The SCOPIA TIP Gateway allows organizations to connect Cisco telepresence rooms directly to
a SCOPIA Elite MCU conference and view all three screens of the Cisco telepresence system.
The TIP Gateway is used for making video calls from the SCOPIA Elite MCU to Cisco
Telepresence rooms and vice versa. Without the TIP Gateway you see only the active speaker
on the endpoint screen. With the TIP Gateway you see all the participants on the screens,
giving the full telepresence experience. With a SCOPIA TIP Gateway deployed into your
existing SCOPIA Solution, Cisco telepresence rooms become an integral part of your
deployment.
Figure 1-1 on page 1 illustrates this functionality, whether the TIP Gateway is located in an
enterprise or hosted in a service provider’s network.

The main features of the TIP Gateway include:
•TIP protocol support
Cisco telepresence rooms can connect to a SCOPIA Elite MCU conference and enjoy a
comprehensive experience including audio, video and content sharing.
SCOPIA Elite MCU provides video layouts that were designed specifically for telepresence
rooms to maintain the telepresence experience in the best possible way.
•Scheduling
Cisco Telepresence rooms can be included in a scheduled SCOPIA Management meeting
like any other endpoint.
•Scalability
The TIP Gateway is designed to grow with deployment requirements from a small
workgroup to an entire enterprise. Unlimited scalability is achieved by simply stacking
multiple gateways.
For more information on the TIP Gateway deployment, see “Planning your Topology for the
TIP Gateway ” on page 4.

PlanningyourTopologyforthe TIP Gateway
Deploying the SCOPIA TIP Gateway requires configuring the unit itself as well as several other
components.
Depending on the deployment, the setup is composed of these mandatory components:
•TIP Gateway
•SCOPIA Management
•SCOPIA Elite MCU for housing telepresence meetings with multiple endpoints, both H.323
and SIP.
•H.323/SIP endpoints
•CUCM (Cisco Unified Communications Manager). This is the central communication server
for all Cisco related products.
•Cisco Telepresence Systems. These include single-presence CTS-500/1000 Series and
triple-presence CTS-3000 Series.
Other optional components typically include:
•CTMS (Cisco Telepresence Multipoint Switch), which is the Cisco MCU
•CTS-Manager, Cisco's application for scheduling meetings.
Figure 2-1 on page 5 describes a typical deployment of the TIP Gateway.

CreatingDialPlansforCisco Telepresence
All telepresence calls are made through the SCOPIA Elite MCU. Users of telepresence
deployments do not need to choose a specific MCU. The powerful functionality of virtual
rooms enables you to dial the same number anywhere in the world while the SCOPIA Solution
infrastructure transparently directs you to the correct telepresence conference.
For information on the devices that are part of the telepresence deployment, see “Planning
your Topology for the TIP Gateway ” on page 4.
Note Cisco routing patterns are configured only by the personnel that installed the Cisco services or
by the customer's network administrator.
Cisco Telepresence Systems can dial into a telepresence conference as follows:
•By dialing directly into to the SCOPIA Elite MCU via SCOPIA Management.
For example, a routing pattern might define the dial prefix ‘5’ to route the call to the
SCOPIA Management. Dialing the number 5-1234 would send the number 1234 to the
SCOPIA Management.
•By dialing through the CTMS in organizations that use this Cisco MCU in their deployment.
Standard endpoints can dial into a telepresence conference as follows:
•By dialing directly to the Cisco Telepresence Systems.
For example, to call the CTS, you would dial '3003' which is the phone number the Cisco
network administrator has allocated to the device.
