You can place data calls through Microsoft NetMeeting. NetMeeting
data is transmitted via the network and is displayed on the PC at
each site. Data conferencing is only available during ISDN (H.320)
calls and must be supported by far-site systems.
For more information about data conferencing, refer to
Conference in Appendix A. This section also contains information
about how to use a ShowStation IP.
The following lists key information about data conferencing using
NetMeeting:
To use the NetMeeting application sharing, file transfer, and
whiteboarding, your PC must be connected to your ViewStation
FX or VS4000 via your LAN.
NetMeeting data is transmitted via the H.320 network. The
bandwidth used is dynamically allocated so that when
NetMeeting is not sending data, the bandwidth used returns to
the video data.
System Compatibility and NetMeeting 3.0. T.120 application
sharing, file transfer, and whiteboarding are supported for
NetMeeting 3.0 when used with two ViewStation FX or VS4000
systems. You must have the same version of NetMeeting
installed on both ends of the conference. These functions are not
supported for NetMeeting 3.0 when used with a ViewStation FX
or VS4000 and a videoconferencing unit from another vendor. In
these situations, you must install NetMeeting 2.11.
Security Restrictions. For security reasons, the firewall will not
allow application sharing, file transfer, and whiteboarding in an
IP (H.323) call (on the ViewStation FX or VS4000). Use
NetMeeting to perform these functions between two PCs once a
connection to the far site has been established.
During the NetMeeting call, the whiteboard, chat, application
sharing, and file-transfer capabilities are available. Audio and
video are provided via the ViewStation FX or the VS4000.
