Option

Description

 

 

H323 Participant -

Select the format of the alias from the drop down

Alias Type

list. Only E.164 and H.323 ID are supported.

 

 

SIP Address

sip: [user name]@[domain].

 

Note that the SIP URI adheres to URI rules: no

 

spaces or special characters such as commas,

 

quotation marks, inverted tags and so forth either

 

in the user name or in the domain part.

 

[To compare to H.323, which uses the endpoint location

 

for identifying the participant, in SIP participants can

 

change locations but still be addressed as long as they

 

continuously refresh their registrations with the proxy.

 

The proxy forwards invitees to their current location.

 

 

SIP Address

SIP URI: A SIP URI uses the format of an email

Type

address, typically containing a username and a

 

host name, sip:user@host. For example,

 

sip:dan@polycom.com.

 

TEL URL: "Tel" means that a voice call is opened.

 

TEL URL may be used when the UA does not

 

wish to specify the domain that should interpret a

 

telephone number that has been input by the user.

 

Rather, each domain through which the request

 

passes would be given that opportunity. As an

 

example, a user in an airport might log in and send

 

requests through an outbound proxy in the airport.

 

If they enter "411" (this is the phone number for

 

local directory assistance in the United States),

 

that needs to be interpreted and processed by the

 

outbound proxy in the airport, not the user's home

 

domain. In this case, tel:411 would be the right

 

choice.

 

 

H323 Participant -

This option is enabled if the Auto Video Bit Rate

Video Bit Rate

option is cleared. It allows you to specify the

KBits/sec

specific video transfer rate (multiples of 100 bits/

 

sec is recommended) for the participants. This

 

option defaults to the conference setting when

 

adding a new participant during an On Going

 

conference.
