of TIP will be rejected.

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
Version 8.1.1, Cisco Telepresence endpoints could connect to conferences using the TIP protocol, Polycom
endpoints connected to the same conferences using SIP protocol.
