Table 25-1 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 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 may be the same as the current MCU if the MP is the media processing component of the current unit.
Description	Version number and type.
