About Gateway Features

Table 1-1lists the major features of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Gateway.

Table 1-1			Gateway Feature Summary
	Feature			Description
	Interoperability			The gateway provides a high degree of interoperability with other H.323
				compliant gateways, gatekeepers, terminals, proxy, and Multipoint Control Unit
				(MCU) products by being based on the H.320 standard and H.323 protocol stack.
	Web-based management			The gateway features the gateway interface. This is a web interface used to
				configure and monitor the gateway. You can view and modify all aspects of the
				gateway configuration from a remote location using a Java-enabled web browser.
	SNMP management			The gateway features Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
				management that supports all aspects of monitoring, diagnostics, configuration,
				and trapping.
	Diagnostics			The gateway features front and rear panel LED indicators that display status for
				the unit. You can also access remote diagnostics of the unit through the gateway
				interface, Telnet, SNMP, or a serial port.
	Network load balancing			The gateway supports load balancing on the network by communicating with a
				gatekeeper through H.323 RAI (Resource Available Indication)/RAC (Resource
				Available Confirmation) messages.
	T.120 data collaboration			The gateway supports data transfers in calls between ISDN and IP by using high
				speed T.120 in HMLP and VarMLP formats.
	Quality of service (QoS)			The gateway features configurable coding of media packets to achieve QoS
				routing priority on the Internet Protocol (IP) network. The Type of Service (ToS)
				bits of the IP datagram header can be configured for priority level.
	Dial plan			The gateway supports a simplified dial plan for outbound dialing using a single
				universal prefix. Using the dial plan, the gateway automatically detects the
				capabilities received in the Setup message from the IP endpoint and sets the same
				bit rate for the ISDN (or serial interface) side of the call.
	Direct dialing and call routing			The gateway dial plan supports these direct dialing and call routing facilities:
				• Direct Inward Dialing (DID)
					– Multiple Subscriber Network (MSN)
					– Q.931 Sub-addressing Information Element
				Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Serial Gateway supports DID in DCE
				mode only.
				• Internal and External Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
				•	TCS4
				•	Default extension
	Access control			The gateway features password-controlled access to the gateway interface. You
				can define up to ten different administrator access profiles 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.
