C) Using the VidyoGateway

This is the default configuration for Services on the VidyoGateway.

Incoming are the prefixes for calling from Legacy AVC EndPoints to Vidyo SVC EndPoints.

Outgoing are the prefixes for calling from Vidyo SVC Clients to Legacy AVC EndPoints.

Page 11 of 15



The following procedures show how to connect to the VidyoGateway™.

There are 2 “types” of calls: Incoming and outgoing. The following discusses both options:

Incoming calls Connecting SIP legacy equipment to the VidyoGateway™ should be performed using the following procedure.

On the Vidyo equipment

Login to your account on your VidyoPortal™. Choose a room on the VidyoPortal. Example for this can be ‘Jeff’

On the legacy equipment

Make sure that the legacy equipment supports SIP {ensure SIP is enabled and set to UDP}. Establish a connection to the VidyoGateway™ . This should be accomplished using the

following setup: Signaling protocol: SIP SIP registrar – none Speed (if required – 384). This parameter is NOT needed in SIP, but a few legacy

equipment require that this be set. In order to reach that particular Vidyo Conference, the legacy endpoint should dial the

following /SIP URIs, according to the example above: o For sending Audio only: 1jeff@{your Vidyo Gateway IP or URL} o For sending CIF resolution: 2jeff@{your Vidyo Gateway IP or URL} o For sending SD resolution: 3jeff@{your Vidyo Gateway IP or URL} o For sending HD resolution: 4jeff@{your Vidyo Gateway IP or URL}

Whereas 1,2,3,4 are prefixes to Audio only, CIF, SD and HD respectively.

This address would take the entering participant directly to the existing conference (e.g ‘Jeff’ ). Any conference name can be used, but the following rules must be maintained:

The conference name MUST be defined as in the system. The conference must be active BEFORE any legacy equipment dials in.

Placing an outgoing call Placing an outgoing call is done in 2 ways:

For example calling a legacy endpoint at the following IP address: 192.168.1.2

Placing an outgoing call is done using a different set of prefix:

Res Outgoing prefix Resulting string Audio 5 5192.168.1.2 CIF 6 6192.168.1.2 SD 7 7192.168.1.2 HD 8 8192.168.1.2

NOTE: You may also assign a DNS name for your Legacy EPs and dial the URL instead of IP address.

From the ‘Place a call’ box use the ’Call’ button and then select “Call Direct”

See example below:

Then press the Call Direct button:
