Cisco Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Expressway

Configuring the Cisco VCS 

This is where you select the Cisco AM GW zone to use, and decide whether to set up policy rules to 
control which calls can use the Cisco AM GW. 
1.  Go to the Advanced Media Gateway configuration page (VCS configuration > Advanced 

Media Gateway > Configuration). 

 

 

2.  Configure the fields as follows: 

Select the zone that you configured for the Cisco AM GWs 
e.g. “To AM Gateway” 

By default (where Policy mode is Off) all calls to or from OCS are 
sent via the selected Cisco AM GW zone. If you want to limit which 
calls go via the Cisco AM GW, set the Policy mode to On and then 
set up policy rules to deny specific calls based on alias pattern 
matches. 

Off: all OCS calls go via the Cisco AM GW 

On: allows control over which OCS calls go via the Cisco AM GW 

 

3. Click 

Save. 

Note: If the Cisco AM GW reaches its capacity, any calls that would normally route via the Cisco AM 
GW will not fail but will be routed directly. Any calls that are routed directly will not be able to support 
the higher resolutions in MOC.
