information carried on the data stream. Media is transmitted via the RTP
and RTCP protocols in both SIP and H.323 calls. The parallel data stream
of both live video and presentation, is known as dual video.
See Control on page 85.
Meeting types (also known as MCU/Media Server services) are meeting
templates which determine the core characteristics of a meeting. For
example, they determine if the meeting is audio only or audio and video,
they determine the default video layout, the type of encryption, PIN
protection and many other features. You can invoke a meeting type by
dialing its prefix in front of the meeting ID. Meeting types are created and
stored in the Avaya Equinox Media Server, with additional properties in
Equinox Management.
A moderator has special rights in a videoconference, including blocking the
sound and video of other participants, inviting new participants,
disconnecting others, determining video layouts, and closing meetings. In
Scopia Desktop Client, an owner of a virtual room is the moderator when
the room is protected by a PIN. Without this protection, any participant can
assume moderator rights.
The MTU, or Maximum Transmission Unit, is the maximum size of data
packets sent around your network. This value must remain consistent for all
network components, including servers like the MCU and/or Equinox Media
Server and Scopia Desktop Server, endpoints like XT Series and other
network devices like network routers.
A multi-point conference has more than two participants.
Service provider, or multi-tenant, deployments enable one installation to
manage multiple organizations. All the organizations can reside as tenants
within a single service provider deployment. For example, Equinox
Management can manage a separate set of users for each organization,
separate local administrators, separate bandwidth policies etc. all within a
single multi-tenant installation.
Multicast streaming sends a videoconference to multiple viewers across a
range of addresses, reducing network traffic significantly. Scopia Desktop
Server multicasts to a single IP address, and streaming clients must tune in
to this IP address to view the meeting. Multicasts require that routers,
switches and other equipment know how to forward multicast traffic.
A NAT, or Network Address Translation device, translates external IP
addresses to internal addresses housed in a private network. This enables
a collection of devices like endpoints in a private network, each with their
own internal IP address, can be represented publicly by a single, unique IP
address. The NAT translates between public and private addresses,
