H.323 Settings

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.
Setting
Enable IP H.323
H.323 Name
H.323 Extension (E.164)

Configure the System to Use a Gatekeeper

A gatekeeper manages functions such as bandwidth control and admission control. The gatekeeper also
handles address translation, which allows users to make calls using static aliases instead of IP addresses
that can change each day.
Polycom, Inc.
Description
Specifies whether the system should automatically adjust the bandwidth
necessary for the People stream or Content stream depending on the relative
complexity of the people video, content video, or both.
Specifies which stream has precedence when attempting to compensate for
network loss:
• Both People and Content streams
• People streams
• Content streams
The stream defined to have precedence experiences less quality degradation
during network loss compensation than the stream not having precedence.
Choosing Both People and Content streams means that both streams
experience roughly equal degradation.
This setting is not available when the Automatically Adjust People/Content
Bandwidth setting is enabled.
Description
Allows the H.323 settings to be displayed and configured.
Specifies the name that gatekeepers and gateways use to identify this system.
You can make point-to-point calls using H.323 names if both systems are
registered to a gatekeeper.
The H.323 Name is the same as the System Name, unless you change it. Your
organization's dial plan might define the names you can use.
Lets users place point-to-point calls using the extension if both systems are
registered with a gatekeeper, and specifies the extension that gatekeepers and
gateways use to identify this system.
Your organization's dial plan might define the extensions you can use.
