

Static IP: The IP address of the terminal is assigned by the network administrator. If this mode is selected, you must enter the local IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address.



Dynamic IP: The terminal automatically obtains the IP address from the network. If this mode is selected, you do not need to set other parameters.



PPPoE: The terminal accesses the broadband network in dial-up mode, such as the Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL). If the Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) mode is selected, you must set the user name and the password.

These specify the IP address and subnet mask of the terminal.

The main IP address and the alternate IP address must be in different network segments. The alternate IP address and the IP address of the gatekeeper (GK) must be in different network segments.

If the connection type is set to Static IP, the IP address of the domain name service (DNS) server is available to be set. After the IP address of the DNS server is set, domain names can be used for the GK server address and the SIP server address. The DNS server will translate the domain name to the IP addresses of the GK server and the SIP server.

3.3.3 Setting H.323 Parameters

The H.323 parameters must be set when the GK is used in the conference system.

The GK is the network isolator of the videoconferencing system and is used to manage the network bandwidth, terminal authentication, and address translation. It enables calls to be made to fixed site names and not to variable IP addresses.

To set the terminal's H.323 parameters, do the following:

Step 1 Choose Settings > Network > IP > H.323, and then set the parameters listed in Table 3-4.

Table 3-4 H.323 parameters

Parameter Description

Enable GK This specifies whether the terminal registers with the GK.



If this parameter is enabled, the terminal registers with the GK after startup. After the terminal registers with the GK successfully, it can call a remote site using the site number, site name (defined in the address book), or IP address. For a conference attended by IP sites, the GK must be used.



If this parameter is disabled, the terminal does not register with the GK, and it can call a remote site using only the IP address.

GK address This specifies the IP address of the server where the GK is installed.

This specifies the name that is used by the GK to identify a terminal registered with it.

The name can consist of digits and letters.

This specifies the password used by a terminal to register with the GK. The GK authenticates the validity of a terminal by checking this password.

NOTE

For successful GK authentication, the password set on the terminal should be the same as the preset password on the GK.

If Use VoIP gateway is selected, VoIP gateway address must be set. Then you can place calls to terminals connected to the VoIP gateway.

3.3.4 Setting SIP Parameters

When the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is used for video communications, the SIP parameters of the terminal, such as whether to register with the SIP server, must be set.

To set the terminal's SIP parameters, do the following:

Step 1 Choose Settings > Network > IP > SIP, and then set the parameters listed in Table 3-5.

Table 3-5 SIP parameters

Parameter Description



Enable: After the terminal is registered with the SIP server successfully, it can call a remote site using the site number, site name, or IP address.



Disable:The terminal does not register with the SIP server, and it can call another site using only the IP address.

Server address This specifies the IP address of the SIP server.

Proxy server address

Conference Service Number

Site number

When the terminal needs to register with the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) for deploying services, enable the proxy server and set its address.

NOTE

Borne by the standard IP protocol, the IMS uses voice over IP (VoIP) applications based on the standard SIP applications of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to provide fixed and mobile multimedia services for operators.

The proxy server needs to forward the registration request from the terminal to the SIP server in the IMS network when the terminal is registering with the IMS network.

Before initiating a conference from the terminal on an IMS network, you must set this parameter and ensure that the terminal setting is consistent with the setting on the IMS network device. The conference service number can be obtained from the administrator of the IMS network device.

This specifies the site number of the local terminal. When the local terminal is registered with the SIP server, another terminal can call the local terminal using this site number. The site number can contain only digits.

The user name is used by the SIP server to identify the local terminal after the terminal is registered with the SIP server. The user name and the password can contain only digits and letters.

Step 2 Save the settings.

3.3.5 Setting SNMP Parameters

When the terminal needs to be managed by the MediaManager remotely, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) parameters of the terminal must be set.

The terminal communicates with the ViewPoint MediaManager (MediaManager for short), which is the software for managing network elements over SNMP. Considered as a network element, the terminal is managed by the MediaManager remotely. Using the MediaManager, the following operations can be performed on the terminal:



Setting terminal parameters, such as IP parameters, H.323/SIP parameters, E1/4E1 parameters, firewall parameters, network address book parameters, video input parameters, video output parameters, audio input parameters, and whether to enable Web access



Importing records to or exporting records from the network address book



Querying terminal status



Querying the terminal alarms



Diagnosing the network faults on the terminal



Enabling SNMP allows the administrator to manage the terminal remotely using the MediaManager.

This specifies the read-only SNMP community name. The character string can consist of any characters on the keyboard and its length ranges from 0 to 32 characters. The SNMP version and the corresponding protocol parameters on the network management side need to be consistent with those on the terminal side.

This specifies the read-write SNMP community name. The character string can consist of any characters on the keyboard and its length ranges from 0 to 32 characters. The SNMP version and the corresponding protocol parameters on the network management side need to be consistent with those on the terminal side.

This specifies the IP address that receives trap packets and is the IP address of the computer where the service client of the videoconferencing network management system is installed.

A trap is a message sent from a device being managed (for example, a terminal) to the videoconferencing network management system. The message is used to report emergent and important events. Trap packets are sent to a preset target trap device.

For details about the videoconferencing network management system, see the HUAWEI iManager V2000 User Manual.
