• Utilizing the connection abilities of different MCUs, for example,
different communication protocols, such as, serial connections, ISDN,
etc.
• Significant call cost savings to be realized by having participants call
local MCUs which in turn call remote MCUs, long distance.
Although participants in MIH Cascading conferences can connect using H.323,
SIP and ISDN, the MIH Cascading Links must connect via H.323.
The cascading hierarchy topology can extend to four levels (Figure 3-3)
and should be deployed according to the following guidelines:
• If an RMX is deployed on level 1:
— Any RMX can be used on level 2, MGC version 9.0.4 can be used
on level 2 and DST MCS 4000 and other MCUs can be deployed
on levels 3 and 4.
• If an MGC is deployed on level 1:
— MGC or RMX can be used on level 2, and DST MCS 4000 and
other MCUs can be deployed on levels 3 and 4.
• DST MCS 4000 MCUs connect as endpoints to the RMXs or MGCs on
higher levels.
