I. H.323 Version 2 Compliance
H.323 Version 2 compliance allows Version 2 endpoints and gatekeepers to interoperate more
reliably and with greater flexibility. LiveManager 4.01 is compliant with the H.323 version 2
standard.
Mandatory version 2 features are supported:
•
CallIdentifier
•
Request In Progress
In addition, some optional version 2 features are supported:
•
Reliable IRR
•
Alternate Gatekeeper
•
Gateway Resource Availability
LiveManager 4.01 will operate with H.323 version 1 and version 2 endpoints and gatekeepers.
II. Gatekeeper Routed Call Signaling
This version of LiveManager will route Q.931 Call Set-up and H.245 Call Control signals through
the gatekeeper. This will allow for the future addition of advanced call switching capabilities and
features.
III. Web Browser Based User Interface
The management and configuration console is now a browser based user interface. This allows
remote access to any LiveManager 4.01 gatekeeper service on the network from a Web browser.
On a typical network, you may install the LiveManager Web UI service on one NT server running
IIS 4.0. This one server will support access to all LiveManager 4.01 gatekeeper servers on the
network. Just launch a browser on a PC on the network, type in the URL of the PictureTel Web
Center you’ve installed on the Web server and you’ll have access to the LiveManager 4.01 console.
The format of the URL is:
http:\\[Web UI server’s host name]\PictureTel\PictureTelWebCenter\wchome.html
