3 Version 2.1 Features

After you unpack and install your PictureTel 210 Terminal Adaptor you will discover the many
new and exciting features in 2.1, including:

!"The 210 TA is now fully H.323 version 2.0 compliant.
!"The following bit rates are supported (restricted bit rates are now included): 2x56 Kbps,

2x64 Kbps, 112 Kbps , 128 Kbps, 224 Kbps, 256 Kbp s, 336 Kbps, 384 Kbps, 672 Kb ps,
and 768 Kbps.

Note: The Concorde must have a rev 3 vCP card in the system to handle
768Kb conferences. To determine if the current card will work at 768Kb,
reboot the system and watch the start-up tests. If the vCP is shown in all
caps (VCP) then it is an older card and must be replaced. A good card will be
shown with a lower case v (vCP).

!"Support for G.722 audio coding in the following bit rates: 336 Kbps, 384 Kbps, 672 Kbps,

and 768 Kbps.

!"The Configuration, Remote diagnostics, Telnet, FTP and Upload utilities are now

protected by utilizing the same (configurable) user name and password.

!"Dialing profiles for the 210 TA have been changed: a list of predefined bandwidth profiles

is preset for setting the bandwi dth of incoming and outgoing calls, as shown below (see
Chapter 6 of the VIU-323 User Guide for further information). The use of a dialing prefix
to indicate the required bandwidth profile eases the operation of the 210 TA in that
mode. (For the configurable port default bandwidth, a prefix is not needed.)

4 Fixed Bugs

!"There was a problem working with third-party gatekeepers in Direct Mode. This has been

fixed.

5 Known Issues

!"T.120 does not work with the Concorde or Venue. It must be disabled or there will be

video problems.

!"LiveLans will freeze if you try to connect with a 210 TA.
!"When using NetConference, it is best to set up the conference at 384Kb, QCIF, 15 FPS.

If you set the 210 TA to 768Kb, you wont get video.

!"When connecting to an Accord MCU, you must choose Audio algorithms G.711 or G.728.
!"To enable interzone calls to a 210 TA registered to a Cisco MCM Gatekeeper, the 210 TA

has to be registered with the MCM with its zone prefix followed by the dial in number
(instead of using the number only). For example, if the zone prefix is 2 and the 210 TA
phone number is 789, the 210 TA should be reconfigured at the MCM to have a phone
number 2789.

!"When performing configuration using a terminal, default values are not entered

automatically by pressing ENTER. The default values must be retyped into the system
before pressing ENTER.
