[cisco-voip] Device pools and Meet-me conference

[Voll, Scott]

I'm running a CMM with 6 port PRI card and ACT card. 

 

Both run very well now.  The older IOS was pretty buggy but things seem
to be working well now.  I use the ACT card for both conferencing and
transcoding and works great.

How's the stability of the CMM now? I remember when it first came out
there were some 'warnings' out there. We purchased the 6608 blades and
are quite happy with them. They might be better priced than the 6608 for
conferencing resources, but I remember when I costed them for analog
ports, compared to VG248, they were quite a bit more. Anyways, just my
two cents.

	For what it is worth, I am going through a VERY similar issue
right now.  If you have a 6500 series chassis laying around, the CMM
card with ACT daughtercards will give you the best bang for the buck in
transcoding resources.  The 6608 is $25K and only yeilds 32 conference
participants.  The CMM with 1 ACT (it can support up to four) costs $18K
and will support upto 128 conference participants.  Another drag on the
6608 cards is that your switch must be running CatOS.  The CMM supports
CatOS or IOS.

		The default confernce resource that ships with
CallManager is hosted in the IP Voice Media Stream App process on the
CallManager server.  This resource only supports the g711 codec.  If you
wish to host g729 members in conference you must provide g729 conference
resource or transcoders.  There are IOS versions of both available for
smaller scale deployments and modules like the CMM and 6608 for large
deployments.

		Some more information.

		It appears this is related to the Codecs for calling
between regions. When I set all the regions to use the same codecs to
call between themselves, multiple regions/devicepools could join the
same conference.  Is this a technical limitation of the meet-me
conference? Will a bridge solve the problem?

		Thanks,

		For some reason, phones in different device pools cannot
join the same meet-me conference. Whatever device pool the originator is
in, becomes the only device pool from which joining parties can join
(but any outside caller).

		Eg. Phone in device pool LosAngeles starts a meet-me,
only phones in LosAngeles pool can join, and SanFran pool phones get a
busy...

		Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround?

		Thanks,

		Avidan
