Ip Network Services - Polycom MGC-100 Getting Started Manual

IP Network Services

The IP Network Service defines the properties of the IP network used for
connecting IP endpoints to the conference and the IP cards (installed in the
MCU) to which the network is connected. Several of the network components
are used by both H.323 and SIP endpoints to connect to the conference, and
the same IP card is used for H.323 and SIP connections. Therefore one IP
Network Service can be defined for both H.323 and SIP environments as
well.
H.323-only Network Service
The H.323 network service defines the properties and the IP addresses of the
H.323 network components such as H.323 endpoints, gatekeepers, DNS, NAT
Traversal and IP/IP+ cards installed in the MGC unit. This Network Service
cannot be used to connect SIP participants to conferences.
SIP-only Network Service
The SIP network service defines the properties and IP addresses of the SIP
network components such as the SIP proxy server(s), DNS server, and the IP+
cards installed in the MCU.
To define an IP Network Service:
1. In the Browser pane, expand the MCU tree.
2. In the MCU's options list, double-click the MCU Configuration icon, or
expand the MCU Configuration tree.
A list of configuration options appears below the MCU Configuration
icon.
3. Double-click the Network Services icon, or expand the Network Services
tree.
4. Right-click the Network Services – IP icon, and then click New IP
Service.
