About Media Resources for Large Meetings
To ensure that media resources are available for large meetings, the Cisco TelePresence Exchange System provides separate media resource pools for large meetings and regular meetings:
•Large meetings include eight or more endpoints and are scheduled exclusively on media units that are reserved for large meetings.
•Regular meetings (meetings with seven or fewer endpoints) are scheduled exclusively on media units that are not reserved for large meetings.
•The system allocates separate resource pools for each media resource type (Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch, Cisco TelePresence MCU MSE 8510, and Cisco TelePresence Server MSE 8710). For each media resource type that you provision, you will need to reserve units for large meetings.
Caution
To achieve redundancy, you must reserve at least two units (of each resource type) for large meetings and at least two units (of each resource type) for regular meetings.
