8REGISTERING AN MCU

The Mitel Networks 5700 VFA supports the use of MCUs (Multipoint Control

Unit) for connecting registered end points with a number of other end points in a

multipoint videoconference.

NOTE For Accord MGC users

The operation of Accord MGC in conjunction with the 5700 VFA requires

a special configuration. For more information, see Appendix D, “Using

Accord™ MGC with the 5700 VFA”.

8.1 Logging in a New MCU

If the 5700 VFA is in Open Mode for MCUs, any MCU that attempts to register is

automatically logged in.

If the system is in Closed Mode, an MCU must be granted login permission by an

administrator with Super User privileges. During this process, the administrator

must define or confirm the MCU’s 5700 VFA properties.

É To register an MCU to the 5700 VFA

1. In the MCU’s configuration application, enter the IP address of the

5700 VFA and complete the appropriate commands to register.

If the 5700 VFA is in Closed Mode for MCUs, a Login Request

notification appears on the Administrator tree.

2. Expand the Login Request item.
