Displaying conference status

The number of conferences that are currently configured on the MCU.

The number of auto attendants that are currently in use.  If you dial in with an endpoint to the auto attendant, this will go up by one.  It does not reflect the number of configured auto attendants.

The number of conferences that were once active but are now not.

The total number of calls into an auto attendant, excluding any in progress. If you call an auto attendant and enter into a conference or hang up the call, this number increases by one.

The number of people currently in conferences.

The number of people who were previously participating in a conference (since the last time the MCU restarted).

The number of people currently watching conferences via a streaming application, such as Apple QuickTime or RealPlayer.

The number of streaming sessions out of the Active streaming viewers value shown above which are using TCP media transport rather than UDP.

The number of users currently connected to a conference using the TANDBERG ConferenceMe software endpoint. To change the number of allowed ConferenceMe participants, go to Settings > Streaming.

See Configuring ConferenceMe settings.

This value is shown if the MCU is not operating in Port reservation mode, and shows the number of video ports in use. This corresponds to the number of connected participants that are either contributing or being sent video, plus the number of conferences for which streaming is active.

This value is shown if the MCU is not operating in Port reservation mode, and shows the number of audio-only ports in use. This corresponds to the number of connected participants that are contributing or being sent audio but not video.

This value is shown if the model of MCU provides content channel and streaming ports (refer to MCU port matrix) and shows the total number of streaming and content ports in use across the currently active conferences.

This value is shown if the MCU is operating in Port reservation mode, and shows the total number of video ports reserved across the currently active conferences.

Note that each conference for which streaming is enabled requires use of a video port or a streaming and content channel port (refer to MCU port matrix. Where streaming and content channel ports are provided, streaming viewers and conferences' content channel video allocations will use the streaming and content channel ports rather than the available video ports; where streaming and content channel ports are not provided, streaming viewers and content channel allocations will use available video ports.

If a streaming and content channel port or a video port is unavailable (or not allocated in advance when the MCU is in Reserved mode), it will not be possible to stream that conference. If a video port has been allocated for streaming a conference, any number of streaming viewers will be able to view that conference via streaming, at any combination of available bit rates. These streaming allocations are included in the total displayed.

This value is shown if the MCU is operating in Port reservation mode, and shows the total number of audio-only ports reserved across the currently active conferences.

This value is shown if the model of MCU provides content channel and streaming ports and which are operating in Port reservation mode. For more information about the ports your MCU provides, refer to MCU port matrix.

This value shows the total number of streaming and content ports reserved across the currently active conferences.

This value is shown if the MCU is operating in Port reservation mode, and shows, of the number of video ports reserved, how many are actually being used by active conference participants or streaming allocations.

This value is shown if the MCU is operating in Port reservation mode, and shows, of the number of audio-only ports reserved, how many are actually being used by active conference participants.

This value is shown if the model of MCU provides content channel and streaming ports and which are operating in Port reservation mode. For more information about the ports your MCU provides, refer to MCU port matrix.

This value shows the total number of streaming and content ports in use across the currently active conferences.

The number of video streams being received by the MCU.

Unicast indicates video streams sent directly to the MCU (incoming) or directly to the endpoints (outgoing) rather than multicast streams broadcast to the network and captured or sent by the MCU.

The number of video streams being sent by the MCU.

The total video data rate being received by the MCU.

The total video data rate being sent by the MCU.

The number of audio streams being received by the MCU.

Unicast indicates audio streams sent directly to the MCU (incoming) or directly to the endpoints (outgoing) rather than multicast streams broadcast to the network and captured or sent by the MCU.

The number of audio streams being sent by the MCU.

Displays active audio participants using neither G.711 nor G.722.

On the MCU 4200 Series, the MSE 8420, and the MCU 4501 in SD mode, half of the MCU's allowable participants are permitted to use complex audio channels. On the MCU 4501 in HD or HD+ mode, all conference participants can use complex audio.

A participant's endpoint is considered to be using complex audio if either it is transmitting a complex audio channel or the MCU is sending complex audio to it.
