H323 Profile [1..1] Authentication Mode

Set the authenticatin mode for the H.323 profile.

H323 NAT Mode

The firewall traversal technology creates a secure path through the firewall barrier, and enables proper exchange of audio/video data when connected to an external video conferencing system (when the IP traffic goes through a NAT router). NOTE: NAT does not work in conjunction with gatekeepers.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <Auto/On/Off>

Auto: The system will determine if the "NAT Address" or the real IP-address should be used within signalling. This is done to make it possible to place calls to endpoints on the LAN as well as endpoints on the WAN.

On: The system will signal the configured "NAT Address" in place of its own IP-address

within Q.931 and H.245. The NAT Server Address will be shown in the startup-menu as: "My

IP Address: 10.0.2.1".

Off: The system will signal the real IP Address.

Example: H323 NAT Mode: Off

H323 NAT Address

Enter the external/global IP-address to the router with NAT support. Packets sent to the router will then be routed to the system.

In the router, the following ports must be routed to the system's IP-address:

*Port 1720

*Port 5555-5574

*Port 2326-2485

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <S: 0, 64>

Format: String with a maximum of 64 characters.

Example: H323 NAT Address: ""

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <On/Off>

On: If the H.323 Gatekeeper Authentication Mode is set to On and a H.323 Gatekeeper indicates that it requires authentication, the system will try to authenticate itself to the gatekeeper. NOTE: Requires the Authentication LoginName and Authentication Password to be defined on both the codec and the Gatekeeper.

Off: If the H.323 Gatekeeper Authentication Mode is set to Off the system will not try to authenticate itself to a H.323 Gatekeeper, but will still try a normal registration.

Example: H323 Profile 1 Authentication Mode: Off

H323 Profile [1..1] Authentication LoginName

The system sends the Authentication Login Name and the Authentication Password to a H.323 Gatekeeper for authentication. The authentication is a one way authentication from the codec to the H.323 Gatekeeper, i.e. the system is authenticated to the gatekeeper. If the H.323 Gatekeeper indicates that no authentication is required, the system will still try to register. NOTE: Requires the H.323 Gatekeeper Authentication Mode to be enabled.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <S: 0, 50>

Format: String with a maximum of 50 characters.

Example: H323 Profile 1 Authentication LoginName: ""

H323 Profile [1..1] Authentication Password

The system sends the Authentication Login Name and the Authentication Password to a H.323 Gatekeeper for authentication. The authentication is a one way authentication from the codec to the H.323 Gatekeeper, i.e. the system is authenticated to the gatekeeper. If the H.323 Gatekeeper indicates that no authentication is required, the system will still try to register. NOTE: Requires the H.323 Gatekeeper Authentication Mode to be enabled.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <S: 0, 50>

Format: String with a maximum of 50 characters.
