About Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCUTopologies
The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU can work in a centralized or cascaded topology. This
section describes these two options.
Centralized Topology
In a centralized topology, the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU performs media processing
for all connected terminals. The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU can handle multiple
conferences simultaneously.

Cascaded Conferences
The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU allows you to combine two or more conferences
resulting in a larger conference with many more participants. This is called cascading. Cascading creates
a distributed environment that helps reduce the drain on network resources. In addition, the processing
resources required by the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU are distributed between
participating MCUs. Costly telephone or ISDN line usage can be further reduced with the mediation of
a gateway.
Cascading occurs when one conference with “x” number of participants invites another conference with
“y” number of participants. The two conferences effectively become one large conference. The
bandwidth required across a cascaded conference link is only that of one audio/video stream between
the two conferences. This is significantly less than the accumulated bandwidth of all the participants.
Each separate Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit participating in a conference retains
control of its individual conference resources and participants.

•
•
Signaling and audio card (MCU—the upper card)
Video processing card (EMP—the lower card)
The two cards work together to perform audio and videoconferencing, but each card requires a unique
IP address. The cards communicate with each other using IP as the backbone.
Note
For correct operation, the EMP card must register with the MCU.
This section provides a physical description of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU12 and
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU24 units.
The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port on the front
panel that uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to the network. There is an asynchronous, 9-pin serial-port
that you can use with a hyperterminal program to configure and monitor the module.
Figure 2-1 shows the front panel of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit. Table 2-1
describes the components of the front panel.
