Description
Select the dialing direction:
• Dial-in – The participant dials in to the conference. This field applies to IP
participants only.
• Dial-out – The MCU dials out to the participant.
The network communication protocol used by the endpoint to connect to the
conference: H.323, or SIP or ISDN/PSTN.
The fields in the dialog box change according to the selected network type.
Enter the IP address of the participant's endpoint.
• For H.323 participant define either the endpoint IP address or alias.
• For SIP participant define either the endpoint IP address or the SIP address.
For Collaboration Servers registered to a gatekeeper, the Collaboration Server can be
configured to dial and receive calls to and from H.323 endpoints using the IP address
in the event that the Gatekeeper is not functioning.
If you are using the endpoint's alias and not the IP address, first select the type of
alias and then enter the endpoint's alias:
• H.323 ID (alphanumeric ID)
• E.164 (digits 0-9, * and #)
• Email ID (email address format, e.g. abc@example.com)
• Participant Number (digits 0-9, * and #)
Notes:
• Although all types are supported, the type of alias is dependent on the gatekeeper's
capabilities. The most commonly supported alias types are H.323 ID and E.164.
• This field is used to enter the Entry Queue ID, target Conference ID and
Conference Password when defining a cascaded lin.
• Use of the E.164 Number is dependent on the setting of the
REMOVE_IP_IF_NUMBER_EXISTS System Flag. For more information see
Substituting E.164 Number in Dial
Select the format in which the SIP address is written:
• SIP URI - Uses the format of an E-mail address, typically containing a user name
and a host name: sip:[user]@[host]. For example, sip:dan@polycom.com.
Note: If the SIP Address field contains an IPv6 address, it must be surrounded by
square brackets, for example, [::1].
• TEL URI - Used when the endpoint does not specify the domain that should
interpret a telephone number that has been input by the user. Rather, each domain
through which the request passes would be given that opportunity.
For example, a user in an airport might log in and send requests through an outbound
proxy in the airport. If the users enters "411" (this is the phone number for local
directory assistance in the United States), this number needs to be interpreted and
processed by the outbound proxy in the airport, and not by the user's home domain.
In this case, tel: 411 is the correct choice.
String.
