Maximum Administered Ad-hoc Video Conferencing Ports. The maximum number of
Ad-hoc video conferencing ports allowed is the number of video ports available for Ad-hoc use
on the MCU(s). For example, if you have three MCUs, and each MCU has 16 ports available for
Ad-hoc use, the maximum number of Ad-hoc video conferencing ports allowed is 48.
In this example, the system can have:
● a maximum of 40 video-enabled Avaya IP Softphones. Currently, 13 video-capable
Avaya IP Softphones are being used.
● a maximum of 217 administered Ad-hoc video conferencing ports. Currently, 100 Ad-hoc
video conferencing ports are being used.
