MCU Pool Orders

70
The MCU Pool Orders list shows the MCU pool orders that are defined in the
Polycom DMA system. A pool order contains one or more MCU pools and
specifies the order of preference in which the pools are used.
Note
MCU pools were called MCU zones in earlier versions of the Polycom DMA system.
The name was changed to avoid confusion with the concept of gatekeeper zones.
Enterprise groups can be associated with an MCU pool order. This lets you, for
instance, ensure that all users in a specific domain are preferentially routed to
conferencing resources in their geographic location. See
Procedures" on page 148.
A custom conference room can also be associated with a pool order. This lets
you, for instance, ensure that this conference room is preferentially routed to
conferencing resources with certain capabilities. See
Procedures" on page 143.
The Polycom DMA system chooses an MCU for a user by applying the
following rules in order:
Select the MCU pool order:
1
Use the pool order directly assigned to the user's conference room.
a
If none, use the highest priority pool order associated with any group
b
to which the user belongs.
If none, use the system default.
c
Select the first MCU pool in the MCU pool order.
2
Select the best MCU in the MCU pool, based on how well their
3
capabilities fulfill the user's needs in the following respects:
— MCU has RMX profile required by user's conference template.
— MCU has IVR service required by user's conference template.
— MCU has recording capability required by user's conference template.
If there are multiple MCUs that are equally capable, select the least used.
If no MCUs in the selected MCU pool have capacity, select the next MCU
4
pool in the pool order and return to step 3.
If no MCUs are available in any of the MCU pools:
5
— If fallback is enabled, select the best MCU available to the Polycom
DMA system, based on the system's capability algorithm.
— If fallback is not enabled, reject the call.
The following table describes the fields in the list.
