values.

Figure 1-20 Setting camera parameters

1.5 P2P Call

A P2P call can be initiated by using an IP address, site number, or URI. You can initiate a quick call, a
historical call, or an address book call.

1.5.1 P2P Call Using the Remote Control

Method 1: quick call

Choose from the main menu. If the endpoint has been registered with the GK or SIP server,
you can call the endpoint using the IP address, site number, or URI. If the endpoint has not been
registered with the GK or SIP server, you can call the endpoint only through its IP address.
 HCIA-Collaboration V3.0 Lab Guide-Endpoints Page 24

1.6 Configuring Other Functions

1.6.1 Do Not Disturb
If you do not want new calls or meetings, you can enable the Do Not Disturb function. However,
after the endpoint is powered off, the settings are not saved and are restored to the default values,
and therefore the Do Not Disturb function is disabled by default.
Choose Do Not Disturb from the main menu. On the Do Not Disturb screen, press OK on the remote

1 SMC2.0 Basic Configuration and Operations

1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 About this Lab
The Service Management Center 2.0 (SMC2.0 for short) is a video conference service management
system developed by Huawei. It provides a web management page to users with different rights and
centrally manages participants, Multipoint Control Unit (MCU), CloudMCU, and Switch Center (SC) in
the video conferencing system. By using this system, candidates can reserve, convene, and control
video conferences and allocate and schedule meeting resources in a unified manner.
This lab describes how to log in to and log out of the SMC2.0, add and manage devices, and convene
and control video conferences.

1.2.4 (Optional) Adding a Service Area

To efficiently use MCU resources, the SMC2.0 divides the areas served by an MCU into service areas
based on certain rules. Service area management ensures that users who convene a video
conference in a service area use media resources in this service area, but allows endpoints outside
any service area to join the conference. One MCU can belong to only one service area.

ensure that the following conditions are met:
a. The trap address of the participant is set to the IP address of the SMC2.0 server.
b. The SNMPv3 user authentication parameters on the participant endpoint are the same as those
on the SMC2.0. The SMC2.0 can discover the participant endpoint only after the authentication
succeeds.

select Perform non-SNMP search (connection time will significantly increase).

Step 3 Enter the participant configuration information.

Set parameters in the General, H.323, and SIP areas and click Save.
 HCIA-Collaboration V3.0 Lab Guide-Platform Page 25

Figure 1-32 Entering participant information

Note:
a. If the SMC uses an embedded SC, set GK address to the IP address of the SMC server.
b. The H.323 ID parameter specifies the alias used by the participant to register with the GK.
Generally, the value is the same as that of the E.164 alias parameter.
c. The E.164 alias parameter specifies the number used by the participant to register with the GK.
Enter a number based on the area plan. The number starts with the area prefix, and has been
added to the GK.
d. The Authentication user name and Password parameters specify the user name and password
used for authentication when the participant registers with the GK or SIP server. The user name
can be customized and must be the same as that on the endpoint.

The E.164 parameter specifies the participant number of the local endpoint. Other endpoints can
use this number to call the local endpoint. The H.323 ID parameter indicates that the GK uses this
name to identify the endpoint after the endpoint registers with the GK. For convenience, the E.164
and H.323 ID parameters can be set to the same value. Customize the authentication user name and
password.

1.4.10 Applying for or Releasing Chair Control Rights

If there is no chair in a multipoint conference, a participant can apply for chair control rights. The
chair has more conference control rights than other members in the conference. For example, the
chair can add participant, broadcast the presence of a participant, broadcast continuous presence,
and give the floor to a specified participant. However, audio-only participants cannot apply for chair
control rights.
1.4.10.1 Applying for Chair Control Rights
On the Scheduled Conference page, click the Participants tab. Then, select the target participant
and click to apply for chair control rights.

sensitivity, and select an option for the Voice activation mode field.

Figure 1-94 Setting the sensitivity and voice activation mode

After the voice activation function is enabled for a conference, the MCU compares the volume of
voice streams sent by the participants. If the volume of one or more participants exceeds the
configured voice activation threshold, the MCU broadcasts the voice stream of the participant with
the highest volume. Otherwise, the MCU does not perform voice activation.
Two voice activation modes are available:
a. Switch by speaker: If a channel in the conference has the highest volume that exceeds the
configured threshold, the MCU automatically broadcasts the HD display corresponding to the
channel.
b. Switch by participant: The MCU broadcasts the voice stream of the participant with the highest
volume.

2.4.2 Adding a Service Area

To better manage conference resources, the SMC can divide a resource pool into multiple service
areas. During conference scheduling, participants in a service area preferentially use conference
resources that meet the service area matching rules, optimizing resource configuration and usage.
This section describes how to associate the default service area with the SC, add a service area,
configure matching rules, and configure a backup service area.

Step 1 Associate the default service area with the SC.

 HCIA-Collaboration V3.0 Lab Guide-Platform Page 74

Log in to the SMC as the system administrator by entering https://SMC IP address/sys-portal. Choose
System Settings > Basic Settings > Service Area. On the page that is displayed, find the default
service area and click . In the Edit dialog box that is displayed, select the SC with which the
intranet endpoints register, configure the required parameters, and click Save.

does not have sufficient conference resources, the system uses the conference resources in the
corresponding backup service area.
Select the service area created in Step 2, click the Backup Service Area tab, and click Add.

In the Add Backup Service Area dialog box that is displayed, select the required backup service area
and click OK.

2.5 Provisioning Conference Rooms

You can add all endpoints in batches or one by one on the SMC3.0.
The SMC3.0 supports two device management modes: manageable mode and unmanageable mode.
By default, a conference room is added to the root organization. If you manually select an
organization for an added conference room, the conference room can be used only for conferences
of the selected organization.
Table 2-7 lists the two management modes and their applicable endpoints.

To better manage conference rooms, you can divide conference rooms by area. The SMC provides
two conference room management modes:
By organization: By default, a conference room can be viewed only by users of the organization and
its parent organization.
By area: A conference room can be used by all users in this area.
This section describes how to create a subarea for area-based conference room management.

Step 1 Create a subarea.

Log in to the SMC web page as the system administrator and choose Service Provisioning > Area &
Conference Room Management > Area & Conference Room. In the Area Management area, select
the area to which a subarea is to be added. In this example, select the default area root. The name
of the default area can be modified.

2.6 Convening a Conference as a Common User

The SMC3.0 allows common users to convene common conferences and data conferences, and
create conference templates. A common conference allows participants to share audios, videos, and
data. The common user can set the start time of a common conference as required. A data
conference allows participants to share audios, videos, data, and electronic whiteboards, send
instant messages, and transfer files. The common user can create conference templates for common
conference and data conference to improve the conference convening efficiency.
