Registration.
Intermittently when the ViewStation FX version 5.0 registers to
PathNavigator the “Use PathNavigator to Dial Multipoint Call” selection doesn’t
appear in the ViewStation FX Gatekeeper setup screen. This can be fixed by selecting
the ViewStation FX from the Monitor > Endpoints list page and clicking “Unregister”
and “Yes.”
5.
Login to Redundant Server
. Since the setup of a redundant PathNavigator
prompts and requires a password during the initial login may result in different
passwords between the primary PathNavigator and the redundant PathNavigator.
This may cause confusion when logging into the endpoint’s gatekeeper IP address
and not knowing which PathNavigator is being pointed to. To circumvent this
problem and avoid confusion, it is best to have the same login account for both the
primary and redundant PathNavigators.
6.
Interoperability issues
. Running BrightStor ARCserve Backup Agent causes the
PathNavigator server to render itself inoperable every few hours.
7.
Netmeeting participants.
When PathNavigator is in Routed Mode, a Netmeeting
dial-in participant can only get into an ongoing conference by dialing the MCU service
or the MCU's alias. When PathNavigator is in Direct Mode, a Netmeeting dial-in
participant can only get into an ongoing conference is by the MCU's IP address.
Netmeeting participants cannot dial Conference on Demand.
8.
Alias limitation.
The number of aliases per endpoint is limited to 450. If an
endpoint registers with more than 450 aliases, this will hinder the ability of
PathNavigator to process each registration message to nearly 1/10 of a second. If
PathNavigator or a device like an EdgeMarc, which serves as a proxy to
PathNavigator for endpoints and therefore contains many aliases, were to reboot
then PathNavigator’s performance will be hindered. If PathNavigator were to reboot
and the EdgeMarc serves as a proxied registrant, there may be a lag in reboot time
for PathNavigator.
9.
Call Forwarding.
When an EdgeMarc is deployed as part of the firewall traversal
solution, the forwarding feature is not operational from endpoints registered with the
EdgeMarc.
