Chapter 12 IP Video Telephony Configuration
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3540 MCU Conference Bridge Configuration for IP Video Telephony
In addition, these components were tested in the Large
•3544 Cisco Unified Videoconferencing chassis
–Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3544 System
–EMP3 board
•3511 MCU with integrated EMP
The configuration of the 3511 is are similar to the 3540 MCU configuration that this section describes.
Half of the Cisco Unified
When deployed in a Cisco Unified CallManager SCCP environment, the primary function of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing MCU is to provide media processing for conferences. In this capacity, the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing MCU negotiates parameters with the terminals participating in a conference, and it provides media processing. Cisco Unified CallManager manages the call flow. Terminals use Cisco Unified CallManager processes to initiate conferences, and
Cisco Unified CallManager manages the allocation of Cisco Unified Videoconferencing MCU resources.
When deployed in an H.323 environment, the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing MCU manages its own resources and provides media processing. Calls are initiated using the processes that the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing MCU uses for H.323 terminals. In this scenario, you must configure Cisco Unified CallManager to communicate with an H.323 gatekeeper for inbound calls from the MCU. For outbound calls, you must configure in Cisco Unified CallManager an H.323 gateway with the MCU IP address as the device name. This arrangement allows SCCP terminals to participate in conferences that include other SCCP terminals, H.323 terminals, or terminals of both types.
The following tables show how the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3540 MCU was configured using the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Administrator web page. Fields not shown in these tables were set to their default values.
