Configuring H.323 endpoints
You can configure H.323 endpoints to work with the MCU by choosing Endpoints > Add H.323. This
makes it easier to add endpoints to conferences because you can select names from a list rather than
adding network addresses.

A IP VCR can be configured as an H.323 endpoint and added as a participant in a conference. If the
IP VCR is configured to do so, it will start recording as soon as the conference starts. You can also
configure a folder's Recording ID as an endpoint and in this way, when a conference starts, the IP
VCR can start recording directly into a specific folder. For more information about using the IP VCR in
this way, refer to the IP VCR's online help.

Recordings on an IP VCR can be configured as H.323 endpoints. In this way, an audio-only participant
can contribute an IP VCR recording as his video stream (using the associated endpoint function, see

like to view within a conference.

You can configure this endpoint as
needing to be reached via an H.323
gateway without that gateway being
already configured on the MCU. To do
this, set this field to be <gateway
address>!<E.164>. Note that square
brackets are mandatory for IPv6
addresses.
