Table 1-1 Gateway Feature Summary
Feature Description
Interoperability The Gateway provides a high degree of interoperability with other H.323 compliant
gateways, gatekeepers, terminals, proxy, and Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) products by
being based on the H.320 standard and H.323 protocol stack.
Web-based management The Gateway features the Gateway interface. This is a web interface used to configure and
monitor the Gateway. You can view and modify all aspects of the Gateway configuration
from a remote location using a Java-enabled web browser.
SNMP management The Gateway features Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management that
supports all aspects of monitoring, diagnostics, configuration, and trapping.
Diagnostics The Gateway features front and rear panel LED indicators that display status for the unit.
You can also access remote diagnostics of the unit through the Gateway interface, Telnet,
SNMP, or a serial port.
Network load balancing The Gateway supports load balancing on the network by communicating with a gatekeeper
through H.323 RAI (Resource Available Indication)/RAC (Resource Available
Confirmation) messages.
T.120 data collaboration The Gateway supports data transfers in calls between ISDN and IP by using high speed
T.120 in HMLP and VarMLP formats.
Quality of service (QoS) The Gateway features configurable coding of media packets to achieve QoS routing priority
on the Internet Protocol (IP) network. The Type of Service (ToS) bits of the IP datagram
header can be configured for priority level.
Dial plan The Gateway supports a simplified dial plan for outbound dialing using a single universal
prefix. Using the dial plan, the Gateway automatically detects the capabilities received in the
Setup message from the IP endpoint and sets the same bit rate for the ISDN (or serial
interface) side of the call.
