T
ANDBERG endpoints with F3, L3 or later software, support
registration to Microsoft Live Communication Server (LCS) using
NTLM authentication. You will need to configure the TANDBERG
video end point somewhat first.
NOTE! The configuration of the TANDBERG video endpoint can for
most MXP models also be done via the endpoint's web interface.
HOWEVER, THE 150MXP CANNOT BE CONFIGURED THIS WAY!
To configure your TANDBERG endpoint for registration to LCS,
navigate using the TANDBERG menu system to the Network/SIP
Settings Menu and configure:
•
Mode: Set the mode to On to enable SIP on the endpoint.
•
Display Name: Put in the name you want to be displayed when
dialing others
•
SIP Address (URI): Enter the SIP URI given to you from the LCS
administrator. This is the address other Office Communicator
clients or TANDBERG units registered to the LCS must use to
dial into your unit.
•
Server Discovery: Set this to manual, unless the LCS server ad-
dress is given automatically by the DHCP server.
•
Server Address: If Server Discovery is set to manual, enter
the LCS server DNS name or IP address here. DNS name is
preferred to avoid DNS issues.
•
User Name: This is the User Name given to you by the system
administrator. Normally this will be the first part of the SIP ad-
dress URI i.e. if the URI is somebody@company.com the user
name will normally be "somebody".
•
Password: This is the password given by the administrator for
the user given in "User Name".
Once all settings have been set, you must restart the
NOTE!
system and enter the SIP Settings menu again. If the system has
registered to the LCS successfully, you will see the message: Us-
ing SIP Server "Server Name/Address" (NTLM).

Placing/Receiving Calls

Now you can place and receive SIP calls to/from Office Communi-
cator.
If you want to place a SIP call between Office Communicator and
the TANDBERG system, simply double-click on the TANDBERG sys-
tem name in your Communicator and select the Webcam button. In
the below example Roger Bøe in green, using the Office Communi-
cator client is dialling the TANDBERG system Roger Bøe.
NOTE! You can also right-click a name from the contact list, click
the More link and click the Start a video conversation... link to start
a video conversation.
Fig. 6: Dialling a TANDBERG system using SIP from Office Communicator.
You have now established a call between the Office Communicator
and the TANDBERG system.
The quality of the call will be:
•
Audio: G.722.1, 7 Kbps wide band audio in both directions
•
Video: H.263 CIF (352 × 288 pixels)/QCIF (176 × 144). You will
see CIF from the TANDBERG system in your Communicator win-
dow, but on your TANDBERG endpoint you will only receive QCIF.
The reason is that the Communicator client currently supports
receiving CIF but only sending QCIF using H.263.
•
Bandwidth: As default all video calls from the Communicator is
set up with 1000 kbps as default.
80
NOTE! This is the maximum bandwidth allowed to be used and
is typically much higher than the bandwidth actually used. You
can limit this BW by configuring the MaxAVBW from Group Policy
Configuration (.adm).
For more information see the document: Office_Communicator_
2005_Planning_and_Deployment.doc available from Microsoft.
TIP! In a similar way you can dial from the TANDBERG system to
other Office Communicator clients simply by dial their SIP URI in
the form someone@company.com.
NOTE! When dialling from the TANDBERG system you must set the
Net to SIP, otherwise the TANDBERG system will not make a SIP
call. The number that should be dialled is the SIP URI that the user
with the webcam is logged in as.

Presence

In the current TANDBERG software versions, presence is not sup-
ported. Hence all the TANDBERG systems will always be displayed
as Offline.
