Voice and video systems from vendors

Deploy multiple TCSPI adapters to integrate with vendor bridges.

Video bridges are more expensive than audio-only bridges. But you can use the right type of bridge for each conference. You can prevent access to the more expensive video resources. The solution is to deploy multiple TCSPI adapters, to integrate with multiple bridges. Then use policies and managed preferences to control access to more expensive resources.

Components required:
  • Sametime® Media Manager
    • Sametime Conference Manager
    • Sametime SIP Proxy/Registrar (optional, required to use the Sametime client with a SIP-capable bridge)
  • Multiple, partner-provided TCSPI adapters

The following graphic shows multiple TCSPI adapters connected to the Conference Manager component of the Media Manager for partner audio and video bridges.
