simplified ISDN dialing calls.
This has no effect on the MCUs themselves, which continue to accept any
calls from other sources.

MCU Pools The MCU Pools list shows the MCU pools, or logical groupings of media
servers, that are defined in the Polycom DMA system. In a superclustered
system, this list is the same on all clusters in the supercluster. A pool may
group MCUs based on location, capability, or some other factor.
Every conference room (VMR) is associated with an MCU pool order (either
by direct assignment, via the user’s enterprise group membership, or from the
system default). The pool(s) to which an MCU belongs, and the pool order(s)
to which a pool belongs, are used to determine which MCU is used to host a
conference. For details of how an MCU is chosen for a conference, see “MCU
Pool Orders” on page 141.
Note
MCU pools were called MCU zones in earlier versions of the Polycom DMA system.
The name was changed to avoid confusion with the concept of gatekeeper zones.
