About Gateway Features

Table 1-1 lists the major features of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3500 Gateway.

Ta b l e 1-1 Gateway Feature Summary

Feature Description

Interoperability The gateway provides a high degree of interoperability with other H.323

compliant gateways, gatekeepers, terminals, proxy, and Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) products by being based on the H.320 standard and H.323 protocol stack.

Web-based management The gateway features the gateway interface. This is a web interface used to

configure and monitor the gateway. You can view and modify all aspects of the gateway configuration from a remote location using a Java-enabled web browser.

SNMP management The gateway features Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

management that supports all aspects of monitoring, diagnostics, configuration, and trapping.

Diagnostics The gateway features front and rear panel LED indicators that display status for

the unit. You can also access remote diagnostics of the unit through the gateway interface, Telnet, SNMP, or a serial port.

Network load balancing The gateway supports load balancing on the network by communicating with a

gatekeeper through H.323 RAI (Resource Available Indication)/RAC (Resource Available Confirmation) messages.

T.120 data collaboration The gateway supports data transfers in calls between ISDN and IP by using high

speed T.120 in HMLP and VarMLP formats.

Quality of service (QoS) The gateway features configurable coding of media packets to achieve QoS

routing priority on the Internet Protocol (IP) network. The Type of Service (ToS) bits of the IP datagram header can be configured for priority level.

Dial plan The gateway supports a simplified dial plan for outbound dialing using a single

universal prefix. Using the dial plan, the gateway automatically detects the capabilities received in the Setup message from the IP endpoint and sets the same bit rate for the ISDN (or serial interface) side of the call.

Direct dialing and call routing The gateway dial plan supports these direct dialing and call routing facilities:

• Direct Inward Dialing (DID)

–

Multiple Subscriber Network (MSN)

–

Q.931 Sub-addressing Information Element

Internal and External Interactive Voice Response (IVR)

• TCS4

• Default extension

Access control The gateway features password-controlled access to the gateway interface. You

can define up to ten different administrator access profiles for the gateway.

DTMF translation The gateway supports translation between in-band Dual Tone Multi-Frequency

(DTMF) signals (on the ISDN side) and out-of-band H.245 messages (on the IP side). DTMF translation occurs for voice and video calls.

About Gateway Features

Table 1-1 Gateway Feature Summary (continued)

Feature Description

Dual video The gateway supports H.239 standards-based dual video and TANDBERG

DuoVideo technology. Dual video streams enable a screen to carry video images from one source while simultaneously displaying images from a second source.

Conceal caller ID The gateway supports a conceal caller ID feature that instructs the gatekeeper to

conceal the identity of the calling endpoint on the IP or ISDN network, whether the presentation restricted feature is enabled or not.

H.323 fast start The gateway H.323 fast start feature enables endpoints to join a voice conference

in the gateway more quickly.

ISDN rollover (available in Cisco Unified Videoconferencing

3527 PRI Gateway

only)

The gateway features ISDN rollover. In this feature, the gateway sends a “busy out” channel request to the PSTN switch when the current PRI connection is left with less than a predefined number of available B channels. The PSTN switch “rolls over” to the next available gateway.

Network Specific Facility (available in Cisco

Unified

Videoconferencing

3527 PRI Gateway

only)

The gateway provides support for Network Specific Facility Information Elements (NSF IEs) which enable system administrators to specify to service providers the equipment, service, or network through which they want a call routed.

ISDN connection failure The gateway responds to ISDN connection failure events, by unregistering from

its gatekeeper. The gatekeeper is forced to send new IP-to-ISDN calls through a different gateway, thus ensuring high call completion rates. The gateway re-registers to the gatekeeper when the ISDN connection is restored.

Downspeeding The gateway features downspeeding functionality. In the downspeeding feature,

the gateway attempts to reconnect a disconnected video call either at a lower bandwidth or as a voice call. Downspeeding contributes to a higher percentage of call completion on the network. The gateway supports downspeeding at call setup

and in mid-call. Multiple trap server support The gateway supports up to three SNMP trap servers. H.239 support The gateway supports the H.239 protocol in ISDN-to-IP calls and in IP-to-ISDN

calls. Encryption support The gateway supports H.235-compliant AES 128 encryption for calls over IP

networks, and H.233 and H.234-compliant AES 128 encryption for calls over

ISDN networks. H.243 Conference Control support The gateway supports the H.243 protocol in ISDN-to-IP calls and in IP-to-ISDN

calls. The gateway identifies the protocol version that an IP endpoint uses and

sends H.239 capabilities only to those endpoints working with protocol version

4.0 or later.

Peer-to-peer connectivity The gateway supports connectivity to the IP network through a gatekeeper, or

directly to a peer device such as Cisco

Unified Communications Manager.

IP network connections The gateway has one 10/100Base-T Ethernet IP port (on the front panel) and

connects to an IP segment through a direct connection to a network switch.

About Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3500 Gateway Applications and Topologies

About Multipoint Conferencing

Together with the Cisco MCU, the Cisco PRI gateway and BRI gateway enable H.320 ISDN terminals to participate in a mixed ISDN-IP multipoint multimedia conference with IP network endpoints (see

Figure 1-3).

For example, when an H.320 ISDN terminal wants to participate in a multipoint conference with H.323 IP endpoints, the H.320 ISDN terminal can either join the multipoint conference by dialing to the gateway, or be invited into the conference by one of the participating IP endpoints. In either case, the gateway connects the ISDN terminal to the Cisco MCU, enabling it to participate in the multipoint conference.

About Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3500 Gateway Functionality

About Gateway Call Bandwidth Overhead

According to the H.320 standard, the available bandwidth allocated to a call at any given bit rate will always be slightly less than the stated maximum for the following reasons:

• All stated maximum call bandwidths include provision for control, audio, video, and data traffic.

• Video traffic on the ISDN side contains additional bits for error correction purposes which also

consume bandwidth. Video traffic on the IP side does not include this additional load.

• Opening an audio channel further reduces the bandwidth available to the video traffic.

For example, a call at 384 Kbps actually has only 363 Kbps available to it. Control and error correction account for the remaining 21 Kbps.

Resource Allocation across E1/T1 Lines

The gateway can allocate bandwidth resources to calls across separate E1 or T1 connections to maximize bandwidth capacity in cases where there is not enough capacity for a call on a single E1 or T1 connection, but where sufficient capacity does exist when remaining capacity on both E1/T1 lines is combined.

For example, a gateway using two T1 lines can support three 6B calls on each T1 line, with 320 Kbps spare capacity per line:

• Each T1 line provides 23 B channels.

Chapter 1 Functionality

• Each B channel supports 64 Kbps

• Each T1 line supports 23 x 64 = 1472 Kbps

• Each 6B call requires 6 x 64 = 384 Kbps

• Each T1 line supports 1472/384 = 3 6B calls + 320 Kbps spare

The gateway processes an additional 6B call requiring a further 384 Kbps by taking bandwidth resources from each of the two T1 lines, both of which have 320 Kbps available. In this way, the gateway spreads the call over both T1 lines.

About Peer-to-Peer Connectivity

The gateway supports the following types of connectivity to the IP network

• Through a gatekeeper

• Directly to a peer device such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager without the need for a

gatekeeper.

Preparing for Installation of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing

The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3522 BRI Gateway prepares the signaling for outbound videoconference calls that are transmitted over Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) networks. For videoconference information to arrive at its destination, you must work with the BRI service provider to ensure that the gateway and the ISDN service are compatible. You must gather information about the service provider equipment and provide the service provider with information about the gateway.

Before you order BRI service or connect the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3522 BRI Gateway to your existing BRI service, we suggest that you gather the following information.

Procedure

Step 1 Identify the ISDN provider you want to use as your Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) for local calls.

The LEC is the local telephone company that provides ISDN services for your local calling area and to which your equipment connects.

Step 2 Identify the ISDN provider you want to use as your Interexchange Carrier (IEC) for long-distance calls.

The IEC and the LEC are different companies. Often the LEC will contact the IEC and provision long-distance service for you. Verify that your LEC performs this task, and contact an IEC if the LEC does not.

Step 3 Determine how many BRI lines you want to connect to the gateway. Step 4 Identify the ISDN equipment or signaling format your LEC uses.

Step 5 Determine whether you want to use layer 1 line hunting. Step 6 Have your ISDN service provider turn off the following switch settings:

• Packet Mode Data on the D channel

• Terminal Display Text

• EKTS

• Call Appearances
