EMCC Groups#

Overview#

An Extension Mobility Cross Cluster (EMCC) group is a collection of clusters and countries that essentially forms an ‘EMCC Cloud’, which determines the specific clusters between which a user can roam.

Note

A cluster can only be included in one group.

EMCC groups typically cater for situations where all the clusters are in different countries, and are managed by the same platform instance. To support multiple clusters in the same country, you need to refine the geolocations and geolocation filters to uniquely identify the clusters in the default provisioning of country. This is supported by using the home cluster setup for each of the clusters in the group.

The EMCC Group screen allows a provider administrator to add or remove clusters and countries to or from an EMCC group, or to modify/delete an existing EMCC Group.

Add an EMCC Group#

When adding an EMCC Group, the cluster the user is on when taking this action is automatically selected/included in the new group.

  1. Log in as Provider administrator or higher.

  2. Choose Customer Management > EMCC > EMCC Group.

  3. Click Add.

  4. Choose the required customer from the Hierarchy drop-down list.

  5. On the EMCC Group screen, enter the mandatory EMCC Group Name in the Name field.

  6. Choose the required CUCM Clusters and Countries to include in the EMCC Group by selecting single or multiple entries in the Available areas of the screen, and then clicking Select to move them to the Selected area of the screen. Use the Remove, Move Up and Move Down buttons as required to assist in creating the EMCC Group. An EMCC Group must contain a minimum of two clusters.

  7. Ensure that the required CUCM Clusters and Countries are listed in the CUCM Clusters and Countries areas of the screen respectively.
