Field

Description

 

 

 

 

Prefix

Enter a number to be used by H.323 participants to dial

 

 

to the MCU as part of the dial-in string.

 

 

Enter 789 to use the default Entry Queues and Meeting

 

 

Rooms shipped with the MGC+ unit without modifying

 

 

their properties.

 

 

When PathNavigator is used, this prefix automatically

 

 

registers with the gatekeeper. When another

 

 

gatekeeper is used, this prefix must also be defined in

 

 

the gatekeeper.

 

 

 

 

SIP

Select this check box to indicate that SIP participants

 

 

can connect to the MCU using this service. Then select:

 

 

Specify - to manually define the SIP server.

 

 

Auto - to automatically detect the SIP server’s IP

 

 

address if a DHCP or if a DNS Server is defined.

 

 

 

 

SIP Server IP

If SIP-Specify is selected, and a DHCP is not used,

 

Address or

enter either the IP address of the preferred SIP server

 

Name

or its host name (if a DNS server is used).

 

 

 

 

Domain Name

Conferences and Entry Queues can be registered in the

 

or IP Address

proxy in the format user@host. for example,

 

 

EQ1@polycom.com, where EQ1is the user part and

 

 

polycom.com is the host part.

 

 

When dialing to a conference or Entry Queue, the SIP

 

 

server expects to receive the host either as domain

 

 

name or as an IP address.

 

 

The domain name is used for identifying the SIP server

 

 

in the appropriate domain according to the host part in

 

 

the dialed string. For example, when the call to

 

 

EQ1@polycom.com reaches the outbound proxy, this

 

 

proxy looks for the SIP server in the polycom.com

 

 

domain to which it will forward the call.

 

 

When this call arrives at the SIP server in polycom.com,

 

 

the server looks for the registered user (EQ1) and

 

 

forwards the call to this Entry Queue or conference.
