Cisco Systems 3527 PRI Guide De Montage

 lists the major features of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3500 Gateway.

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.

Direct dialing and call routing

The gateway dial plan supports these direct dialing and call routing facilities:

Direct Inward Dialing (DID)

Multiple Subscriber Network (MSN)

Q.931 Sub-addressing Information Element

Internal and External Interactive Voice Response (IVR)

TCS4

Default extension

Access control

The gateway features password-controlled access to the gateway interface. You 
can define up to ten different administrator access profiles for the gateway.

DTMF translation

The gateway supports translation between in-band Dual Tone Multi-Frequency 
(DTMF) signals (on the ISDN side) and out-of-band H.245 messages (on the IP 
side). DTMF translation occurs for voice and video calls.
