Feature

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Encryption support

The gateway supports H.235-compliant AES 128 encryption for calls over

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP networks, and H.233 and H.234-compliant AES 128 encryption for

 

 

 

 

 

 

calls over ISDN networks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

H.243 Conference

The gateway supports the H.243 protocol in ISDN-to-IP calls and in

 

 

 

 

Control support

 

IP-to-ISDN calls. The gateway identifies the protocol version that an IP

 

 

 

 

 

 

endpoint uses and sends H.239 capabilities only to those endpoints

 

 

 

 

 

 

working with protocol version 4.0 or later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peer-to-peer

 

The gateway supports connectivity to the IP network through a gatekeeper,

 

 

 

 

connectivity

 

or directly to a peer device such as Cisco Unified Communications

 

 

 

 

 

 

Manager.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP network

 

The gateway has one 10/100Base-T Ethernet IP port (on the front panel)

 

 

 

 

connections

 

and connects to an IP segment through a direct connection to a network

 

 

 

 

 

 

switch.

Supported audio codecs

 

The term audio transcoded video calls refers to the process whereby an

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

audio stream in a multimedia call can be transcoded from one codec type to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

another.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basic and advanced audio coding supported codecs: G.711, G.722, G.722.1,
