Keep the highway-VCS-control or switch to Expressway-C/E?

We currently have CUCM 9.1 2, VCS-control (virtual) 8.6 and 8.6 VCS-Expressway (Physics) in our environment. Endpoints are a mixup of SIP and SCCP, Jabber customers phones and EX90 4. Everything had been originally been setup with our EX90 to register for VCS and the pair of VCS to just be there for the EX90 to use (they were quite nice sitting here doing nothing with the little utility that we see in our EX90s).

A few weeks ago, I dug in our configuration to better use our infrastructure and do some things that were never done during the initial implementation of our system of phone two years ago. I have installation MRA on the pair of VCS to allow to our Jabber endpoints to record without VPN, update the EX90 with keys now free option for PR, DD, etc., saved the EX90s to CUCM instead of VCS and update the firmware on the pair of VCS and EX90.

Final update nagging I confusion keep me on is that I should get licenses to convert our VCS-control and highway Highway-C and E or keep as-is. It seems that C/E are the wave of the future with Cisco wanting to check directly to CUCM, so I feel like it's the 'right' thing to do here...

-Without registering on VCS more, I'm better convert Expressway-C/E?

-Did I miss all the features/functionality leaving them alone?

-My 5 traversal licenses will become licenses RMS once converted? (I saw mixed reviews on this and prefer not to spend the extra $750 / piece on them if I can convert my existing licenses).

Thank you!

Pete

Not really sure on the migration options to license, but right now that VCS can do everything that expressway can do, and more.  RMS licenses are less expensive than the traversal licenses, so if you plan to expand, it might be cheaper in the future.  Other than that, I don't see no reason to abandon the feature.

  • Can we use licenses of the highway on the highway VCS?

    Dear team,

    We have 10.5 CUCM, control VCS, MCU, ISDN GW TMS Infrastructure deployed in one of our customer place. Now the client asking the Internet settings to be able to join CUCM registered endpoints. But we got the highway licenses and so we installed aboard the VMinstance Highway and installed licenses, now my query is this set works? Otherwise, we can transfer those licenses to expressway VCS?

    Please suggest!

    Hi Eric,.

    In brief - customer is working to achieve both Business - to - Business (B2B). Yes, that can be reached. Note: You will need to have the right set of licenses.

    Note: you mentioned VCS control and the edge of the highway. So, what are the components you have in the network? Control of VCS and VCS Expressway or VCS Expressway-Core and VCS Expressway-edge?

  • VCS-Express and the integration of control VCS

    Hello

    I have the following question on the integration between VCS and VCS Express behind NAT devices.

    Control of VCS in the configuration of the area customer I will use the (Real) Global IP address location > Peer Address or I have to use the private IP address.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It depends on the interface how you have connected on the highway. So if you have two connected interfaces then the internal one is configured with a private address, and that you would use on the control to send traffic to. But to your question, I assume you have a connected only interface so you can use the public ip address for sent traffic of venture capital control.

    Ask if you need more information.

    Hello!
    Could you please help me?

    What should I do to host the presence information of my domain name SIP not on local control of VCS, where points registered endpoint, but VCS control located in the nearby area?

    Disable the server of presence on your own VCS control while allowing the presence on VCS neighbored control server.

    Also make sure that your local SIP domain exists also on VCS neighbored control and that the rules of research between these VCS allow presence SIP traffic pass freely between the two (AnyAlias for example).

  • Change of control, keep the scale of fonts

    Hey,.

    I have a 'mx:Text' with a text control and the width is equal to 350 and height 350. If I double the measure (700 x 700), how can I keep the same space used by the text? You can see that I double the width and height, but if I double the fontSize of the text control will use more lines in comparison with its old width and height.  So, how can I maintain this scale proportionally?

    Thank you

  • Data from Web service to a Web service that keeps the Session control

    Following the example set by Rama cricket in [maintaining Session with JAX - WS | http://weblogs.java.net/blog/ramapulavarthi/archive/2006/06/maintaining_ses.html]; I could create a WebService that keeps the sessions using JAX - WS.

    Now, I want to use this WebService, from control data in an ADF application, but unfortunately, I do not know how to tell from this data control that I want to maintain the session.

    I don't know if I should extend and overwrite the FactoryClass (oracle.adf.model.adapter.DataControlFactoryImpl) or if I have to do with the application definition (oracle.adfinternal.model.adapter.webservice.WSDefinition)

    I'm new to ADF and I understand that it can be simple, I just need an example or documentation to read.

    Thank you

    For the service, you can create a proxy of jax - ws and as mentioned in the document that you cited, activate the session on the client.
    This client class, you can then create a data bean control and use it in your ADF application.

  • Keep the dng or CR2 files when switching from Lightroom and Photoshop.

    From Lightroom and Photoshop, how can I keep the dng or CR2 files. Now it changes the psd and when I return to Lightroom it removes options in the section of Calibration of the camera, so that while I have a choice (Adobe Standard/camera faithful), after returning from Photoshop file I have "Embedded." How can I keep the dng or CR2 files

    Adding to the good advice of Alfred - a raw file cannot be registered as the other files.

    Its only use is the basis for the creation of new files, which must be regular files, such as tiff, psd or jpg.

    When you edit a raw file in Lightroom, it does not change the file, the changes are written to the catalog.

    Optionally, save the changes in the form of metadata (xmp) sidecar files, or in the case of DNG in the file itself.

  • See Express vs VCS Control series & Expressway

    Hello

    I am little bit confused what is the difference between the Expressway series and legacy VCS-C/E.

    If I deploy series Expressway (X8.6) running on the virtual machine as traversal server for ARM, can I use that as same as VCS - C and VCS - E, the installation program.

    By running the MRA, can I also used these local SIP/h.323 recording servers of the endpoints of SX and Jabber Video (Movi)? Can I need separate license to achieve?

    On the two highways are the licenses ordered. Are these already for what I want to achieve, or this is just for the deployment of the ARM?

    LIC-EXP-AN
    LIC-EXP-BASE-K9
    LIC-EXP-E
    LIC-EXP-GW
    LIC-EXP-SERIES

    LIC-EXP-TOUR

    LIC-EXP-RMS

    Thank you

    Sy

    So I need instances of additional and separate VCS to support records the of the SIP/h.323 endpoints. And need additional licenses for the latter as Non-parcours/course would issue licenses, commissioning, FindMe.

    OK, that all of these are specific to the series of VCS, while the freeway series does not have the provisioning and FindMe, it also has a system of license different call where it is a type of single license unlike licenses non-parcours course you have with VCS.  The

    TMS I 'LIC-TMS-PE-25' to activate the user commissioning for Movi so I want to use.

    You must use the VCS-control/Highway if you want to use video telepresence Jabber (aka Movi).

    Series Expressway (centre/periphery) are therefore only for ARM with CUCM deployment?

    Yes, Expressway series was created to provide courses of firewall and external recording to CUCM via Mobile and remote access capability.  It can also provide comments of Jabber, but MRA and Jabber comments cannot be run on the same server.  On another note, the series of VCS can take all the series Expressway, because the latter is simply a subset of the functionality of VCS.

  • Highway VCS cluster

    Hello

    We intend to deploy VCS Cluster consisting of two expressway Expressway.  The two highway will be activated with Dual Interface. Need some clarification regarding the ip and dns address. Here is an example of setting.

    for example

    Highway of VCS A: 192.168.10.2 for the first interface.   192,168.20.2 assigned to the second interface and nattted to 77.100.42.23

    Highway of VCS B: 192.168.10.3 assigned to the first interface. 192.168.20.3 assigned to second iinterface and natted to 77.100.42.24

    name of the cluster: video.exampledomain.com

    FULL domain name: video.exampledomain.com will be be mapped both the public ip address 77.100.42.23 and 77.100.42.24 with the required SRV records.

    When customer movi connect to video, exampledomain.com traffic will be routed to 77.100.42.23 and 77.100.42.24 in "round robin" mode.

    Well confirm the above is the correct way to deployment and what will happen if A vcsexpressway is down. always the first call will fail because the rqurest will be sent to 77.100.42.23 and the second appeal attempt will succeed.

    Krishna.

    Hello Krishna,

    your deployment plan looks good, assuming that 192.168.10.x and 192.168.20.x are different subnets. Please be sure to set up clustering on LAN1 (the interface non-translated) which seems to be part of your plan.

    Concerning the behavior of call when one of the VCS is down, assuming that your SRV records were properly implemented and that the remote caller has good DNS SRV support for its implementation H323 and SIP, the appealing party must switch to VCS work in case of failure of the initial connection to the slaughtered VCS. In any case the result will depend greatly on the conduct of the appellant and his ability to switch to other VCS during his attempt to connect through the slaughtered VCS fails.

    Hope this helps,

    Andreas
