TANDBERG MPS
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
Introduction
This Administrator Guide is provided to help
you make the best use of your TANDBERG
MPS, Media Processing System.
The TANDBERG MPS enables sites on IP
(H.323 and SIP), ISDN and High Speed Serial
(V.35/RS449/RS530 w/RS366 support)
to participate in meetings with each other,
and at the same time it offers superior
quality and ease of use in one fully-featured
multipoint control unit, MCU.
The TANDBERG MPS may also include the
optional Gateway functionality.
MPS Models
The TANDBERG MPS can be found in two
models, the MPS 800 a 9U-sized unit, and
the MPS 200 a 3U-sized unit.
The two models differ in the size of the chas-
sis and the number of boards that they can
host. However there are no differences in the
feature set. Therefore in this manual, we will
use the term TANDBERG MPS to refer to both
models, unless a specific situation requires
referring to each model with its own name.
Main Features
IP, ISDN PRI, Leased E1/T1 (G.703) and •
High Speed Serial (V.35/RS449/RS530
w/RS366 support) networks are sup-
ported at call rates of up to 2 Mbps for
each call.
Up to 40 simultaneous conferences with •
the MPS 800, and up to 10 simultaneous
conferences with the MPS 200.
Up to 160 video sites and 48 telephony •
calls with the MPS 800 and up to 40 vid-
eo sites and 32 telephony calls with the
MPS 200 can be supported at the same
time in some configurations, each benefit-
ing from the same superb audio and video
quality. The TANDBERG MPS can also be
used purely as an audio-bridge.
Secure Conference • TF - using standard
based AES 128 and DES encryption. Sup-
port both H.235 v2 and v3 in the same
conference.
Best Impression • TF - Automatic selection
of layout and resolution depending on
number of meeting participants.
Numerous different conference layouts, •
16:9 wide formats and Voice Switched
mode.
Dual Video Stream - support for •
DuoVideo TF , H.239 and BFCP.
DuoVideo • TF /H.239/BFCP - automatically
distributed to conference participants
supporting these protocols. Support for
mix of DuoVideo
TF and the H.239 or BFCP
protocols in same conference. Endpoints
not supporting these protocols will receive
main stream.
Downspeeding • TF - if channels are dropped
during a videoconferencing session, the
connection is automatically re-established
without interruption.
Audio and video transcoding to the best •
quality available.
Secure Access - support SSH, XML/SOAP •
over HTTPS, Web (HTTP) encrypted pass-
word. The Telnet, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS and
SNMP services can be disabled.
Web-interface for system management, •
call management, diagnostics, multi
language and software uploads.
Worldwide compatibility with standards- •
based videoconferencing systems.
Gateway functionality – Embedded gate- •
way with up to 80 Gateway calls on the
MPS 800 and up to 20 Gateway calls on
the MPS 200.
Ad Hoc functionality and Single number •
dial in, with waiting room and dynamic
access and authorization mechanisms.
Possibility to pre-configure up to 500
personal conference and service prefix for
dynamic allocation of personal confer-
ence.
Up to double bandwidth capacity on IP •
only, non encrypted calls.
Support for participant identification in •
video, with localizations support (Chinese,
Traditional Chinese, Thai, Japanese,
Korean and Russian).
Encoding support for High Definition Conti- •
nous Precence resolution.
Optimal Voice Switch - Video switching, •
providing point-to-point quality.
Options
Simplifies scheduling and the use of video
meeting resources through highly automated
functionality:
Management using TANDBERG Manage- •
ment Suite.
Scheduling using TANDBERG Scheduler, •
Microsoft® Outlook®, Microsoft® Office
Communicator® or IBM Lotus Notes®
Ad Hoc conferencing through Microsoft® •
Office Communicator®
TANDBERG MPS Capacity
The TANDBERG MPS 800 can support up to
40 simultaneous conferences •
160 simultaneous video calls •
48 simultaneous telephone calls •
80 simultaneous Gateway calls •
The TANDBERG MPS 200 can support up to
10 simultaneous conferences •
40 simultaneous video calls •
32 simultaneous telephone calls •
20 simultaneous Gateway calls •
TANDBERG MPS Capacity on IP
The maximum bandwidth on IP for each Media Processing
Board is 15360 kbps. With 8 Media Processing Boards
installed in a MPS 800 the maximum bandwidth on IP is
122800 kbps.
Setting Encryption to On will decrease the maximum
bandwidth throughput, but not the total number of ports.
The maximum bandwidth for each of the Media Processing
Boards is 7680 kbps with Encryption set to On in all calls.
TANDBERG MPS Capacity on ISDN
The maximum bandwidth for ISDN for each Media Process-
ing Board is 7680 kbps. With 4 E1/T1 ISDN Interface Card
installed in a MPS 800, and 8 Media Processing Boards
the maximum bandwidth is 61440 kbps.
One V.35 Serial Interface Card could handle maximum
61440 kbps in maximum 32 calls. More V.35 Serial
Interface Card would increase, not the bandwidth capacity,
but the number of possible calls up to a maximum of 128
calls. The Gateway capacity is 7680 kbps per Media.
In a secure conference, there is no support for tele-
phone participants.
To increase the capacity, the MCU can be connected
in a cascade. See
Technical Descriptions > Distrib-
uted MCUs for details.
