Media Resources

VOSS-4-UC allows for the management of the following media resources in Unified CM:

  • Media Termination Point (MTP)
  • Transcoder
  • Conference Bridge

Note

  • Resources may be added at customer and site level
  • In a multi cluster environment, Unified CM selection can be carried out for each resource.
  • A media resource with a device pool and/or location are usually set up at site level. If however the media resource is created at customer level, consider the configuration of the device pool / location at customer level. The use of defaults available at CUCM level is possible, but a review of these settings may be required. Alternatively, creating a specific device pool / location for the media resource may be a better option.
