About the Built-In Media Server
You can use your Avaya XT Series to join a videoconference hosted on an external Media Server
or you can host a meeting on the built-in Media Server if available.
A Multipoint Control Unit (Media Server) connects several endpoints to a single videoconference.
It can manage multiple separate conferences simultaneously. It manages the audio mixing and
creates the video layouts, adjusting the output to suit each endpoint's capabilities (transcoding).
The term Media Server refers to any Avaya or third party MCU.
