Overview

About Interworking

The VCS is able to act as a gateway between SIP and H.323, translating calls from one protocol to the other. This is known as “interworking”.

By default, the VCS will act as a SIP-H.323 gateway but only if at least one of the endpoints is locally registered.

You can add an additional option key that will allow the VCS to act as SIP-H.323 gateway regardless of whether the endpoints are locally registered. Contact your TANDBERG representative for further information.

In either case, you also always have the option to disable interworking.

An interworking call is a traversal call, and will therefore consume one traversal licence for the duration of the call.

!A call between two H.323 endpoints each registered to a different VCS may

be routed in such a way that it is interworked from H.323 to SIP and back to H.323. (For example, if the two VCSs are only able to connect via SIP.) In this case, the two H.323 endpoints involved must support H.263 video. If they do not (for example, if H.263 has been disabled) the call will still be established but it will be audio only.
