Endpoint
February 2016
A dedicated endpoint is a hardware endpoint for videoconferencing
assigned to a single user. It is often referred to as a personal or executive
endpoint, and serves as the main means of video communications for this
user. For example, Scopia
LDAP directory as associated exclusively with this user.
A dial plan defines a way to route a call and to determine its characteristics.
In traditional telephone networks, prefixes often denote geographic
locations. In videoconferencing deployments, prefixes are also used to
define the type and quality of a call. For example, dial 8 before a number for
a lower bandwidth call, or 6 for an audio-only call, or 5 to route the call to a
different branch.
A dial prefix is a number added at the beginning of a dial string to route it to
the correct destination, or to determine the type of call. Dial prefixes are
defined in the organization's dial plan. For example, dial 9 for an outside
line, or dial 6 for an audio only call.
A distributed deployment describes a deployment where the solution
components are geographically distributed in more than one network
location.
A DNS server is responsible for resolving domain names in your network by
translating them into IP addresses.
DTMF, or touch-tone, is the method of dialing on touch-tone phones, where
each number is translated and transmitted as an audio tone.
Dual video is the transmitting of two video streams during a
videoconference, one with the live video while the other is a shared data
stream, like a presentation.
The dynamic video layout is a meeting layout that switches dynamically to
include the maximum number of participants it can display on the screen
(up to 9 on the XT Series, or up to 28 on Scopia
image always shows the active speaker.
E.164 is an address format for dialing an endpoint with a standard
telephone numeric keypad, which only has numbers 0 - 9 and the symbols:
* and #.
An endpoint is a tool through which people can participate in a
videoconference. Its display enables you to see and hear others in the
meeting, while its microphone and camera enable you to be seen and
heard by others. Endpoints include dedicated endpoints, like Scopia
