QoS is needed to put the media and signaling traffic into the low-
latency queues defined in the LAN Deployment Guide. The QoS 
setting gives the video packets a higher priority over non–real-
time traffic in the data queues.

The Differentiated Service markings match the medianet-recom-
mended settings for interactive video traffic in Cisco SBA. 

Step 8:  

Navigate to 

Network > QoS

, enter the following values under 

Quality of Service IPv4, and then click 

Update QoS settings

:

•  Audio—

100010

 (AF41)

•  Video—

100010

 (AF41)

By default, the system log level is set to level 1. This setting configures Cisco 
MCU to output high-level (easily readable) events in system log and syslog 
messages. The system logs are stored on a Solarwinds server at the IP 
address listed below. Administrators can use the information when trouble-
shooting problems with the device. 

Step 9:  

Navigate to 

Logs > Syslog

.

Step 10:  

In the 

Host address 1

box, enter 

10.4.48.13

 (syslog IP address), 

and then click 

Update syslog settings

.

Procedure 4 

Register MCU with H.323 and SIP

Registering Cisco MCU with the H.323 gatekeeper on Cisco VCS allows 
the MCU to accept a reservationless call that was made using the service 
prefix parameters. This is a simple method for allowing SIP endpoints to dial 
a common phone number and be connected directly into the conference 
bridge without pausing at the Auto Attendant.

You will also register Cisco MCU by using SIP, so it can communicate 
directly with the SIP endpoints without going through the traversal subzone 
on Cisco VCS. 

The gatekeeper registration type is set to MCU (standard) to 
ensure calls to the same conference ID get routed to the correct 
device when additional MCUs are added in the future.

When you use the prefix for MCU registrations and the Cisco 
MCU service prefix, Cisco recommends that you set both prefixes 
to the same number.
