Polycom RealPresence 1800 Administration Manual page 394

TIP-enabled endpoints must support TIP Version 7 or higher. Calls from endpoints supporting older versions
of TIP are rejected.
Note: Collaboration Server 1800 Limitation
• Although Cisco legacy endpoints are inter-operable with Collaboration Server (RMX) 1800 with no
DSP cards, the MCU is not supported for integration into third-party and partner environments.
• Collaboration Server (RMX) 1800 Entry Level is not supported in POCN.
Deployment Architectures
The following multipoint topologies are given as examples. Actual deployments will depend on user
requirements and available infrastructure:
● Single company with Polycom and Cisco Infrastructure
 CTS and Polycom Telepresence Rooms in a corporate environment.
● Company to company via Service Provider
 Model 1: Mixed Polycom and Cisco infrastructure at one of the companies, Cisco only
infrastructure at the other.
 Model 2: Polycom only infrastructure at one of the companies, Cisco only infrastructure at the
other.
Single Company Model - Polycom and Cisco
Infrastructure
The deployment architecture in
using SIP shows a company that has a mixture of Polycom and Cisco endpoints, room systems and
telephony equipment that needs to enable multipoint calls between all its video and audio endpoints using
the Collaboration Server as the conference bridge.
As shown in Single company with Polycom and Cisco Infrastructure - Polycom endpoints using
Telepresence endpoints can connect to conferences using the TIP protocol, with Polycom endpoints
connected to the same conferences using SIP protocol.
