MRA support for new endpoints
Mobile and Remote Access is being expanded to include the following new endpoints.
The DX Series endpoints are officially supported via MRA if they are running version 10.2.4(99) or later. The Cisco
IP Phone 78/8800 Series endpoints are not yet officially supported via MRA, but they must be running version 10.3.1
or later if you want to preview them with Mobile and Remote Access.

When deploying DX Series or IP Phone 78/8800 Series endpoints to register with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager via Mobile and Remote Access, you need to be aware of the following:

Phone security profile:
If the phone security profile for any of these endpoints has TFTP Encrypted Config
checked, you will not be able to use the endpoint via Mobile and Remote Access. This is because the
MRA solution does not support devices interacting with CAPF (Certificate Authority Proxy Function).

Trust list:
You cannot modify the root CA trust list on these endpoints. Make sure that the VCS Expressway's
server certificate is signed by one of the CAs that the endpoints trust, and that the CA is trusted by the VCS
Control and the VCS Expressway.

Bandwidth restrictions:
The Maximum Session Bit Rate for Video Calls on the default region on Cisco
Unified Communications Manager is 384 kbps by default. The Default call bandwidth on VCS Control is also
384 kbps by default. These settings may be too low to deliver the expected video quality for the DX Series.

(Preview) Multiple Presence Domains / Multiple IM Address Domains via MRA
Jabber 10.6 can be deployed into an infrastructure where users are organized into more than one domain, or into
domains with subdomains. This requires IM and Presence Service 10.0.x (or later).
domains with subdomains. This requires IM and Presence Service 10.0.x (or later).
Limited testing has shown that this feature works via MRA. Hence this feature is in preview with VCS X8.5.1 and
later, pending further testing and full support in a future version of VCS.
later, pending further testing and full support in a future version of VCS.
Note:
This feature is distinct from the multiple deployments feature released in X8.5. That feature is limited to one
domain per deployment, where all IM and Presence Service clusters within a deployment serve a single domain. This
feature is different because it concerns MRA support for all IM and Presence Service clusters within a deployment
serving a common set of one or more Presence domains.

Each new domain impacts the VCS’s performance. We currently recommend that you do not exceed 50 domains.
