Accessing the MCU Administrator Interface
The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU Administrator is a web interface that allows you to
configure general MCU settings, monitor MCU operation, create or edit services, manage media
processor units and perform maintenance.
You access the MCU Administrator web interface in the MCU access window by signing in as an
