[cisco-voip] VT Advantage on an MCU

Yes, I was told that a 3511E would be necessary to do continuous
presence, and it was twice the price if I remember correctly.
If I want to do this all without a 3511E, my understanding is that I
will need a h323 gatekeeper. Can someone please drop me a few links
about setting up a gatekeeper? I inherited a vocaltec gk, but don't know
about integrating with CCM. Anyone with advice?
Thanks,
Avidan

Continuous presence with SCCP requires the EMP module regardless of
what IPVC gear you have. For the 3511 you'd need a 3511E. I'm not
on the sales side so I have no idea what the cost difference between
the two would be.
That said I have no idea why a VTA couldn't call into an H.323
conference. As long as CM can route the call (via gatekeeper or
directly to the H.323 gateway) there should be no problem.

I am looking for a video conference solution that will allow me to
get VTA users into my video conferences. A few months back, I tried
out the IPVC 3511 and a few Sony PCS-1's loaded with SCCP. However,
that test was a failure, since the IPVC only showed one site at a
time (based on who was talking). This was entirely unacceptable, and
I was told I would need the 3540 to get the "brady bunch" effect, so
I returned the 3511. Now I am leaning towards the H.323 only video
world. I am reloading all the PCS-1's to H.323 firmware, and
purchasing a sony h323 mcu software upgrade for one of them. Using
this configuration, sony has told me that I will be able to have a 5-
camera conference without a problem, including the grid layout on-
screen. That being said, I know that there is a huge downside to this
setup, none of my VTA users will be able to join, correct? Does
anyone know of a way to get VT advantages to call in to a h323 video
conference hosted by a h323 mcu?
Any advice is truly appreciated.
Thanks,
Avidan
