Configuring Ports on All Models of the Scopia Elite MCU

 

 

This section provides instructions of how to configure the following ports and port ranges on
all models of the Scopia Elite MCU:

Defining the UDP Port Ranges for RTP/RTCP on the Scopia Elite MCU

 

 

The Scopia Elite 6000 Series MCU has designated UDP ports 12000-13200 (for video) and
16384-16984 (for audio) for RTP/RTCP.
While the number of ports required for this protocol remain fixed, you can determine the
exact port numbers occupied by the MCU by defining the lower end of the port range, known
as the base port.
The Scopia Elite 6000 Series MCU uses 360 ports for audio and 1080 ports for video .

 

 

Note

You cannot reduce the number of UDP ports occupied by the MCU for RTP/RTCP.
