Gateway Calls (Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/2000/4000,
AVC-based Conferencing only)
Using a special Gateway Profile, the Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000 can be used as a gateway that
provides connectivity across different physical networks such as H.323, SIP, ISDN and PSTN. The Gateway
also provides connectivity between the ISDN/PSTN endpoints and the RealPresence DMA system.
Gateway calls are not supported with Collaboration Server (RMX) 1800.

Methods for connecting to conferences

All endpoints that do not support the H.264 SVC protocol such as H.263, H.264, or RTV, are considered
AVC endpoints.

Using Entry Queues to Access Conferences

An Entry Queue is a special routing lobby for video and audio participants. After dialing the Entry Queue ID
or in Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/2000/4000 a dial-in number (ISDN/PSTN), voice prompts from an
IVR service are used to connect the participants to the appropriate conference.
This service can also be used (if required) to verify the participant's right to start an Ad Hoc conference or
to join an ongoing conference.

AVC-based Connections

In AVC-based connection, IPv4, IPv6, ISDN and PSTN (not in Collaboration Server 1800) H.323 and SIP
communication protocols are supported for connection to the conference.
Endpoints can connect using the following Video Protocols: H.263, H.264 Base and High Profile and RTV.
● Dial-out: automatically, to pre-defined participants (line rate detection is automatic)
● Dial-in:
 for participants defined in advance
 for undefined participants connecting directly to a conference (IP and ISDN/PSTN)
 for undefined participants via a single dial Entry Queue (IP and ISDN/PSTN)

SVC-based Connections

In SVC-based connections, IPv4 SIP communication protocol is supported for connection to the conference.
Endpoints can connect using the SVC Video Protocol.
● Dial-out: not supported for SVC participants in SVC Only or mixed CP and SVC conferences
● Dial-in:
 for participants defined in advance
