New installations of Release 6.1 require a Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) dedicated to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace applications. Hardware configuration is based on the number of voice and web-conferencing user licenses (ports) on your system.
When reviewing this section, note the following considerations:
You must have installed Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 6.1 on the machine before installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Office Communicator Release 6.1.
You must install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Office Communicator Release 6.1 in the same directory as Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing. (For example, if you install Web Conferencing in C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems, also install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Office Communicator in the Cisco Systems directory.)
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace LCS Gateway does not support the WebConnect feature. (WebConnect provides site-to-site rollover in the event that a site is unavailable.) Conferences initiated from MOC clients always use the site in which the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace LCS Gateway resides.
The Cisco Security Agent for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace is now supported on the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Microsoft Office Communicator server. The Cisco Security Agent requires that ports 5060 to 5069 be open so that the LCS Gateway can listen for incoming meeting requests.

(This is the same machine on which you installed Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing 6.1.)
Hardware
A Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS), or the exact equivalent from HP or IBM, that is dedicated to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace applications. The number of MCSes that you require depends on the number of voice and web-conferencing user licenses (ports) on your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system.
Cisco MCS-7835-H1-RC1, MCS-7835-H2-RC1, MCS-7835-I1-RC1, or MCS-7835-I2-RC1.
For systems up to 480 voice user licenses.
Supports up to 50 web-conferencing user licenses.
Cisco MCS-7845-H1-RC1, MCS-7845-H2-RC1, MCS-7845-I1-RC1, MCS-7845-I2-RC1, MCS-7845-I3-RC1*, or MCS 7835-I3-RC1.
For systems up to 1,152 voice user licenses.
Supports up to 500 web-conferencing user licenses per server.
If you have more than 50 web-conferencing user licenses, move the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace integrations (for example, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook, SMTP E-Mail Gateway) to an MCS 7845 or MCS 7835-I3-RC1 that is dedicated to web conferencing.
Note: MCS-7845-I3-RC1 is supported in Release 6.1 MR1 and later.
Add a dedicated MCS 7845 or MCS 7835-I3-RC1 for each additional 200 web-conferencing user licenses.
