Telepresence MCU - Port vs Adhoc Conferencing booking

Hi all

I was wondering why is the MCU software disabling creation of ad-hoc conferences for unknown, when calls media port reservation is turned on.

Is there a way to run multiway microcontroller, which has the port reservation lit?

Thank you all,

Emre

Hello

You want to know why MCU works this way? It's simple, because this single behavior that makes sense to the concept of "reserve". Consider the following example:

You have scheduled a conference in MCU for tomorrow morning at 10:00. You have a MCU 4510 with 20 available HD ports and selected 18 participants in this conference in particular, and you use reserve port, which means you want MCU to make sure that these ports are available to host this conference. Right. Then in the morning, just before the scheduled conference start, some users start an ad-hoc multipoint meeting using multiway and down 4 video ports of your MCU. Then, when the scheduled conference start, MCU will ports available to host your regular conference, once your users use the resources for purposes of adhoc.

Do you see? Port reservation is a concept where MCU is to ensure that you will have the resources available to the conference in particular, therefore, the only way to achieve this is by totally disabling chartering conferences (ad hoc conferences), so that the MCU will be able to control the entire session and know when its resources will be available or not, either by using MCU to plan or TMS.

In other words, if MCU allowed you to create conferences whenever you want via adhoc, then the concept of reservation is completely broken, you wouldn't have no guarantee that your resources are really reserved.

Therefore, if you have need to be scheduled and ad hoc conferences happening in the same MCU, disable a reservation and manually control your availability of resources. If you must make a reservation from port and at time same adhoc conferences, it is not possible except by placing an other MCU in your environment, you will so use an MCU to scheduling with reserve and another for ad hoc conferences.

I hope this helps.

  • Configuration of the firewall Cisco Telepresence MCU 5320

    Hi all.

    I searched all the documents of the MCU again, but I found nothing on the ports it uses.

    Help me

    HI Sandra.  The 5320 MCU is the same as 4500 MCU.

    Incoming ports
    • FTP - TCP:21 + transient (dynamic rather than fixed) used TCP ports for passive mode
    • HTTP - TCP:80
    • HTTPS - TCP:443
    • H.323 - TCP:1720 + ephemeral TCP ports for incoming calls
    • SNMP - UDP:161
    • Outgoing calls to H.323 involve ephemeral ports TCP connections TCP TCP:1720 and a certain number of ephemeral TCP ports
    • Outgoing SIP TCP calls involve connections between the TCP ephemeral ports and TCP:5060
    • Outgoing SIP TCP calls involve connections between the TCP ephemeral ports and TCP:5061
    • Outgoing interruptions SNMP are sent the ephemeral ports UDP Port 162
    • Media (including audio and video, FECC messages) are ephemeral ports from ephemeral ports UDP.
    • The products acquired Cisco TANDBERG/Codian and gateway series series Cisco TelePresence allocate the ephemeral ports between 49152 to 65535 *. It is possible to change the ports on which these products receive and establish connections. For example, by default the Codian products Cisco acquired listen port 1720 H.323 calls and connections to port 80 web browser, but these can be modified (go to network > Services).

    Keep in mind this MCU does not support the streaming or conference me and have either the GK aboard.  If these ports are listed.

  • Console 3515 MCU Port problem

    There is an old video conferencing MCU 3515, and I can't use the serial port to access him. When I connect the console cable to the serial port 9600/8/No/1/none affecting the Terminal application, there is no answer. I remember that we must use a special cable to access the MCU 3515 serial console. Does anyone have an idea?

    HELLO Cheng.

    You will find the layout of the pins in Tunis:

  • 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.

  • Cisco 4205 MCU and 5320 waterfall or any other alternative?

    Hello

    In your case use MCU 5320 (MCU1) as master and will act as a gateway for the 4205 MCU (MCU2) since no feature of the H323 gateway configuration and no guard integrated for series 5300 MCU.

  • 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 create no MCU conference

    Deployment:

     CUCM 10.5 MCU5310 4.5 Conductor XC3.0.2

    I have a CUCM - conductor - MCU deployment and I am trying to set up the Conference date. I can call from end to bridge conference and point, by a busy year and the conductor I see the following:

    I see on the call history

     B2BUA rejected call on the Ingress with 486 Busy Here (Policy lookup response)

    On Journal MCU and Traces SIP I see nothing new, but on the driver of the Conference Bridge status is fine

     MCU (No description available); TelePresence MCU Enabled, Active. Utilisation: 0%

    No idea what could be the problem? i thing conductor to MCU something isn't good.

    Your question would be more place in the section of telepresence to the forums where these devices are more actively discussed in the conferences section you have posted in.  You can move your discussion by editing your message and change the categories at the bottom.

    It seems that you have either the Conference alias or the defined template to not allow incoming calls create the Conference, which means that only a planning as TMS application can create the Conference using the API of a conductor.

    Check the following in the conductor

    • Conference models > [model] > at the request of conference
    • Conference alias > [aliases] > Conference to create

    Also, sometimes people forget to have encryption enabled on the MCU and configured the MCU for the driver to use port 5061.  Which can also cause the Conference to fail.

  • Tandberg MCU 5300 series supports the Conference me the feature?

    Hi all

    I would like to know that the 5300 Tandberg MCU series supports the Conference me the feature?

    We checked the 5320 MCU data sheet,

    Cisco TelePresence MCU 5320 CTI-5320-MCU-K9

    Comes with: 5320 - MCU and cables - MCU ports must be enabled with optional port licenses

    Software for Cisco TelePresence MCU 5320 license options

    1 nHD full HD/2 HD/4 SD/8 ports on 5320 MCU (max 10 with this option (6 used for nHD)) LIC-5300-4PL

    Second option Ethernet port (VFO) for the MCU 5320 LIC-5300-VFO

    AES and HTTPS option for the MCU 5320 LIC-AESMCU53-K9

    However, there is no information related to Conference me function.

    So, can we know everything that Tandberg MCU 5300 series supports the Conference me the feature?

  • Video loading on 5310 MCU (via XML - RPC)

    Hello.

    I am trying to create a script for Nagios monitoring monitor the use of the video ports on my 5310 MCU (software version 4.4).

    I found an example of a perl using RPC::XML scipt and it works quiet well except for one thing: I have no video support.

    I used the "device.health.query" method, which should include a member named "videoLoad" (an allusion to Cisco TelePresence MCU API 2.10 Guide).

    I get a correct result of this method, but there are some missing members.

    Here is the result:

    rtcBatteryStatus

    Ok

    operationalStatus

    assets

    voltagesStatusWorst

    Ok

    fanStatusWorst

    Ok

    temperatureStatusWorst

    Ok

    temperatureStatus

    Ok

    mediaLoad

    1

    voltagesStatus

    Ok

    fanStatus

    Ok

    cpuLoad

    0

    rtcBatteryStatusWorst

    Ok

    There is no «videoLoad» Member

    Is that what I got wrong, or do I have to activate something on the MCU?

    Is there another way to get the load of the video of the MCU (such as SNMP or sth)?

    Kind regards

    Sven Lindeke

    HELLO Sven.  Thus, it seems that the platform of the 5300 series will not return these values as the old platforms.  VideoLoad and audioLoad return values have been deleted because they were reporting incorrect information from this platform works mixed audio and video DSP unlike older models of MCU.

    The only options I see here:

    (1) run a script to extract the status data > conferences page.
    (2) to invest in the conductor and request a conductor for audio and video ports in use.
    (3) account team push to drive above CDETS for call API to draw the status information > conferences page.
    (4) put in place a script to subscribe to and then listen to the events of feedback - see page 18 of the http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/infrastructure/mcu/api_guide/MCU_API_2-10.pdf
