Avaya Mobile Link

Last Updated : Sep 11, 2020 |

If you are connected on a video conference, you can use Avaya Mobile Link to transfer the video conference onto an XT Series endpoint. You can transfer the video conference without connecting the mobile or desktop device to the endpoint with a cable. The XT Series endpoint is used for audio, video, and presentation of the meeting. Avaya Meetings Server continues to run on the device in the Companion mode to support moderation and chat. Companion mode includes everything except the audio and video capture and rendering features.

With Avaya Mobile Link, you can enjoy the XT Series endpoint’s crystal-clear audio, HD camera, and large display during a video conference.

The Mobile Link and Screen Link features differ from one another in one significant way. You can use the Mobile Link feature only during a conference call. However, you can use the Screen Link feature without being on a conference call.

Transferring a video conference to an XT Series endpoint

About this task

Use this procedure to transfer a video conference to an XT Series endpoint.

Note:

If you bridge onto a Mobile Link paired call from an MDA device, the call is dropped.

Before you begin

Ensure that the mobile or desktop device on which Avaya Meetings Server is running is on the same network as the endpoint.

If the device and endpoint are in different networks, ensure that there is no NAT or firewall between them.

  • For automatic pairing, use proximity sensing. The device’s speakers must be able to play audio at up to 19KHz.

    • Set the device speaker volume to the maximum.

    • Do not connect a headset.

    Proximity pairing works in proximity to the endpoint’s microphone. The optimal distance is 1-1.5 m. The exact distance depends on the type of microphone pod used one way or three way and the device’s gain levels.

  • When automatic proximity does not work, use manual pairing.
