This section provides information on the pages that appear under the Protocols, Registrations and Authentication sub-menus of the VCS Configuration menu. These pages allow you to configure the functionality of the VCS in each of these areas.

This section includes the following information:

•an overview of H.323 and SIP and the configuration options available on the VCS for each of these protocols

•how to configure the VCS to act as a SIP to H.323 gateway

•how to restrict registrations using Allow Lists and Deny Lists

•how to configure the VCS to require endpoints to authenticate with it.
