RSS2000 Policies and Limitations
Subject
Description
H.323 Alias length
The maximum length of the system H.323 alias name is 16 characters.
Console Service
RS232 configuration: Baud rate 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1, Flow
control OFF.
ONLY ONE connection to the Console service is allowed at any time, either by RS232
or by Telnet, but not both.
Endpoint menu
1. When scheduling a dial out & record from the Web UI, RSS will loopback the video
and NEVER show the menu unless a menu operation command (FECC arrow
keys or DTMF 2/4/6/8) is given from the endpoint.
2. When a pre-defined endpoint dials into the RSS and the endpoint has the
"immediate recording" option, RSS will never show the menu unless a menu
operation command is given.
3. When inviting an endpoint to a P2P recording room (using E.164 number of the
P2P room followed by # or * and E.164 number of the invited endpoint), the inviting
endpoint will view menu and the invited endpoint will not view the menu.
4. When two endpoints meet at a P2P recording room, only one of them can view the
menu at a time.
P2P recording
maximum bandwidth
Maximum bandwidth for a P2P recording room is 1024K. If video protocol for P2P
recording room is H.264, then the maximum bandwidth is 768K.
Archive file size
If the media file size exceeds 4GB, downloads from Web UI may be incomplete.
Media Player
Support
Windows Media Player 9 or above is required..
RealPlayer can also be used if WMP is properly installed.
QuickTime player is not supported.
Some third party media player such as Media Player Classic (MPC) and VLC can also
be used, but they were not tested and are not supported.
Archive playback
Archive playback with WMP does not support playback controls:
Pause/Resume/FF/Backward, etc
H.323 playback
During H.323 playback, if there is packet loss and the endpoint requests an I-Frame,
RSS cannot honor the request because all audio/video data are from the media file
with I-Frames already set.
System Reset
Hard reset (power off and on) is not recommended.
Reset should be done via the Web UI or Console service whenever possible.
LDAP integration
Only Microsoft Active Directory is supported.
H.323 preview
1. Only two H323 devices can utilize archive Preview. This means when there are
2 endpoints previewing on RSS2000, the third endpoint to connect to RSS2000 will
not receive preview. Even if the two endpoints stop receiving preview or
disconnect the third endpoint still cannot receive preview images until it re-
connects to the RSS.
2. HD and SD archives cannot be previewed.
3. No Transcoding for Preview. This means that an archive recorded in H263 will
not be able to be previewed by an endpoint connected in H264 and vice versa.
However, if the endpoint supports both H264 and H263, archive preview will be
available.
4. In a clustered configuration, H.323 endpoint cannot receive a preview image of
an archive that is not stored on the RSS unit that the endpoint is directly connected
to.
Archive Converter
When using the RSS2000ArchiveConverter, the transcoded file loaded back to the
RSS will be limited to 20 FPS.
