Physical Description of the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3515 MCU
Each Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit internally contains two cards:
• Signaling and audio card (MCU—the upper card)
• Video processing card (EMP—the lower card)
The two cards work together to perform audio and videoconferencing, but each card requires a unique
IP address. The cards communicate with each other using IP as the backbone.
Note For correct operation, the EMP card must register with the MCU.
This section provides a physical description of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU12 and
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU24 units.
The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port on the front
panel that uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to the network. There is an asynchronous, 9-pin serial-port
that you can use with a hyperterminal program to configure and monitor the module.
