Viewing Registered Multipoint Processors

The term "Multipoint Processors" (MPs) refers to MCUs and EMPs.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Click Network Tree in the sidebar menu.

Step 2 Select the MCU you require in the tree.

Step 3 Click Registered MPs to view the list of MPs currently registered with the MCU.

Table 21-1 describes the information displayed on the Registered MPs tab.

Table 21-1 Registered MPs Tab Parameters 

Parameter	Description
Type	Displays the type of MP unit registered with the current MCU. MP unit types supported include:
MP	The local MP component of the current MCU or an MCU operating in MP Only mode. Performs basic media processing such as audio transcoding, video processing and video switching.
EMP	Unit performing advanced media processing such as video processing and video switching.
Address	Address of the MP unit. This might be the same as the current MCU if the MP is the media processing component of the current unit.
Description	Version number and type.
