Feature

Description

 

 

Seamless

The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU is built on the strong

interoperability

foundation of the Cisco H.323 and SIP software, ensuring full compliance

 

and unmatched interoperability with IP and ISDN networks.

 

The MCU enables H.323, SIP and SCCP devices to participate in the same

 

conference session.

 

When used with the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3500 Gateway, the

 

MCU also enables ISDN and V.35 wireless devices to participate in the same

 

conference session.

 

 

Intuitive web-based

Both the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU system and actual

management and

conference sessions are managed, configured, and dynamically modified

control

through an intuitive, web-based interface that offers easy, high-level

 

conference control and administrative flexibility for an enhanced user

 

experience.

 

 

 

Supported protocols

H.323 version 4

 

SIP RFC 3261 for the Session Initiation Protocol

 

SCCP

 

H.243 for conference control
