media resource sanity check

For whatever reason, upper management likes Lync audio conferencing and
wants to integrate it with Cisco.

Lync uses G711 between cisco and the Mediation server.

So I need to transcode at the site local to Lync from all other sites.

1. Could I use MTP (IOS software MTP) so I don't need to use DSP resources
for the transcoder?


My intended design is this:


Remote sites Lync site
WAN Site 1 ----------
|-------------------Transcode/MTP
--------------Lync
WAN Site 2 ----------


Create device pool/region for Lync
Create a dp/region for the transcoder/MTP

Set G711 between transcoder region and Lync region
Set g729 between all other regions and transcoder region

Put transcoder/MTP in each site MRG
Put ONLY this transcoder/MTP in the lync mrg

2. Would I also need to create a mrg to use for the transcode DP so it only
uses this transcoder?

Re: media resource sanity check [In reply to]

Transcoding requires hardware DSPs.

Yes, I would recommend using a dedicated MRG/L for this hardware transcoder that is local to the Lync Mediation server.
