2 Application Scenario
The VP9660 provides multiple ports for a variety of broadband and narrowband data
connection types, such as IP data connection, facilitating network setup.
2.1 Cascaded Network
2.2 On-Premises Network
2.1 Cascaded Network
Cascaded networks are gaining in popularity as videoconferencing technology is advancing
and users demand increasingly larger system capacity. Cascading technology breaks the
capacity limits of a single MCU and enables MCUs to be distributed in different areas and
large-scale videoconferencing networks across regions to be set up.
Figure 2-1 shows a cascaded network.
Figure 2-1 Cascaded network
On a cascaded network, MCUs are cascaded. A multi-layer dedicated network is a large-scale
network consisting of country, state, and city levels or state, city, and town levels.

lCascading between VP9000 series MCUs and CloudMCUs and cascading between
VP9000 series MCUs and ViewPoint 8000 MCUs are supported.
lAll levels of MCUs are managed by the SMC2.0.
lMultiple channels can be set up between the upper- and lower-level MCUs, and multiple
media streams can be transmitted simultaneously. Therefore, the participants can view
video from any other site.
lHigh-bandwidth services are available with transrating capability.
lRecording servers can be deployed for conference recording, live broadcasting, and on-
demand playback.
2.2 On-Premises Network
Huawei's videoconferencing solution is a comprehensive video conference solution that
supports immersive remote conferences, desktop and mobile video access, and enterprise
streaming media applications. The solution is developed to serve customers from
governments, enterprises of all sizes, and a variety of industries, including transportation,
public safety, and finance.

On an on-premises network, the SMC2.0, MCU (VP9600 series MCU or CloudMCU),
videoconferencing endpoints, and IP network are deployed. The MCU functions as the media
switching platform in the system.
lThe VP9600 series MCUs can be deployed independently or together with CloudMCU.
lThe VP9600 series MCUs locate in the media switching layer to allow access from a
variety types of terminals in the lower layer and is managed by the SMC2.0.

filter, fan assemblies, and boards.
3.1 Chassis
3.2 Boards
3.1 Chassis
The VP9660 provides a maximum of two central control boards and eight service boards,
which are inserted into the VP9660 vertically. The VP9660 provides 2+2 AC or DC power
modules. Figure 3-1 shows the VP9660.

Heat Dissipation System
The VP9660 heat dissipation system incorporates the following:
lFan assembly: dissipates the heat of the board inside the chassis.
lFan supplied with the power module: dissipates the heat of the power module.
The VP9660 fan assemblies are located on the upper and central parts of the chassis. Air
can blow from the front, left, or right of the fan assemblies into the chassis to cool the
boards inside. The fan assembly provides a fan monitoring board, which can generate
alarms when faults occur in the fan.
For heat dissipation, do not leave any slots empty. If a slot has no board installed, install
a filler panel.
The fan supplied with the power module is at the bottom of the chassis. The air channel
of the power module is separated from the fan assembly. The air enters into the power
module from the front side and vents out from the rear side for heat dissipation.
As shown in Figure 3-3, each fan assembly provides two indicators and no power
switch.

lTo isolate the VP9660 from its power supply, remove the power cables from all power
modules.
lDo not insert both AC and DC power modules in the VP9660.
lTo achieve power backup, connect power cables to all power modules and set the power
switches to ON.
The VP9660 is shipped with four power modules.
lIf DC power modules are provided, the VP9660 requires two power modules to be fully
powered. The other two power modules serve as backups.
lIf AC power modules are provided and the input voltage is equal to or higher than 176 V,
the VP9660 requires two power modules to be fully powered. The other two power
modules serve as backups.
If the input voltage is lower than 176 V, four power modules are required to fully power
the VP9660.
lLocation and appearance
Figure 3-5 shows the AC power module. The AC power module provides a power
socket on the left of its front panel. The power socket uses an International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) C14 inlet and has a power plug lock. The dust filter
is in the center of the front panel. The fan supplied with the power module is installed
inside the power module shielded by a dust filter fixed outside.

NOTE
To ensure adequate dissipation and ventilation and to prevent the dust filter from being blocked, clean
the dust filter periodically. The recommended frequency is three months. If the dust-proof environment
is poor, clean the dust filter more frequently. If possible, replace the dust filter yearly.
3.2 Boards
A board is an integrated circuit board that provides a certain function. The board types
available for an MCU depend on the MCU model.
Board Types
The MCU boards can be classified into different types according to their functions. The
boards of different types cannot replace each other. Table 3-4 describes the functions of
different boards.
Table 3-4 Board types
Board Type Description
Main control board Used for service control and processing of signals.
Service board Used for processing of media streams.
HCCB Board
The HEVC Central Control Board B (HCCB) board is the main control board of the VP9660.
