Maintenance Manual

TCP streaming
viewers
The number of streaming sessions out of the Active streaming viewers value shown above
which are using TCP media transport rather than UDP.
ConferenceMe
users
connected
The number of users currently connected to a conference using the ConferenceMe software
endpoint. To change the number of allowed ConferenceMe participants, go to Settings >
Streaming.
See Configuring ConferenceMe settings.
Streaming and
content ports
in use
This value is shown if the model of MCU provides content channel and streaming ports (refer to
MCU port matrix) and shows the total number of streaming and content ports in use across the
currently active conferences.
Video ports in
use
This value is shown if the MCU is not operating in Port reservation mode, and shows the number
of video ports in use. It also shows a maximum number, which is affected by the media port mode
and by whether the MCU is in a cluster, and, on MCU 5300 units and MCU MSE 8510 blades, by
how many media port licences have been assigned.
This number corresponds to the number of connected participants that are either sending or
receiving video. Each conference in which streaming is active consumes one video port for the
stream.
See the port matrix for more details.
Audio-only
ports in use
This value is shown if the MCU is not operating in Port reservation mode, and shows the number
of audio-only ports in use. This corresponds to the number of connected participants that are
contributing or being sent audio but not video.
There is also a maximum number, which is affected by the media port mode and by whether the
MCU is in a cluster, and, on MCU 5300 units and MCU MSE 8510 blades, by how many media port
licences have been assigned.
Reserved
video ports
This value is shown if the MCU is operating in Port reservation mode, and shows the total number
of video ports reserved across the currently active conferences.
Note that each conference for which streaming is enabled requires use of a video port or a
streaming and content channel port (refer to MCU port matrix). Where streaming and content
channel ports are provided, streaming viewers and conferences' content channel video
allocations will use the streaming and content channel ports rather than the available video ports;
where streaming and content channel ports are not provided, streaming viewers and content
channel allocations will use available video ports.
If a streaming and content channel port or a video port is unavailable (or not allocated in advance
when the MCU is in Reserved mode), it will not be possible to stream that conference. If a video
port has been allocated for streaming a conference, any number of streaming viewers will be able
to view that conference via streaming, at any combination of available bit rates. These streaming
allocations are included in the total displayed.
Reserved
audio-only
ports
This value is shown if the MCU is operating in Port reservation mode, and shows the total number
of audio-only ports reserved across the currently active conferences.
Reserved
streaming and
content ports
This value is shown if the model of MCU provides content channel and streaming ports and which
are operating in Port reservation mode. For more information about the ports your MCU provides,
refer to MCU port matrix.
This value shows the total number of streaming and content ports reserved across the currently
active conferences.
