Transcoder - Conference Bridge query

[singh-ashok]

I have a query - in an MRGL in CUCM 7x, where no hardware conference bridge exists, can

a Transcoder fulfill the function of Hardware Conf Bridge ?

[Payal Bhaduri · Accepted solution]

you can include a software conference bridge in the MRGL along with a transcoder. This will help you achieve functionality of a hardware conference bridge.

To answer your question, NO.

A HW CFB can also work as an MTP, but an MTP CANNOT do the functions of a CFB.

Are you really sure about

"A HW CFB can also work as an MTP, but an MTP CANNOT do the functions of a CFB."

Is it documented anywhere?. I would like a link to it. Not been able to find it.

I know a Xcoder can act like a MTP. CFB as a MTP is new to me

I would just go with pbhaduri's Suggestion (Xcoder + Software CFB).

You're right, nevermind. I was thinking of an XCODER but somehow I typed CFB.
