ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
Cascaded MPS
The TANDBERG MPS supports two-level cascading, so the
TANDBERG MPS can be cascaded with other TANDBERG MPSs
to increase the number of participants in one conference.
By simply dialling from one TANDBERG MPS to other TANDBERG
MPSs one will achieve a distributed setup.
In this case the TANDBERG MPS dialling out will be defined as
the master MCU and all other MCUs as slaves.
The connection between the MCUs (or the Endpoints) can be IP,
ISDN or V.35.
The slave MCUs will automatically be set to Voice
Switched while the master MCU may be set to one of the
CP layouts or kept in Voice Switched mode.
A distributed MCU scenario may add delays to the switch-
ing of conference.
