Operation Modes - Cisco TelePresence 7010 Help Manual

the blades in the cluster.
When licensing a cluster of TelePresence Servers on Media 310/320 platforms, we recommend that you apply a license key to each unit. In practice, the master will
control all the licenses even if the slave is down; however, if you want to separate the units in future, or if one fails catastrophically, then you will have independent
licensing to cover the units after the cluster is split.

Operation modes

There are two modes of operation for the TelePresence Server 7010 and MSE 8710: remotely managed mode and locally managed mode. The operation mode affects how
the screen licenses translate into capacity to host concurrent calls.
Note: The TelePresence Server on Media 310/320 and Cisco TelePresence Server on Virtual Machine do not support locally managed mode; on these platforms, the
TelePresence Server must be managed by a system like Cisco TelePresence Conductor or Cisco TelePresence Exchange System.
The information presented for remotely managed mode is relevant to the Media 310/320 and Virtual Machine platforms, even though their software has no concept of
locally / remotely managed mode.
Locally managed mode (7010 and MSE 8710 only)
Each screen license translates to a fixed number of calls between the TelePresence Server and endpoints. This can be one call or two calls per screen license, depending
on the HD mode:
A license in 'Full HD' mode allows one call up to 1080p30 or 720p60 video, with associated audio and content channels
n
A license in 'HD' mode allows two calls up to 720p30 or w448p60 video, with associated audio and content channels.
n
For example, a TelePresence Server 7010 in locally managed mode with 6 screen licenses can host a maximum of 6 calls up to 1080p30, or a maximum of 12 calls up to
720p30.
Each TelePresence Server unit has a limited number of video ports, audio-only ports and content ports. Each video port is allocated a corresponding content port
regardless of whether content is used.
The concurrent call limits tables below detail how these ports are allocated for the two HD modes available for TelePresence Servers in locally managed mode.
Remotely managed mode (all models)
In remotely managed mode, the screen licenses are allocated to calls in a more granular way. Each screen license unlocks enough capacity for one full HD call (as in
locally managed mode) or for a number of lower-resource calls.
For example, a single screen license provides enough capacity for one 1080p30 call, or eight 360p30 calls, or one 720p30 call and four 360p30 calls.
