Avaya Video Telephony Solution
364 Hardware Guide for Avaya Communication Manager
Connectivity
The Video Telephony components connect to the customer’s LAN which then interconnects all
the components. Media streams between devices travel directly across the LAN. The streams
do not traverse any of the signaling components. These components may include Avaya
Communication Manager or a Polycom gatekeeper. These components may have been used to
establish the streams.
Each of the video capable devices register with an H.323 gatekeeper. Avaya Communication
Manager can be used for:
● Avaya IP Softphone with Avaya Video Integrator and Polycom
®
video,
● Polycom MGC multipoint control unit, and
● Polycom VSX.
The gatekeeper for Polycom Viewstation is either the Polycom PathNavigator gatekeeper or a
third party gatekeeper.
Other H.323 compliant audio and video devices might function in this configuration, but none
are Avaya supported. The H.323 components connect through the LAN. The H.320
components connect through the circuit switched ISDN BRI.
