Question of MCU 4505

Dear,

Can someone explain me that MCU4505 a VCS need to work, or it can work alone without the need of VCS?

I bought a 4505 MCU with 38 EX60 and PC20 4, so I need it a VCS until my work of video conference, in total I need is maximum 10 sessions lecture at the same time.

Please help me solve the problem.

Kind regards

short answer is no, you do not need a VCS to conferences with the MCU. They can direct calls in MCU and set up a new conference or enter a pre-existing.

  • Software update of MCU 4505

    To get back into the mix of things with our telepresence equipment and we have a MCU which is on an older version of software.  After downloading the new software MCU 4.5, I do just that if I update I will not lose one of my features enabled.  Our current version is 4.2 (1.46) version of software.  We have the following features enabled:

    1. Encryption
    2. Web conferences
    3. Activation of MCU 4505
    4. key feature of capacity 1080 p upgrade

    Looking at the docs online, doesn't look like I need anything that either step upgrade.  Already upgrades for my C40s since these option buttons do not disappear when you upgrade to a newer version, but was not sure of the MCU.  Any ideas would be great.

    Hi, Brandon

    Options keys do not disappear.

    Your current options keys remain valid with the new MCU software.

  • Codian MCU 4505 content encryption is not possible

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with MCU 4505:

    If I put the SIP trunk to the Codian MCU (to route calls with a specific prefix) for the MCU to TLS instead of TCP, the content channel could not be seen on other participants. I see in the statistics of participants, that the content string is sent from one endpoint to the MCU, but not received from the other particpiants. In the view of the Conference, I saw the following message:

    TX of content: encryption is not possible

    I checked the docs, but the description of this cause is not really free explaining:

    The MCU is unable to send the encrypted video content to this participant.

    If I put the trunk for TCP, no encryption is used and the sharing prentation works as expected. Basically, the encrpytion works fine, because the audio and video channels are received and sent as expected.

    No matter who else knows this problem or ideas how to solve this problem?

    BTW: Versions of software:

    MCU 4505 4.3 (1.68)

  • Allowing endpoints make multi-point on Cisco 4505 MCU calls

    Hello

    I have a Cisco 4505 MCU and several endpoints.  Is there a way to allow that my end point called multipoint adhoc using MCU 4505?  For example, I would say that dial site1 using mcu, then dial site2 help mcu or call a group (site 1 and site1...) using mcu and it would know that it is supposed to use the 4505.

    Thank you

    Ravi

    Of course, you can configure (a few 100) static, meeting rooms, auto create conferences on the fly, based on a model or have the means put in place and there is even an on screen menu allows users to create or join conferences.

  • CUCM (Cisco Jabber) - VCS - MCU (failed appeal of SIP - SIP)

    Hi all

    in our Videoinfrastructure, there is a little problem with cisco jabber client registry on the CUCM to our MCU.

    The MCU is inscribed on the VCS.

    If I make a call my Client of Jabber Cisco SIP call has failed. I call the number 4925488XXX. The callingparty is the 25203232.

    In the CUCM, there is a Routepattern who translated the «Called Party Number» number = 8099 (this is the SIP Trunk for VCS).

    Called Party Transformations:

    Called mask = 8XXX

    Take the numbers Instruction = None

    Prefix =

    Called number = 8099

    In venture capital, there is a transformation for the 8099 dialed.

    The MCU is registerd with [email protected] / * / on the VCS - it's self attandant.

    In the Cisco Jabber client I never receive video or audio of the MCU AA - it looks like the call's not connect.

    If I spent a glance in the VCS, I see the appeal as active and connected.

    Also, I traced the call made by the VCS in debug mode.

    Stefan

    Hi Stefan.  I would probably run a Trace SDI on the CUCM as well.  Seems the cancel is coming from CUCM side and end the call.  To check that your possibly fall on: CSCty07061, I could run the trace of the SDI and see after reception of 180 ringing of venture capital if he tries to do a DNS query for @mcu.

    The entries may look like:

    | 1.3508793, 63, 100, 2 ^ 10.52.36.15 ^ *.

    11:20:09.377 | / / SIP/SIPDns (2,72,1) / wait_SdlDnsSrvRecordRsp: received specified SdlDnsSrvRecordRsp is - 1. 0, 0, 0, 0.0 ^ * ^ *

    11:20:09.377 | / / SIP/SIPDns (2,72,1) / wait_SdlDnsSrvRecordRsp: hostname (DNS A or AAAA query called a query SRV Fail) = mcu

    --------------

    If that's what your race, false address to solve the @mcu would be required for the call to go forward.  I have this based off the coast an explanation here, but cannot actually ensure that it's what your run in.  But check the trace of the SDI AFTER the 180 ringing and see.

    I hope this helps.

  • Join the public network through the firewall option MCU Conference

    Hello world! Lately, we have a goal to jabber (without vpn) of internet users to join conferences within our network. Our telepresence infrastructure includes VCS, MCUS and endpoints (MX, SX). I discovered that MCU (4505) has a feature called video firewall option (under license). My question is whether it will be sufficient to achieve our goal? I've also heard that VCS expressway is used. What is the difference between these two?

    Firewall MCU option just the second NETWORK card, so you can have one with a public IP address and the second with a private IP address (essentially NAT'ed), and the internal and external clients will be connecting to a virtual meeting room common pre-configured on the MCU.

    The VCS-E (Expressway) works in tandem with your VCS - C to offer secure firewall courses. VCS - C is located on the inside of you firewall and the VCS-E is normally in the demilitarized zone.

    This allows, among other things, external systems to call your systems using H.323 and SIP URI dial, this includes clients of JabberVideo, but not Jabber client CPU.

    For Jabber clients you would deploy normally expressway-e series, see http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/unified-communications/expressway-series/datasheet-c78-730478.html and http://ciscocollab.wordpress.com/2014/01/29/deploying-collaboration-edge/ - whether it will work with your existing deployment is another story, you might be better off ultimately to something similar to Pexip or Acano - both were developed by former TANDBERG/Codian/Cisco engineers.

  • Cisco TelePresence MCU disconnects a session IP

    Now I have a MCU 4220, two VCS (neighbouring) and a version endpoint MXP 95. MCU is 4.3, and the version of VCS is X5.2.MCU are recorded in a vcs and 95 MXP is recorded in other vcs. Two VCS are nearby. Now MCU makes a call with MXP 95, but after a minute or so, MCU drops the call. I tried several times, and the situation is the same. The message to MCU I founded is "h.245 network connection error". I checked the network, everything is OK. I took an another MCU 4505 to test. Nothing wrong happene and the call can work well.

    Please give me some advice.

    Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Two mcu 4205 cluster?

    Two mcu 4205 (4.4) with the same software both have 12 media port, now I have to make them work together as an mcu and 12 multimedia ports, have also the active guard and can be composed of devices or conferences by identification number, also I need if one of them is toward the bottom of the can function as main mcu and conferences continue

    How can I get there?

    Grouping/stacking of the MCU is not supported for 4200 series or 4500 to two MCU operate together as one.

    Clustering/stacking is supported only for the 5300 MCU series. You can only cluster/stack two units of the MCU.

    The idea of clustering/stacking the MCU is to increase capacity. The cluster will provide the sum of the capacities of the individual units. For example, if group you two microcontrollers that each supports 10 ports x 1080 p you supported a cluster which takes 20 ports x 1080 p.

    Optionally you can mount your two cascading 4205 microcontrollers:

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/conferencing/Telepresence-MCU-4505/118763-config-MCU-00.html

    Another solution is that you need a Cisco conductor who works with VCS/CUCM.

    Take a look at these links for more information about deploying Cisco conductor:

  • Conductor XC2.2 and TMS 14.3 automatic connects

    Hello

    I've also seen a topic on current versions of beta XC2.2 conductor and TMS 14.3, so I'll post my question here.

    I use the conductor with VCS, CUCM, MCU 4505 and TS. I am able to create ad hoc via CUCM and VCS and regular calls through TMS conferences.

    If I create a conference with automatic connect and the conductor in the call I can see that the MCU or TS tries to achieve a participant, but not with the URI. To use my email address (findme ID) to call me, but instead, it uses strange URI identifiers: [email protected]/ * /: 5073

    1.1.1.1 is the IP address of the driver. On the front part @ I do not know where it comes from, but it looks like an internal identifier.

    These are the logs of the MCU for a test with a participant conference to be connected automatically:

    Unfortunatetly newspapers are in German, but I think you can see that there are a few strange added URI.

    If I create a conference without a conductor the log shows the URI:

    1.1.1.1 is the IP of the conductor (of course not the real IP ;-))

    Someone at - test the latest versions as expirenced this question?

    Hi Paul,.

    You use the conductor and VCS B2BUA deployment? If so, this behavior is correct. MCU must not call endpoint directly, MCU must compose a unique URI of the driver, something like [email protected]/ * /, so Condcutor will take this URI and route the call to VCS replacing this strange URI of the right destination SIP URI according to what you have planned.

    But to make it work, MCU must not be registered for VCS, MCU should only be integrated with driver, without registration, SIP and H323 for VCS.

    Can you confirm what type of deployment you have? What integration between your MCU and conductor?

  • The IP address private VC directly to the public IP address

    Hello

    I'm a bit puzzled as to why a specific call, I saw worked for a couple of guests and wonder if there was no change in the situation in the H.323 protocol that allows a form any NAT crossing built natively into the codec without involving and external gateway function.

    the reason I ask is the following

    I got a call from a customer with a codec on a private no routable IP to my system that is located on a public IP address, the client had no details of NAT configuration in the endpoint and was able to call my system directly without issue by calling directly to my public IP address.

    historically now if I had a system on a private IP address was sitting behind a NAT, I expect that the public system IP would see no routable IP address of the H.225 message and try to answer the private IP RTP media that would not go through, it does not seem to occur.

    the call that I have lived seemed ends without problem, media flowed in both directions.

    My endpoint is a Cisco edge 85 on the version of the firmware F9.x

    the other codec parts is an 85 edge on the version of the firmware F9.x

    My codec is on a public IP address that is completely open to the H.323 ports

    the other codec parts is on a private IP address.

    while I can't call the other party, the other party may call for me, and I wonder how it worked, taking into account the fact that there is no gateway service aware H.323 in the call, either a VCS or aware firewall H.323.

    Experience, firewalls and other gateways outside of Cisco, Tandberg, Polycom, have struggled to deal with the new H.323 version, again this is why I'm puzzled as to why the call worked.

    I did a bit of reading on the new version of H.323 and noticed the option multiplex logical channel, however on a call where I saw this apparently works again of a life-size codec for a Codian MCU 4505 shows no sign of this logical channel multiplex, unless that is named differently in the newspapers that the ITU document calls the function.

    greatly appreciated all all all the answers, I don't understand exactly how the firewall impact VC calls.

    Thinking with portals

    The MXP has NAT builtin functions. Please take a look at the guide admin 9.x:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/Telepresence/endpoint/MXP-series/F9/administration_guide/mxp_series_administrator_guide_f90_excl-full-menu-structure.PDF

    vcse - 5 traversal calls

    If I register the mcu and the endpoint to the VCSC as the guardian h323.

    I should have a 15 (5 calls traveral and 10 calls non-traversal) sites h323 conference call simultaneously on the MCU?

    GK embarked on telepresence ISDN Gateway has no limitation for the number of concurrent calls.

    Limitation is only for the registration number.

    As gateway ISDN support audio connection gateway exclusively, with simultaneous simple T1 (T1 = 24 b, PRI = 23 b = D), maximum number of calls is superior to '18' as audio call consume only 1 b-channel.
