIP endpoint

to the MGC in the following instances:

• Party Media - change in the

participant’s IP address.

• Conference Media - change in the

participant status that is informed to

the conference, such as mute and

hold.

• Change Mode - changes that affect

the conference media and may affect

other participants as a result, such as

change in the video protocol.

• Later Video - Upgrade the SIP

connection from audio only to video.

that allows a UA (User Agent) to query

another UA or a proxy server for its SIP

and media capabilities.

10.

IP SIP REFER Support for SIP RFC-3265 (REFER) that

instructs the recipient of the REFER

request to contact a third party using the

contact information included with the

REFER request. This allows any SIP UA

to send the URI of another UA to the

conference and instructs the conference

to create a new dial-out participant and

dial to it.

11.

IP SIP Factory Allows SIP endpoints to create ad hoc

conference and automatically connect to

the conference.

Version 7.5 uses Numeric ID as the routing method from Entry Queues to destination

conferences. If your current version uses conference or chairperson password for routing

from Entry Queues to destination conferences, when upgrading to Version 7.5, you must

modify the system.cfg file included in the software kit.

To upgrade the MCU version:

1. Download the MCU software to the MCU. For more details, see “MGC Unit Software

Upgrade Procedure”.

2. To route participants from the Entry Queue to the destination conference using the

conference or chairperson password, you must modify the system.cfg file included in

the software kit:

a. Open the system.cfg file located in the MCU software folder.

b. In the GREET AND GUIDE/IVR section, change the value of

QUICK_LOG_IN_VIA_ENTRY_QUEUE flag to YES.

c. Optional. To assign the same Numeric ID to different non concurrent

conferences, in the GENERAL section change the value of

RESERVATION_CONFERENCE_ID_UNIQUE to NO.

d. Save the file.

3. Send the “system.cfg” file to the MCU (MCU Utils -> Send File).

4. Reset the MCU.

5. Install the MGC Manager application Version 7.5.

6. In the MGC Manager application, list the IVR/Entry Queue Message Services.

7. For each listed Entry Queue Service, assign the appropriate voice messages in the new

Conference ID tab.

Before upgrading the MCU software version:

• If you do not have a dongle installed on your MCU, you must install it before upgrading to

version 7.X.X. For more information, please contact Support.

• A new dongle file must be loaded to the MCU to upgrade from version 5.XX or 6.XX to

version 7.X.X.

• Backup your configuration, including all Message Services.

• It is important to back up all reservations in the MCU. This is to safeguard against

reservations being lost. However, reservations backups can only be used with the same

version for which backups were created.

Entry Queue Password routing mode is required to run PCS version 7.0.0.
