• In the "Exchange Certificates" section, added information about the Subject Alternative Name(s) field and added the following note in the Before You Begin section: "For security reasons, we recommend that you use a CA signed certificate on your Video Mesh nodes instead of the node's default self-signed certificate."

• Added short video address routing configuration to the following sections:

  • Configure Unified CM TCP SIP Traffic Routing for Webex Video Mesh

  • Configure Expressway TCP SIP Traffic Routing for Video Mesh

• Updated the description of the 1080p Control Hub setting to clarify that this setting affects call capacity and only applies to on-premises SIP registered devices. See Enable 1080p High-Definition Video for On-Premises SIP Devices in Webex Video Mesh Node Meetings for more information.

September 26, 2019

• Added new section Configure Network Settings From Webex Video Mesh Node Web Interface.

• Fixed the description if the Resource Utilization report. It now states: "Average resource utilization for the media microservices used in the Video Mesh clusters."

• Added a note to the capacity section: "Overflows on low call volume (especially SIP calls that originate on-premises) are not a true reflection of scale. Video Mesh analytics (under Control Hub > Resources > Call Activity) indicate the call legs that originate on-premises; they do no specify the call streams that came in through the cascade to the Video Mesh node for media processing. As remote participant numbers increase in a meeting, the resulting cascade increases and consumes on-premises media resources on the Video Mesh node."

September 13, 2019

December 5, 2018

• In Configure Expressway TCP SIP Traffic Routing for Video Mesh, fixed the pattern string that is required for CMR-Hybrid to be exempt from routing to the Video Mesh node (((\d{9})|(^XX.{22,25}))@YourSite\.webex\.com.*).

• In the same section, added more context about CMR-Hybrid:

  "CMR-Hybrid uses a cascade between the on-premises TelePresence Server/MCU to Webex. The URI of the cascade represents the telephony domain site and the meeting that the cascade is for. The first two digits identify which telephony domain the call routes to, and the rest is the unique identifier for the meeting. These URIs are always 22-25 characters."
