Combined solution
Although each type of MCU deployment is discussed separately, it is possible to use the three types
simultaneously, as shown below.
simultaneously, as shown below.
Figure 4: MCU pools in a combined solution
This solution is viable so long as each type of MCU pool has separate MCU resources to use.
Although endpoints registered to Unified CM do not support escalating a call to Multiway, they can be
escalated by an endpoint that supports the mechanism on VCS.
escalated by an endpoint that supports the mechanism on VCS.
Similarly, although endpoints registered to VCS do not support the
“Meet Me” button for rendezvous
conferencing, or the conference button for dynamic escalation, they can attend calls on the Unified CM
conferencing resource. These VCS-registered endpoints can either call the dial in number or be
escalated by an endpoint that supports the mechanism on Unified CM.
