Since the location of the XT Series is not fixed, the ports' source and destination differ depending
on your XT Series topology. There are two main deployment topologies for the XT Series, each
with optional additional components:
• XT Series as an endpoint (standard topology)
• XT Series with Scopia XT Desktop (XT Series SMB Edition)
Typically, XT Series endpoints connect to a conference managed by Avaya Meetings
Management, and hosted on the Scopia Elite MCU or the Avaya Meetings Server Media Server.
XT Series endpoints may be both within and outside the enterprise. See
Figure 12: Standard
topology for Avaya Room System XT Series on page 38.

In contrast, in the XT Series SMB Edition topology, Avaya Meetings Server clients join the
conference via Scopia XT Desktop Server, located in the DMZ. The Scopia XT Desktop Server
then connects to an XT Series endpoint with built-in MCU located inside the enterprise. External
and internal XT Series endpoints connect directly to the XT Series endpoint with built-in MCU. See
Figure 13: XT Series SMB Edition topology on page 38.
