Chapter 8 Interoperability with Legacy Video Conferencing Devices

Configuring Cisco TelePresence Interoperability

Figure 8-4 H.323 Configuration Screen

If you are using an H.323 Gatekeeper, define the Gatekeeper IP address and the Gatekeeper Port as 1719.

If you are using an MCU as an H.323 trunk in Unified Communications, go to Advanced H.323 Settings on the CUVC Protocols configuration page and record the RAS port number and Signaling Port parameter value. Use the Signaling Port value for the Unified Communications H.323 Trunk Port definition.

Configure CUVC meeting characteristics for Cisco TelePresence Interoperability. CUVC meeting characteristics are configured individually using the service prefix. Service prefixes define the CUVC meeting characteristics, and are defined on the CUVC Administration page under Services.

From the Automatic Service Definitions page under Services as shown in Figure 8-5, configure the following attributes:

Max Call Rate: 768 Kbps

Max layout: 1x1

Supported image size up to: CIF
