			About Gateway Features
	Table 1-1	Gateway Feature Summary (continued)
	Feature		Description
	Access control		The gateway features password-controlled access to the gateway interface.
			Up to ten different administrator access profiles can be defined for the
			gateway.
	DTMF translation		The gateway supports translation between in-band Dual Tone
			Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signals (on the ISDN side) and out-of-band
			H.245 messages (on the IP side). DTMF translation occurs for voice and
			video calls.
	Dual video		The gateway supports H.239 standards-based dual video and TANDBERG
			DuoVideo technology. Dual video streams enable a screen to carry video
			images from one source while simultaneously displaying images from a
			second source.
	Hot swap		The gateway features hot swap functionality that you can use to remove
			and replace gateway cards under power.
	Conceal caller ID		The gateway supports a conceal caller ID feature that instructs the
			gatekeeper to conceal the identity of the calling endpoint on the IP or
			ISDN network, whether the presentation restricted feature is enabled or
			not.
	H.323 fast start		The gateway H.323 fast start feature enables endpoints to join a voice
			conference in the gateway more quickly.
	ISDN rollover		The gateway features ISDN rollover. In this feature, the gateway sends a
	(available in Cisco		“busy out” channel request to the PSTN switch when the current PRI
	Unified		connection is left with less than a predefined number of available B
	Videoconferencing		channels. The PSTN switch “rolls over” to the next available gateway.
	3545 PRI Gateway
	only)
	Network Specific		The gateway provides support for Network Specific Facility Information
	Facility (available in		Elements (NSF IEs) which enable system administrators to specify to
	Cisco Unified		service providers the equipment, service, or network through which they
	Videoconferencing		want a call routed.
	3545 PRI Gateway
	only)
	ISDN connection		The gateway responds to ISDN connection failure events, by unregistering
	failure		from its gatekeeper. The gatekeeper is forced to send new IP-to-ISDN
			calls through a different gateway, thus ensuring high call completion rates.
			The gateway re-registers to the gatekeeper when the ISDN connection is
			restored.
	Downspeeding		The gateway features downspeeding functionality. In the downspeeding
			feature, the gateway attempts to reconnect a disconnected video call either
			at a lower bandwidth or as a voice call. Downspeeding contributes to a
			higher percentage of call completion on the network. The gateway
			supports downspeeding at call setup and in mid-call.
	Multiple trap server		The gateway supports up to three SNMP trap servers.
	support
	H.239 support		The gateway supports the H.239 protocol in ISDN-to-IP calls and in
			IP-to-ISDN calls.
