Software Requirements

Your network environment must meet the following minimum software requirements:

•Windows NT 4.0 TCP/IP server

•WinSock 1.1 (or later)

•SNMP service (optional) for managing LiveGateway from the LiveGateway SNMP Manager of the LiveManager gatekeeper

SNMP Service

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol that is available on Windows NT. LiveGateway’s use of SNMP lets you manage the LiveGateway (installed throughout your network) remotely through the LiveManager Console. To manage LiveGateway from the LiveManager Console, you need to enable SNMP service when you install LiveGateway. Refer to Installing the LiveGateway Software for the instructions for enabling SNMP service for LiveManager when you install LiveGateway.

Refer to Chapter 2, Installing LiveManager of the PictureTel LiveManager Install Guide for instructions on how to install the LiveManager Console component of LiveManager on a Windows NT 4.0 (or later) server or a Windows NT or Windows 95 client.

If you want to manage LiveGateway through the LiveManager Console, but you do not have SNMP service, contact your network administrator.

ISDN BRI Line

LiveGateway comes ready to connect to an ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) with either National or Custom ISDN BRI service. You need the following ISDN service, equipment, and information to install LiveGateway:

•ISDN BRI Access

For information about obtaining ISDN BRI access, call PictureTel at 1-800-716-6000, and request the following documents:

•ISDN Overview (number 3321)

•Contacts for Network Service and Equipment (number 3311)

•A Network Termination (NT1) connected to your ISDN network

If you are connected to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX), check your PBX Note requirements. Depending on the type of PBX system you are using, you might

not need an NT1.
