Cisco Cisco TelePresence MCU 4510 Installation Guide
Introduction
The Cisco TelePresence MCU (referred to in this document as "MCU") supports several deployment types,
from a single device standalone model to large scale deployments with Cisco TelePresence Video
Communication Server (Cisco VCS) or Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM). This guide
outlines the Cisco recommended deployment models.

Audience
This document is for Partners or Technical Sales who have a good understanding of all the relevant products
and how they work together. As a minimum, you must understand how to install and configure Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server, Cisco TelePresence
Management Suite, and Cisco TelePresence MCU as individual products. It is expected that all the
components of the solution are already installed and on the network, ready for configuration. Therefore, this
document is not a complete installation manual for an end-customer.

n
MCU as a media resource in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM).
n
MCU trunked to Unified CM for rendezvous conferencing.
(A standalone MCU deployment is not considered, because this is not a preferred deployment type.)
Each deployment is covered in a separate section. For example, the “registered to Cisco VCS” scenario
