Mividas Rooms enables active connections for remote offices using our Mividas Proxy client.

Video conference system from remote offices can be added to Mividas Rooms the same way as local systems but this will result with the system having a passive connection due to firewall rules etc. With a passive connection the systems themselves contact Mividas Rooms using a time interval, which will result in a bit of a delayed response.

To get an active connection, simply install Mividas Proxy in the remote office network, which will handle the communication with the video conferencing systems and Mividas Rooms.

Manage the different proxy clients by navigating to Mividas Rooms > Admin > Proxy clients.
