Administering Avaya Video Conferencing Solution 6.0.1 Issue 2.1 April 15,
● Polycom, Tandberg, and Avaya SIP and H.323 endpoints.
This solution allows multivendor video devices to operate with Avaya video devices. In this
configuration, both H.323 and SIP devices connect through Session Manager, and
Communication Manager must be configured as an evolution server. As with the H.323-only
configuration, the Polycom RMX gateway connects through either Communication Manager or
the Polycom CMA gatekeeper but not both. However, for Release 6.1, the Polycom RMX
gateway connects to both Communication Manager and the Polycom CMA gatekeeper.
Combined H.323 and SIP video solution
on page 14 illustrates this configuration.
Polycom RMX registered through Communication Manager means:
● it can host ad hoc video conferences
● it dials out using E.164 alias dialing.
Polycom RMX registered through Polycom CMA means:
● it dials out using IP addresses or E.164 aliases
● it supports encryption to the devices registered to the Polycom CMA.
This configuration represents what is currently available for video conferencing in a combined
H.323 and SIP solution.
