• No point endpoint name when SX20 Multisite conference

  Hello

  I have install a lab which consist of 2 SX20 and 1 EX60. Using SIP and any call control, trying to conference with capacity multisite SX20 (just call using the [email protected] / * /). But, I noticed there is no display name below each participant in the video. Is this a normal behavior? I configured the name displayed on each endpoint.

  Yes, this is a normal behavior.  The names of the participants will be displayed when you use a microcontroller, and if it is configured to do this.

• What is the best practice? Several MCU Multisite conferences

  Hello

  We currently have two independent sites, each with their own MCU (MCU 8500 and a MCU 4505), several points of endpoint and VCS ExpressWay infrastructure management (TMS). Currently, we are creating a conference in each site that has the MCU on the other site as a participant. It's not ideal because we get several images in the image, especially when you use a format of 7 + 1 split for each MCU.

  What is the ideal way to handle this? The options I can think of are:

  1. Have every endpoint call an MCU instead to use both.
  2. Use a format full screen instead of 7 + 1 split.
  3. Place all the VC infrastructure in to a TMS win something?

  Thank you

  Mark

  Hi Mark.

  1. ask to all the endpoints call an MCU instead to use both.

  This will fix the problem of page layout that you face and you can use all the features of conference as control of floor etc.

  Disadvantage will be the consumption of bandwidth, every EP of another site will consume call bandwidth, if 5 Ep calling another MCU @ 1 mb, then you will need 5 MB for confrance.

  If you have enough bandwidth it will be the right option.

  2 use a format full screen instead of 7 + 1 split.

  Advantage for this config is 1 MB to call far you need to finish MCU form local MCU.

  Disadvantage - layout.

  3. put all the VC infrastructure in the TMS win something?

  Nothing.

• How do the only legitimate of course people get in conference using SX20

  Customer-(I) scenario : customer has the SX20 is registered with CUCM9.x, there is no TP server and no TMS for the planned conference.

  I understand the notion of security conferences, but it would be between the endpoint and server-UC Application:

  1. Security conferences are a way to use the regular Conference to ensure that media for the Conference are secure and cannot be compromised. There are different levels of security a conference may have, as authenticated or encrypted.
  2. Security conferences, devices, and conference resources can be authenticated as secure devices and Media Conference then can be encrypted so that each authenticated participant sends and receives encrypted for this conference media.

  However, as to understand if it is possible at the level of the user as well in asking the user to enter login credentials to enter the Conference call.

  Note, this is not a regular conf call scenario. Its a typical conf Rendezvous:

  Query1: Is there a provision where if someone connects SX20 from the internet (outside of the corporate network), to ensure that legitimate people can enter MultiSite Conference (3 + 1), calling the Party (which connects SX20) must enter the credentials (username & password) for authentication?

  Query2: If the query 1 is not possible using Rendezvous conf, then is is it possible using annex Conference with TP and TMS server or simply by using the server TP?

  Thank you & best regards

  Hi sumit,

  You description of the problem, I think that you need protection by PIN to join the videoconference.

  It is possible with the external MCU, but not with SX 20 in bed MCU.

• MX800 Conferencing Multisite

  Hi all

  Nice day!

  I have new MX800 room system endpoint and it will integrate video conference network (which has its existing server). What are the necessary additional licenses outside the software (ICA-MX800-MS) Multisite Option to support the multisite Conference?

  If existing server is licensed user CUWL available, will always need a multi-party shared permit?

  Kind regards

  Kevin

  The Multisite on the MX license is to enable the bypass on the phone itself - no external MCU. You don't need anything else to make this work. The SMP is for when you have a server of telepresence and conductor, each SMP license allows a conference of any size (limited only by available resources) - If you do not have GST the SMP license and conductor will be useless.

  Hope this helps

• SX20 bandwidth consumption

  Hello

  I want to know the bandwidth consumption when I use it with three other SX10 SX20 Multisite on MPLS (rate set to 512).

  Consumption of bandwidth for SX20 is regardless of the total rate of calls for each endpoint that is connected to the Multisite Conference, while each SX10 will consume only what he call rate is fixed.

• Fluctuation of the camera

  Dear community,

  When I try to contact point to point via my Sx20 its runnig fine but when I add another call both views side start fluctuating, can someone tell me what is the problem? Is there any network issue BW?

  Your prompt response is much appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Hi Syed,

  What is the version of the software on codec, there is bug that matches your problem descreption and difficulty to TC 6.0.1.

  CSCue70860 : problems with concealment in SX20 decoding H.264 multisite Conference.

  Please update to the latest firmware TC 6.1.1 codec.

• API for SX10

  Hi all

  We will check the status of the SX10 using its API, but unfortunately, we do have not any SX10.

  Does anyone know if the parameter below works fine on the SX20 TC7.2?

  (I guess that 'Multisite' may not be used, because the SX10 has no Multisite function)

  xStatus SystemUnit State system

  Shows that the system is in State.

  InCall: The system is in a call.
  Initialization: The system is ready for use.
  Initialization: The system boot.
  Multisite: The system is in a Multisite conference.
  Number of beds: the system is in "sleep".

  Space of the value of the returned result:
  

  Example:
  xStatus SystemUnit State system
  * s SystemUnit State system: initialized
  * end

  Kind regards

  Kotaro

  Hello

  "Initialized" and "InCall" are there at least.

  I don't know if 'Sleeping' will be returned. I have activate standby using the command line interface but xStatus SystemUnit State system still returned "Initialized".

  I've also tested using TC 7.2.1.

• The differences Multisite and Multiway conference

  Hi all

  Can you tell me what are the multi-site and multiway conferences? Also, what are the differences between these conferences?

  Multi-site allows an end point to host a conference using a microcontroller embedded on the endpoint for a limited number of participants, usually not more than 3 depending on the type of endpoint and requires a key Multisite option on the endpoint, which is hosting the Conference, which allows you to use the embedded microcontroller and not every endpoint support the Multisite functionality.

  Multiway allows you to climb a call to a call from point to point-to-multipoint call, endpoints and requires a VCS for climbing and MCU to host the Conference. You can learn more about Multiway of Multiway using Cisco TelePresence systems.

• SX20 FAILURE OF CONFERENCE

  Hello

  I have the (unlicensed multisite) SX20, SX10, DX80 and JABBER for iphone Registred on CUCM and IM & presence,

  I tried to make a video call with Jabber, then I added the second participant DX80 with voice only, but when I try to add the third participant SX10 with voice only to the Conference call has failed.

  You can't, not without the MS license installed.

  The SX20 allows adding an audio call when, in a videoconference to point without the MS license .

  It does not allow two audio calls. So, if you connect to video point, you can add an audio call.

  If you connect to audio point, you cannot add a second audio-only call. It is a hardware limitation, not software.

• C40 Multisite call

  Hi all

  I have to configure multi-site/multiway,

  We have VCSC and MCU.

  and endpoints such as C40, ex90 and MXP1700.

  Ex90 has licence Multisite for C40, but it's not. Able to make P2P calls and then add other EX90 IAM conversation endpoints.

  We have a VCSC and MCU.

  How can I configure multiway help MCU?  I tried to set up an alias in VCS, Conference factory-22228

  and the model [email protected] / * /

  Conference factory State is active. 22228 added as base10 multiway on the c40. My prefix for MCU Conference Service is 8.

  I need to set up a permanent conference in MCU?

  I have to configure Permanent Conference as 22228?

  My SIP domain name is vcs.com

  Rgds

  Bobby

  Hi Bobby,.

  on the check of EX90 you added the multisite key. TC5 version wouldn't hurt.

  Do not use a version

  Some generic endpoint support information:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/Telepresence/infrastructure/articles/cisco_telepresence_mcu_configure_multiway_kb_166.shtml

  You can have multiway or multisite, so if you have already configured the EX90 for multiway

  This will be the reason why you can't add another local call, these features are mutually exclusive.

  If you delete the multiway address it should work again with multisite.

  Cordially conf multisite, check on the

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/Telepresence/infrastructure/VCs/config_guide/Cisco_VCS_Multiway_Deployment_Guide_X7.PDF

  In short you must enable autocreateing of conferences with no PIN number prompt and have a prefix MCU

  recording, editing of your plant in conference setting, do not overlap with other conferences / MSDS

  Not to mention that I recommend the vcs, mcu and endpoint admin guides http://tandberg.com/docs is a good start

  Bobby, please note the answer with the stars below and set the thread if it's an answer!

• A MultiSITE call may be promoted to a MultiWAY call?

  I have a customer who currently has a number of endpoints with multi-site licenses, mainly 6000MXP units.  The client is developed to the point where 6-pin calls are no longer adequate, and they'll have to buy an MCU.

  My question is:

  Can the customer still enjoy the microcontrollers built in codecs 6000MXP and use a MultiSITE call until the participants are too many and then degenerate into a MultiWAY call?

  Will there be a way to migrate the customer to a MCU usage, perhaps by the personal use of alias of bridge?

  Hi Anthony!

  Can the client still take advantage of the built-in MCUs in the 6000MXP codecs, and use a MultiSITE call until such time as the participants are too many, and then escalate to a MultiWAY call?
  

  No, it is not possible to climb a call running Multisite for a call Multiway or MCU (MXP or C series).

  On the endpoints that will be able to launch the Multiway call is an exclusive setting, therefore,

  Select Multisite, Multiway (or completely disable a Multipoint).

  In addition Multiway must be supported by the endpoint, newest Cisco/Tandberg endpoints points support

  initiate a call Multiway and many (incl. 3rd party) support to be reunited to form a Multiway call.

  It is also dependent on the version of the software.

  In short, with Multiway may as end points that do not support being redirected

  for the MCU (for example the outer parts where you don't have conrtol from software versions,...)

  do not be reunited to form the Conference.

  Is there a better way to migrate the client to the use of an MCU, perhaps through the use of personal bridge aliases?
  

  
  Is there a better way to migrate the client to the use of an MCU, perhaps through the use of personal bridge aliases?
  

  To swap the MXP multisite with a microcontroller of HD Cisco (old Codian) is a great idea in any case, it will not focus only

  the capacity of the largest conferences but also improves quality. Each participant will receive its own optimized

  video stream instead of the single video stream where the worst participant defines what you will get.

  As you said, after meeting personal room numbers (with findme or certain rules of vcs, you can also do named uris,

  as [email protected] / * /), generic virtual meeting rooms or to book through TMS/Scheduler

  may be the solution.

• Multisite deployment

  Hello, I need to implement videoconference between sites using multisite (sx10, sx20, dx80 and jabber clients + spa300 ip phone) and I be6ks to this effect, do I need extra MCU in the MRLG or I can use internally sx20 MCU for this and if I use it, it should participate in the Conference in order to make this conference? any help or useful document for this case?

  You can use the internal microcontroller in the SX20, however, it must be in the call that he will host. This means that you can have a maximum of 3 additional sites of the Conference; SX20 + 3 = 4.

  If this is insufficient, Yes, you will need to an MCU, that you are deploying a premise, or use a hosted solution of cloud belongs to you. Depends on the intended use and the economy.

• Cisco VCS and MCU - Conference does not

  Dear community members

  I have problems in the VCS configuration to work with the MCU to join to several endpoints in a conference. The components that I use:

  -Cisco VCS control v8.7.

  -Cisco 5300 MCU 5310 v 4.5 (1.72)

  -3 x SX20 end points

  I recorded every endpoint and MCU on VCS, but I'm not able to do a conference call 3-way, the only option is 1 video and 1 audio (I disabled the Multisite option). It seems that VCS does not yet call the MCU in the game.

  Kindly help us with it.

  Can you tell us how you set up the Conference and how you have configured MCU and endpoints?

  From the sounds of it, you call each end point of one of the SX20s, but you must call simply directly in the Conference on the MCU.  If you want to have a conference point to point between two end points and then degenerate into a multipoint conference on the MCU, you must configure Multiway.

  With the help of Multiway with Cisco TelePresence systems

• Can we do a conference without VCS?

  Hey,.

  can we did a conference multiple endpoint without a goalkeeper by ising only an MCU?

  a microcontroller can act as a guard?

  can I replace a VCS with a CallManager server to act as a guardian?

  Thank you.

  Hi Abderrahmane,

  C20 does not support multisite (embedded MCU).  C60 supports this feature.  So if C60 participates in a conference then you can use it as MCU.  If this isn't the case, then you need an external MCU for your codecs C20.

  HTH,
