Cisco video conference questions

Hi guys. We have 2 offices : in UK and USA . UK has TMS, MCU  and endpoints , USA has endpoints (codecs, crestrons, jabber) .  Right now videoconferences are managed from UK , endpoints are registered with UK Gatekeeper and  not connected to CUCM (in USA), MPLS  between US and UK.  My plan is to register US endpoints to USA CUCM as sip but leave management in UK TMS and use UK MCU . I appreciate if someone can answer my questions:

1. Can I set up sip trunk directly to UK TMS , we don't have VCS-E/C, and run signaling and rtp on that sip trunk ?

2 I saw docs I can setup codecs with extensions, so can I use dialing by extensions between US and UK conf rooms ?  (all docs I found was with url dialing made on VCS expressway, but I think url we need only to dial trough internet and we'd have direct link  and extension dialing should work ?? ) 

Thank you

Yes it is recommended and best practice to allow SIP trunks between all the clusters to the centralized Conference Resource (MCU) so endpoints don't need to first go to UK call control via Sip trunk to reach MCU. its just an extra path to MCU.

a sip trunk between US CUCM and MCU also provides Adhoc call, conference bridging, Permanent conference for the users,Endpoints and Jabber in US as well. so it will be centralized Conference resources for all the geographic distributed sites.

Please rate if helpful and mark as answered if appropriate

the thing is MCU and TMS  we have only in UK, so anyway I see from your answer  I will need to setup sip trunk to UK MCU, and TMS will be able to manage conference  . Thank you
