98 Hardware Description and Reference for Avaya Communication Manager
Avaya Expanded Meet-me Conferencing Server
The Avaya Expanded Meet-me Conferencing Server connects to a Communication Manager
server over the customer’s LAN to provide Expanded Meet-me Conferencing. Expanded
Meet-me Conferencing (EMMC) supports a conference bridge of up to 300 ports. This capacity
is much greater than the limit of a 6-port conference bridge on a Communication Manager
system without EMMC.
Note:
Note: The actual ports available for EMMC are determined by the Communication
Manager license file, which licenses ports in blocks of 50 (50, 100, 150, 200, 250
and 300).The maximum number of parties included in any single conference is
administered with Communication Manager.
All SIP-enabled media servers (S8300, S8500, or S8700-series Media Servers) can use the
EMMC feature of Communication Manager.
All Communication Manager telephones can use EMMC. However, for SIP telephones and SIP
softphone to be able to use EMMC, the Communication Manager configuration also requires
the SIP Enablement Services (SES).
Detailed description
The Expanded Meet-me Conferencing application, which runs on the EMMC Server, requires
that the EMMC Server is connected to a Communication Manager media server. With the
following exception, the EMMC Server hardware is identical to that of the Communication
Manager S8500C Media Server (see S
8500C Media Server (front) on page 55 and S8500C
Media Server (back) on page 56):
● The optional NIC card with 2 additional Ethernet ports is not used with Expanded Meet-me
Conferencing.
The Server Availability Management Processor Board (SAMP) on the EMMC Server is used for
remote maintenance and for remote reboot of the server.
