[AG-TECH] GT1524 for Telco Bridge

I'm not sure. We use the fairly standard Gentner (ClearOne) XAP 800/TH2 
config.

Perhaps you mean a telco to network bridge, but I figure It should be 
made clear that a telco and a network bridge are two different things. 
A telco bridge will bridge a telephone call to the AG network, while a 
network bridge will allow another AG site without multicast 
capabilities to "borrow" your multicast connection.

It doesn't really matter. The meeting participants won't be able to 
tell where the audio is coming from, since it's only audio (I'm talking 
telco bridge). Typically, the site hosting the meeting would host the 
call.

RAT thinks the telco call is just another microphone in your room, so 
it's only one audio stream.

I hope this helps.
