MCU Pools MCU Management

Note

MCU pools and pool orders are not used to select an ISDN gateway for simplified gateway dialing. See “ISDN Gateway Selection Process” on page 147.

You can use various criteria for organizing MCUs into pools, depending on how you want the MCU resources allocated for conferencing. For instance:

•You could put all MCUs in a specific site or domain into a pool. Then, assign a pool order to all users in that site or domain (via group membership) ensuring that their conferences are preferentially routed to MCUs in that pool.

•You could put one or more MCUs into a pool to be used only by executives, and put that pool into a pool order associated only with those executives’ conference rooms.

•You could put MCUs with special capabilities into a pool, and put that pool into a pool order associated only with custom conference rooms requiring those capabilities.

The following table describes the fields in the list.
