System Configuration

Configure Signaling Settings

For H.323, if a gatekeeper is configured on your network, you can register RealPresence Capture Server to the gatekeeper to simplify calling. A gatekeeper manages functions such as bandwidth control and admission control. A gatekeeper also handles address translation, which allows you to make calls using static aliases instead of IP addresses that may change each day.

If you make SIP calls, you can register RealPresence Capture Server to a SIP server to simplify calling.

H.323

If your network supports H.323, you can register RealPresence Capture Server to a H.323 server to simplify calling.

To register the system to a gatekeeper to make H.323 calls:

1In the address line, enter the system’s IP address in this format: https://<system IP address>/admin.

2Go to Configuration > Signaling Settings > H.323.

3Select Register To Gatekeeper.
