Introduction
This User Manual is provided to help you make the best use of your TANDBERG Border
Controller.
A Border Controller is a key component of TANDBERG’s Expressway
TM
firewall traversal solution.
Used in conjunction with a TANDBERG Gatekeeper or TANDBERG traversal enabled endpoints
it allows calls to be made into and out of a secured private network.
The main features of the TANDBERG Border Controller are:
•
IPv4 and IPv6 support
•
Registration of traversal enabled endpoints.
•
Supports up to 500 registered TANDBERG traversal endpoints.
•
Secure firewall traversal of any firewall or NAT.
•
Up to 100 traversal calls.
•
Supports up to 100 neighboring zones.
•
Flexible zone configuration with prefix and suffix support.
•
URI dialing with DNS enabling global connectivity.
•
Can function as a standalone Border Controller or be neighbored with other Border Con-
trollers and Gatekeepers.
•
Can be used to control the amount of bandwidth used both within the Border Controller
zone and to neighboring Border Controllers and Gatekeepers.
•
Can limit total bandwidth usage and set maximum per call bandwidth usage with automatic
down-speeding if call exceeds per-call maximum.
•
Can be managed with TANDBERG Management Suite 11.0 or newer, or as a standalone
system with RS-232, Telnet, SSH, HTTP and HTTPS.
•
Embedded setup wizard on serial port for initial configuration.
Note that features may vary depending on software package.
