H.323 Endpoint Naming Convention (Suggested) |
|
Fixed Endpoints
|
Mobile Endpoints
|
We recommend using dashes as a separator instead of underscores as the underscores are not compatible with all end-point equipment.
K-20 H.323 Loop Back Port
- Dial : 0310609
Will only work if you have registered with the K-20 Gatekeeper as outlined below
K-20 Gatekeeper
- K-20 Gatekeeper IP address: 68.179.206.20
- DNS name: gk.wa-k20.net
This IP address will replace the existing address of 68.179.206.20, though both will work in the interim. Some Endpoint equipment will only accept IP addresses for the "gatekeeper" entry. Gatekeeper registration information is available at the K-20 Education Network Portal
Cisco PIX Firewall Ports for H.323 IVC
389 (LDAP)
1503 1720 (H.323) 1731 3230-3235 (VS 512, PVX, VSX 7000, VSX 8000) 3603 |
1718 (gateway)
1719 (gateway) 3230-3235 (VS 512, PVX) 3230-3248 (VSX 8000) 3230-3253 (VSX 7000) |
Polycom PVX-specific note: Under the “Network” tab, enable the “Use the External (WAN) IP Address”, then check the box for “Use fixed ports”, and then check “Use the PC’s Local IP Address”. This will cause the “Use fixed ports” option to be active, even though it appears to be grayed-out.
Make sure that you check your vendor’s support website for the latest software and firmware updates.
If you have trouble connecting, try disabling AES encryption. On host-based software codecs (i.e. Polycom PVX), if you get a “low-resource” or CPU warning, try re-booting the host system. In your other considerations, do not overlook bandwidth management, especially with the recent proliferation of host-based software codecs, as it is easy to totally saturate a T1 with H.323 traffic if you do not have some limiting mechanism in place.
Check out www.polycom.com for some excellent white papers on the technical considerations of H.323 implementation. Also check out K-20's Webiste for additional information . This document will be posted and updated as more information becomes available on our website.
On an ISDN-related note, if you are connecting a Polycom VSX 7000 to an Ascend/Lucent Imux and are unable to complete a call, make sure that “System”, “Admin Settings”, “Network”, “V.35/RS-449/RS-530”, page 3 of 5, “CTS” is set to “Ignore”. This is not really an H.323 issue, just some hard-won piece of information that I thought we would share.
