TANDBERG MPS ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

This Administrator Guide is provided to help you make the best use of your TANDBERG MPS, Media Processing System.

The TANDBERG MPS enables sites on IP (H.323 and SIP), ISDN and High Speed Serial (V.35/RS449/RS530 w/RS366 support)

to participate in meetings with each other, and at the same time it offers superior quality and ease of use in one fully-featured multipoint control unit, MCU.

The TANDBERG MPS may also include the optional Gateway functionality.

MPS Models

The TANDBERG MPS can be found in two models, the MPS 800 a 9U-sized unit, and the MPS 200 a 3U-sized unit.

The two models differ in the size of the chas- sis and the number of boards that they can host. However there are no differences in the feature set. Therefore in this manual, we will use the term TANDBERG MPS to refer to both models, unless a specific situation requires referring to each model with its own name.

Main Features

•IP, ISDN PRI, Leased E1/T1 (G.703) and High Speed Serial (V.35/RS449/RS530 w/RS366 support) networks are sup- ported at call rates of up to 2 Mbps for each call.

•Up to 40 simultaneous conferences with the MPS 800, and up to 10 simultaneous conferences with the MPS 200.

•Up to 160 video sites and 48 telephony calls with the MPS 800 and up to 40 vid- eo sites and 32 telephony calls with the MPS 200 can be supported at the same time in some configurations, each benefit- ing from the same superb audio and video quality. The TANDBERG MPS can also be

used purely as an audio-bridge.

•Secure ConferenceTF - using standard based AES 128 and DES encryption. Sup- port both H.235 v2 and v3 in the same conference.

•Best ImpressionTF - Automatic selection of layout and resolution depending on number of meeting participants.

•Numerous different conference layouts, 16:9 wide formats and Voice Switched mode.

•Dual Video Stream - support for DuoVideoTF, H.239 and BFCP.

•DuoVideoTF/H.239/BFCP - automatically distributed to conference participants supporting these protocols. Support for mix of DuoVideoTF and the H.239 or BFCP protocols in same conference. Endpoints not supporting these protocols will receive main stream.

•DownspeedingTF - if channels are dropped during a videoconferencing session, the connection is automatically re-established without interruption.

•Audio and video transcoding to the best quality available.

•Secure Access - support SSH, XML/SOAP over HTTPS, Web (HTTP) encrypted pass- word. The Telnet, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS and SNMP services can be disabled.

•Web-interface for system management, call management, diagnostics, multi language and software uploads.

•Worldwide compatibility with standards- based videoconferencing systems.

•Gateway functionality – Embedded gate-

way with up to 80 Gateway calls on the MPS 800 and up to 20 Gateway calls on the MPS 200.

•Ad Hoc functionality and Single number dial in, with waiting room and dynamic access and authorization mechanisms. Possibility to pre-configure up to 500 personal conference and service prefix for dynamic allocation of personal confer- ence.

•Up to double bandwidth capacity on IP only, non encrypted calls.

•Support for participant identification in video, with localizations support (Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Korean and Russian).

•Encoding support for High Definition Conti- nous Precence resolution.

•Optimal Voice Switch - Video switching, providing point-to-point quality.

Options

Simplifies scheduling and the use of video meeting resources through highly automated functionality:

•Management using TANDBERG Manage- ment Suite.

•Scheduling using TANDBERG Scheduler, Microsoft® Outlook®, Microsoft® Office Communicator® or IBM Lotus Notes®

•Ad Hoc conferencing through Microsoft® Office Communicator®

TANDBERG MPS Capacity

The TANDBERG MPS 800 can support up to

•40 simultaneous conferences

•160 simultaneous video calls

•48 simultaneous telephone calls

•80 simultaneous Gateway calls

The TANDBERG MPS 200 can support up to

•10 simultaneous conferences

•40 simultaneous video calls

•32 simultaneous telephone calls

•20 simultaneous Gateway calls

TANDBERG MPS Capacity on IP

The maximum bandwidth on IP for each Media Processing Board is 15360 kbps. With 8 Media Processing Boards installed in a MPS 800 the maximum bandwidth on IP is 122800 kbps.

Setting Encryption to On will decrease the maximum bandwidth throughput, but not the total number of ports. The maximum bandwidth for each of the Media Processing Boards is 7680 kbps with Encryption set to On in all calls.

TANDBERG MPS Capacity on ISDN

The maximum bandwidth for ISDN for each Media Process- ing Board is 7680 kbps. With 4 E1/T1 ISDN Interface Card installed in a MPS 800, and 8 Media Processing Boards the maximum bandwidth is 61440 kbps.

One V.35 Serial Interface Card could handle maximum 61440 kbps in maximum 32 calls. More V.35 Serial Interface Card would increase, not the bandwidth capacity, but the number of possible calls up to a maximum of 128 calls. The Gateway capacity is 7680 kbps per Media.

In a secure conference, there is no support for tele-

!phone participants.

To increase the capacity, the MCU can be connected

in a cascade. See Technical Descriptions > Distrib-

uted MCUs for details.
