RS/6000 Introduction 
17
Workgroup was designed to interoperate with AIX, other UNIX, and 
Windows H.323-based conferencing systems including other desktop 
videoconferencing systems such as Microsoft NetMeeting Version 2.1, 
H.323/PSTN Gateways and Gatekeepers.
  • Scalability
Workgroup supports point-to-point and multiparty calls in a peer-to-peer 
mode. WorkGroup was also designed to participate in large group, 
server-based conferencing sessions.
  • Ease of use
Workgroup features simple point-and-click dialing access to other desktop 
conferencing users with personalized speed-dial or popular directory 
server applications.
Workgroup breaks down the barriers of distance:
  • Workgroup delivers full-function desktop videoconferencing. By simply 
configuring an RS/6000 system with a video capture card, camera, and 
connection to an IP network, Workgroup enables AIX Version 4.3.2 
customers to host small group videoconferencing sessions without the 
expense or complexity of sophisticated videoconferencing equipment or 
conferencing servers.
  • This new IBM application provides easy access to a variety of 
videoconferencing call setup and management features. Using a 
high-level user interface, initiating a person-to-person or multi-party 
Workgroup videoconference call is almost as easy as dialing a telephone 
number. Workgroup features speed-dialing support for frequently called 
locations and an automated call history log that contains an ongoing 
record of all incoming calls. All necessary speaker, microphone, 
do-not-disturb, and video controls are available in an easy-to-use Call 
Center workspace. Local and remote video windows are easily detached 
from the Call Center workspace and can be resized using certain RS/6000 
graphics accelerators, from original size up to full screen video window. 
  • By exploiting a feature-rich implementation of the ITU-T Recommendation 
H.323 Version 2, Workgroup is designed to provide full-function 
videoconferencing and interoperates with other H.323 standards-based 
videoconferencing systems on AIX, other UNIX, and Windows systems. In 
addition, IBM participates in worldwide H.323 interoperability events to 
promote Workgroup compatibility with other videoconferencing systems 
based on this dominant standard for highly interactive, multimedia 
teleconferencing products and services. These H.323 standards, among 
others, are also promoted by the International Multimedia
