Description

H.323 Version 4 Parameters

 

 

 

 

H.323

Y/N

Signaling for multiple phone

Multiplexing

 

calls can be carried on a single

(Mux)

 

port rather than opening a

 

 

separate signaling port for

 

 

each call. This conserves

 

 

bandwidth resources.

 

 

 

H.245

Values: Y/N

 

Tunneling

Description: H.245 messages are

(Tun)

encapsulated within the Q.931 call-signaling

 

channel. Among other things, the H.245

 

messages let the two endpoints tell each other

 

what their technical capabilities are and

 

determine who, during the call, will be the

 

client and who the server. Tunneling is the

 

process of transmitting these H.245 messages

 

through the Q.931 channel. The same TCP/IP

 

socket (or logical port) already being used for

 

the Call Signaling Channel is then also used

 

by the H.245 Control Channel. This

 

encapsulation reduces the number of logical

 

ports (sockets) needed and reduces call setup

 

time.
