The MCUs page shows the MCUs, or media servers, known to the Polycom RealPresence DMA system.
In a superclustered system, this list encompasses all MCUs throughout the supercluster and is the same on
all clusters in the supercluster. It includes:
In a superclustered system, this list encompasses all MCUs throughout the supercluster and is the same on
all clusters in the supercluster. It includes:
● MCUs that are available as a conferencing resource for the Polycom RealPresence DMA system’s
Conference Manager (enabled for conference rooms), but aren’t registered with the Call Server. Up
to 64 MCUs can be enabled for conference rooms (virtual meeting rooms, or VMRs).
● MCUs that are registered with the Polycom RealPresence DMA system’s Call Server as standalone
MCUs and/or ISDN gateways, but aren’t available to the Conference Manager as conferencing
resources.
● MCUs that are both registered with the Call Server and available to the Conference Manager as
conferencing resources.
An MCU can appear in this list either because it registered with the Call Server or because it was manually
added. If the MCU registered itself, it can be used as a standalone MCU. But in order for Conference
Manager to use such an MCU as a conferencing resource, you must edit its entry to enable it for conference
rooms and provide the additional configuration information required.

Manager to use such an MCU as a conferencing resource, you must edit its entry to enable it for conference
rooms and provide the additional configuration information required.
You must organize MCUs configured as conferencing resources into one or more MCU pools (logical
groupings of media servers). Then, you can define one or more MCU pool orders that specify the order of
preference in which MCU pools are used.

Every conference room (VMR) is associated with an MCU pool order. The pool(s) to which an MCU belongs,
and the pool order(s) to which a pool belongs, are used to determine which MCU is used to host a
conference. See

Note: Resource Management Integration and MCU Pools
If you have a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager system that uses the RealPresence DMA
system API to schedule conferences on the RealPresence DMA system’s conferencing resources
(MCU pools), you must create MCU pools and pool orders specifically for the use of the RealPresence
Resource Manager system. The pool orders should be named in such a way that:

Users of that system will understand that they should choose one of those pool orders.
If the RealPresence Resource Manager system is also going to directly schedule conferences on
MCUs that it manages, those MCUs should not be part of the conferencing resources (MCU pools)
available to the RealPresence DMA system.
