Chapter 5: Maintaining the Scopia Elite
Maintaining the MCU includes tasks like ensuring secure communications, maintaining the hardware
chassis performance, user profiles, backup and restore, license management, and standard
configurations of the device.
This section includes the following maintenance procedures:

Configuring MCU Meeting Types

This section describes how to configure MCU meeting types.
Meeting types (also known as MCU/Media Server services) are meeting templates which
determine the core characteristics of a meeting. For example, they determine if the meeting is
audio only or audio and video, they determine the default video layout, the type of encryption, PIN
protection and many other features. You can invoke a meeting type by dialing its prefix in front of
the meeting ID. Meeting types are created and stored in the Avaya Equinox Media Server, with
additional properties in Equinox Management.
After configuring your MCU meeting types, you download them to Equinox Management, which
can use Equinox Management them to reserve MCU resources, schedule MCU conferences, and
control in-session MCU meetings. If you modify these meeting types later on the MCU, you need
to resync with Equinox Management.
