Select Save, and then press to accept the change. Enabling H.460 Support for H.323 Calls Yealink video conferencing systems support firewall traversal of H.323 calls using H.460 protocols. To use this feature, make sure your gatekeeper supports H.460 feature. Note If you configure H.323 settings and enable H.460 support, the system ignores static NAT settings.
Some branch offices lack IT professionals, which means that professional network configuration (for example: port forwarding) is impossible. Yealink VCS supports intelligent traversal deployment. You can deploy the VCS in an intranet, and assign a private IP address which can access the public network.

VCS Deployment Method seconds by default. If the VCS B in the public network does not share content within 30 seconds, the mapped port will change, so that the VCS B may fail to share content to VCS A later. To solve this problem, enable the data intelligent traversal on VCS A, the VCS A will send keep-alive messages at regular intervals to keep the port open, so that the VCS B can share content normally.
To use VPN, the compressed package of VPN-related files should be uploaded to the VC800/VC500 systems in advance. The file format of the compressed package must be *.tar. The related VPN files are: certificates (ca.crt and client.crt), key (client.key) and the configuration file (vpn.cnf) of the VPN client.

License Device Type License If the VC800/VC500 is a demo machine, namely it is used by agents to demonstrate system functions to the customers. The display device will prompt “DEMO ONLY, NOT FOR RESELL”. A DEMO machine supports 24 ways multipoint calls (an original caller and 24 other sites). You can change the VC800/VC500 from a demo machine to be a normal machine by importing a device type license.
The device type will change from “Demo Machine” to “Normal Machine”. Multipoint License You can use your VC800 system to participate in multipoint conferences. Multipoint conferences require a multipoint license. Multipoint license is configurable via web user interface only. Multipoint license is not applicable to VC500 endpoint.
