Planning Nat And Firewall Traversal With Avaya Scopia Xt Series - Avaya Scopia XT Series Deployment Manual

Planning the Topology of the Avaya Scopia
The deployment has very few components. You do not need additional hardware like an
external MCU, Avaya Equinox H.323 Edge for firewall traversal, or a gatekeeper for routing
calls.
• The included Scopia XT Desktop provides built-in NAT and firewall traversal functionality,
enabling secure remote connections from Scopia XT Desktop clients.
The XT Series SMB Edition includes the following :
• Full SMB9 - Advanced MCU level, with one local participant and up to eight remote endpoints
or PC clients/desktop/mobile. PC is only for Windows, while desktop clients run on Windows
and Mac.
There is no local endpoint if you deploy the XT Series as a video server.
As you add more XT Series endpoints, you can also manage them centrally with Equinox
Management. This would enable centralized updating, backing up, control, and the use of Avaya
®
Equinox applications as mobile clients.

describes the available methods to incorporate NAT and firewall traversal with XT Series:
• Using a Avaya HTTP server or a STUN public server for NAT and firewall traversal

Using an HTTP/STUN Server for NAT and Firewall Traversal
HTTP or STUN server to discover its public IP address, then sends it to any external
endpoints wishing to join the conference. The external endpoints then answer the call using
the IP address provided. Configure the XT Series for HTTP or STUN autodiscovery. A STUN
server enables you to directly dial an endpoint behind a NAT or firewall by giving that
computer's public internet address.
