Conference status

The conference status page displays the status of active and completed conferences and video and audio processing.

To access this information, go to

.

Refer to the table below for assistance in interpreting the information displayed:

Conference status

Video status

Audio status

For information about the number and type of ports provided by each MCU model, refer to MCU port matrix.

In many cases, the values displayed on this page are shown in the format ; this represents:

– the current value of this statistic

– the maximum achieved value of this statistic (since last reset)

– the maximum allowable number for this statistic (this varies by MCU model)

Statistics for which there is no set maximum will be displayed as just	, where and have the meanings as
described above.

Where the highest value attained is shown in parentheses (i.e. in the above example), this value can be reset by

selecting

. These values can be useful in monitoring peak MCU usage over a period of time.

Conference status displays an overview of active and completed conferences.

The number of conferences that are currently configured on the MCU.

The number of auto attendants that are currently in use. If you dial in with an endpoint to the auto attendant, this will go up by one. It does not reflect the number of configured auto attendants.

The number of conferences that were once active but are now not.

The total number of calls into an auto attendant, excluding any in progress. If you call an auto attendant and enter into a conference or hang up the call, this number increases by one.

The number of people currently in conferences.

The number of people who were previously participating in a conference (since the last time the MCU restarted).

The number of people currently watching conferences via a streaming application, such as Apple QuickTime or RealPlayer.

The number of streaming sessions out of the Active streaming viewers value shown above which are using TCP media transport rather than UDP.

This value is shown if the MCU is not operating in Port reservation mode, and

A SIP conference participant opens a BFCP channel to the MCU and contributes a video stream, such as that supplied by a second camera or an attached PC If the MCU is configured to allow encryption, each individual conference can be configured to either require encryption or to optionally use encryption.
