Q: What are the benefits of using the Meeting Connector?
A. There are 2 major benefits:

1. Local traffic stays on your local LAN network; only 1 connection from Meeting Connector traverses the WAN.
2. Maintain privacy for local LAN meetings as no video/voice/data traffic traverses the WAN/public internet.

Q. How many Meeting Connectors do I need?
A. Each Meeting Connector Controller comes with a Zone Controller and Multi-Media Router, and can support up to 200 concurrent participants (devices or rooms). If you need additional capacity, deploy additional Multi-Media Routers to support an additional 200 concurrent participants.

Q. Can Meeting Connectors be distributed geographically?
A. Yes. You can deploy a Meeting Connector Controller locally and distribute Multi-Media Routers (MMRs) to different regions; we recommend up to 4 geographic regions. The Zone Controller will centrally manage the distributed MMRs.

Q. How do the users know to use Meeting Connector?
A. You designate the host as On-Prem and the host will start the meeting on the Meeting Connector. The client on the host will find the nearest Meeting Connector when a meeting is started, while attendees will automatically join the meeting on that Meeting Connector.
