Simplified video communications for end users

Polycom OneDial™

Polycom OneDial hides all the complicated num- bers, prefixes, codes, network choices (IP or ISDN), and steps processed to complete your call. Users select a name from a directory or enter a simplified phone number just like on a phone.

Conference On-Demand*

Polycom OneDial enables on-demand multipoint conference calls and enables any ViaVideo® II, iPower™, ViewStation® or V-Series system to dial multiple endpoints, turning any endpoint into a multipoint system.

*Requires Polycom MGC™

Firewall Traversal Support

Allows video/voice to pass freely through firewalls without compromising security

Simplified, cost effective management for network administrators

Policy management

Administrators can create policy management parameters to control bandwidth through segments of their video network, apply network policies, and provide access to resources based on individual, group, or corporate-wide settings.

Auto provisioning

Polycom PathNavigator allows for auto provision- ing of DID (ISDN) and E.164 numbers for automat- ed deployment of video endpoints.

Increased Availability and Security

Polycom PathNavigator flags all call attempts from unregistered endpoints and allows administrators to predetermine whether the calls are automatical- ly denied access. Administrators can also keep NAT IP addresses confidential, preventing internal IP addresses from being accessed or sent outside the firewall.

Diagnostics and CDR

Polycom PathNavigator provides customizable diagnostic levels that can be applied globally, by device, or by call. It captures usage details for each call by device. The CDR enables internal reporting and billing for services by capturing date, time, duration, speed, number/address, and call direction. This data can also be exported in a CSV format.

Gatekeeper Authorization

Integrates with POLYCOM CONFERENCE SUITE to enables ad-hoc video calls only if bandwidth and resources are available

RTP Statistics

PathNavigator provides packet loss, jitter and latency over time to analyze health of a call in a video network. Real-time graphs also show issues at any point in time of a video network.

Supports Third-party Products

Polycom PathNavigator is based on H.323 V4 with open standards and supports third-party endpoints, gateways, MCUs, and other gatekeepers, which can be deployed as “neighbor gatekeepers.”

Registrations License*	Concurrent Calls
25	12**
100	30
500	150
3,000	600

*License Packs are additive.

**25-packs support 8 concurrent calls per pack. As a convenience for MCU installations, a single 25-pack installed separately on a server will auto- matically support up to 12 concurrent calls. When adding a second, third or forth 25-pack the total number of concurrent calls will revert to 15, 23, and 30 respectively.

Polycom PathNavigator comes with a 90-day maintenance support program providing for Software Update (Bug Fixes) and Upgrade (New Features) Releases as part of the product purchase. To continue

to receive support and new product releases beyond 90 days, purchasing a maintenance contract is the most economical solution. Contact your Polycom Reseller or a Polycom Sales Representative for more details.
