"The IP/VC 3511 can be configured to run in either SCCP mode or H.323 mode,
while the IP/VC 3540 model can be configured to run both protocols
simultaneously and divide the total number of available MP resources between
the two."

from:
http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/netsol/ns268/c649/ccmigration_09186a00804ff6ba.pdf

This is important if you are using tandberg, VTA, or the 7985 video phone in
conjunction with Polycom or other H.323 endpoints.
