Features & Benefits
Polycom OneDial
– Hides all the confusing numbers, prefixes, codes, and
network options (IP or ISDN) required to place your call; users simply select
a name from a directory or enter a phone number-like 'alias' to launch a call
Conference On-Demand*
– Enables any Polycom video endpoint to dial
multiple endpoints, turning any endpoint into an on-demand multipoint
system (*Requires Polycom Readi
Convene
or MGC™)
Policy Management
– Administrators can create policy management
parameters to control bandwidth through segments of their video networks,
apply network policies, and manage access to resources based on individual,
group, or corporate-wide settings
Auto ISDN provisioning
– Allows for auto provisioning of DID (ISDN) and
E.164 numbers for automated deployment of video endpoints
Increased availability and security
– Flags all call attempts from unreg-
istered endpoints and allows administrators to predetermine whether the
calls are automatically denied access; administrators can also keep NAT IP
addresses confidential, preventing internal IP addresses from being accessed
or sent outside the firewall
RTP Statistics
– Provides packet loss, jitter, and latency-over-time stats
to help analyze video call quality over the network
Alternate Gatekeeper Support
– Provides greater network availability
if the primary gatekeeper should fail or become inaccessible due to
network failure
Sophisticated Dial Plan Support
– Enables a higher level of network
security by controlling the routing and blocking of certain calls
