Slide notes
There are five basic steps to this lab exercise, as outlined in your student guide. First, we will login to an RMX running version 8.1 and verify the SVC license. Then, we will create a conference profile using the new Conferencing Mode of CP and SVC. A new meeting room will be created using this new profile and then we will dial into the conference with both AVC and SVC endpoints. Finally, we will use the RMX Manager application to verify the AVC and SVC connectivity of each endpoint.

Because SVC is now a licensed feature of the RMX, it is important to examine the license information and verify that SVC is set to True. If SVC is not currently enabled, you will need to retrieve and apply a new Activation Key for this RMX. Click OK to close the System Information window.
