Configuring IP Network Support

The following sections describe how to configure the system so that you can
place and receive IP video calls:
•

Configuring H.323 Settings

• Configuring Integration with Avaya Networks
• Configuring the System to Use a Gateway
• Configuring SIP Settings
• Integration with Microsoft Live Communication Server (LCS)
• Configuring Quality of Service (QoS)
Configuring H.323 Settings
To be able to make IP video calls, you must check the Enable IP H.323 setting
on the Call Preference screen, as described on page 3-27. You can then
configure the H.323 settings by following the steps in this section.
H.323 settings enable you to set up H.323, as well as set up gatekeepers and
gateways:
• A gatekeeper supervises network traffic and manages functions such as
bandwidth control and admission control. If your network uses a
gatekeeper, the system can automatically register its H.323 name and
extension. This allows others to call the system by entering the H.323 name
or extension instead of the IP address, which can change in some cases.
• A gateway performs code and protocol conversion between IP networks
and ISDN, so that users on different networks can call one another. If the
system is configured to use a gateway, you must also configure it to use a
gatekeeper.
