Configuring the Unit
6-14
Configuring a Distributed MCU-323
When configured as a Distributed MCU-323, the MCU-323 can transfer calls to additional
MCU-323 units configured as Dedicated MPs. The Distributed MCU-323 and units defined
as Dedicated MP function together as one MCU-323. This increases the total number of
calls and conferences that can take place simultaneously. A Distributed MCU-323 cannot
run the built-in Gatekeeper, and an external gatekeeper must be used to administer the
H.323 network.
Most of the configuration of a Distributed MCU-323 is identical to that of a Single Station
MCU-323. You will also have to:
"
Create a list of associated MPs for the Distributed MCU-323 using the MP Definition
Table.
"
Link a service to a particular MP, giving it priority over other MPs when a call request
for this service reaches the Distributed MCU-323.
Identification Information
The Unit Identifications screen displays basic identification information for the MCU-323.
All parameters except for Location are read-only. The system administrator can use the
Location parameter for mapping the unit on a network. The following are the available
Identification Information parameters. See Figure 6-1 for an example of the screen:
Unit’s Name — Displays the unit’s logical name.
Location (text box) — Type a description of the unit physical location in the provided text
box.
Contact — Displays the name and/or number of the person to contact for assistance.
Description — Displays a description of the unit.
Date/Time (button) — Displays the Date/Time Settings screen for adjusting the call time.
Date/Time Settings
Refer to Figure 6-2 for an example of the Date/Time Settings screen.
The Date/Time Settings screen displays the local time and date, and allows you to set the
time and date displayed for a remote unit located in a different international time–zone,
according to the
Time Difference you enter.
Local Date/Time (read only) — States current time and date at your site in US time format.
Time Difference — Allows you to enter a time interval between the local unit and a remote
endpoint in 1/2 hour units, for a maximum difference of plus or minus 23.5 hours.
