AVCM only allows for endpoint discovery up to a /24 subnet (254 endpoints
max or smaller subnet).
AVCM will not
discover the endpoints,
but instead manually
enter them.
When upgrading the 1000 Series Endpoints "Upgrade License expired(15)"
message may be displayed.
Ignore the message.
Licensing is not
required on the 1000
Series Endpoints.
Sequential blind transfer of 10x0 endpoints may drop video.
If video is required
after the transfers, drop
and make a direct call.
After a Session Manager outage, 1010/1020 may take up to 30 minutes to reregister. Incoming calls are blocked while unregistered, but outgoing calls are
accepted and immediately initiate registration.
When you see a red
"SIP" box in the bottom
right hand corner of the
1010/1020 screen, try
manually registering by
making an outgoing
call or by:
1) login to 1010/1020
as admin
2) select
"Communications"
3) select "SIP" and
enter
username/password etc.
if needed and enter IP
for SM you need to
register to.
4) click "Register"
1030/1040/1050 may transmit higher bandwidth than requested. In some
circumstances this can cause 5+ party conferences to fail on the 1050.
Administer 1040/1050
endpoints to send no more
than 2M video.
A video call answered from a bridged Flare endpoint may not get video.
