Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fixed Ports

 

Lets you specify whether to define the TCP and UDP ports

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the firewall is not H.323 compatible, enable this setting.

 

 

 

 

The Polycom QDX 6000 system assigns a range of ports

 

 

 

 

starting with the TCP and UDP ports you specify. The

 

 

 

 

system defaults to a range beginning with port 3230 for

 

 

 

 

both TCP and UDP.

 

 

 

 

Note: You must open the corresponding ports in the

 

 

 

 

firewall. You must also open the firewall’s TCP port

 

 

 

 

1720 to allow H.323 traffic.

 

 

 

 

If the firewall is H.323 compatible or the system is not

 

 

 

 

behind a firewall, disable this setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TCP/UDP Ports

 

Lets you specify the beginning value for the range of TCP

 

 

 

 

and UDP ports used by the system. The system

 

 

 

 

automatically sets the range of ports based on the beginning

 

 

 

 

value you set.

 

 

 

 

Note: You must also open the firewall’s TCP port 1720 to

 

 

 

 

allow H.323 traffic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enable H.460

 

Allows the system to use H.460-based firewall traversal. For

 

 

Firewall Traversal

 

more information, refer to H.460 NAT Firewall Traversal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NAT Configuration

 

Lets you specify whether the system should determine the

 

 

 

 

NAT Public WAN Address automatically.

 

 

 

 

If the system is not behind a NAT or is connected to the IP

 

 

 

 

network through a Virtual Private Network (VPN), select

 

 

 

 

Off.

 

 

 

 

If the system is configured behind a NAT that allows HTTP

 

 

 

 

traffic, select Auto.

 

 

 

 

If the system is behind a NAT that does not allow HTTP

 

 

 

 

traffic, select Manual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NAT Public (WAN)

 

Displays the address that callers from outside the LAN use

 

 

Address

 

to call your system. If you chose to configure the NAT

 

 

 

 

manually, enter the NAT Public Address here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NAT is H.323

 

Specifies that the system is behind a NAT that is capable of

 

 

Compatible

 

translating H.323 traffic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Address Displayed

 

Lets you choose whether to display this system’s public or

 

 

in Global Directory

 

private address in the global directory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

H.460 NAT Firewall Traversal

You can configure QDX 6000 systems to use standards-based H.460.18 and H.460.19 firewall traversal, which allows video systems to more easily establish IP connections across firewalls.

To use this traversal, Polycom QDX 6000 systems and firewalls must be configured as follows:
