Table 1: Differences between TelePresence Server platforms
* Remotely managed mode is the only mode of operation of the TelePresence Server on these platforms,
hence they have no concept of the difference between these modes and there is no mention of operation
mode in the user interface.
Running identical software on the units in a cluster is an absolute requirement for clustering but mixed
hardware is possible to a limited extent. For example, an MCUMSE8510 running TelePresence Server
software can be clustered with a TelePresence Server MSE8710, provided they have identical
TelePresence Server software versions. Similarly, a TelePresence Server on Media 310 can be clustered
with TelePresence Server running on an MCU5320.
When TelePresence Server software is running on MCU hardware, it is possible to allocate screen licenses
to the application but TelePresence Server screen licenses are not interchangeable with MCU media port
licenses. See the software replacement documentation for more details, including how to use MCU capacity
to provide capacity for the TelePresence Server application.
