MGC-50/MGC-100 Getting Started Guide

1-1

Before You Begin

This Getting Started Guide provides information on the installation and

basic operation of your MGC-50/100. For more information on defining and

running conferences, defining IVR services and managing the system, refer

to the MGC Manager User’s Guide Volumes I & II and the MGC

Administrator’s Guide included with the system. References to the relevant

chapters of these guides are included throughout this Getting Started Guide.

System Overview

The MGC-50 and MGC-100 are high performance, high capacity multi-

network solutions that provides you with feature-rich, and easy-to-use

multipoint voice, video and gateway conferencing.

The system meets International Telecommunication Union -

Telecommunication Standardization Sector, (ITU-T, formerly CCITT)

standards for multipoint multimedia bridging devices, and meets ETSI

standards for telecommunication products. The MGC-100 DC also meets

the NEBS Compliant Standard (when so ordered) for our clients based in the

United States.

The flexible architecture in the system is designed to accommodate users’

changing multipoint needs. This system utilizes a modular “universal slot”

platform that allows the formation of different configurations based on

users’ individual port capacity and functionality requirements.

This is an example of the notes that you may encounter throughout this guide.
