The cascading hierarchy topology should be deployed according to the following guidelines:
●
If an RMX is deployed on level 1 (recommended deployment):
 Any RMX can be used on level 2, 3 and 4 (recommended deployment),
 MGC version 9.0.4 can be used on level 2 and level 3,
 DST MCS 4000 and other MCUs can be deployed on levels 3 and 4.
●
If an MGC is deployed on level 1:
 MGC or RMX can be used on level 2.
Although participants in MIH Cascading conferences can connect using IP (H.323, SIP) and ISDN, the
MIH Cascading Links must connect via H.323.
