Option Keys
The following VCS features can be added to your existing system by installing the appropriate
options:
Expressway
•
:
enables the VCS to work as a firewall traversal server
H.323 to SIP Interworking gateway
•
: enables H.323 calls to be translated to SIP and vice versa
User Policy
•
: enables TANDBERG FindMe functionality
Dual Network Interfaces
•
: enables the LAN 2 port
Traversal calls:
•
determines the number of traversal calls allowed on the VCS at any one time. A
traversal call is any call where the VCS is required to take the media as well as the signalling,
i.e. firewall traversal calls, IPv4 to IPv6 calls, and SIP to H.323 calls. Note that traversal calls
that are passing through the VCS from one neighbor to another but where neither endpoint in the
call is locally registered will still be counted as one non-traversal call.
Non-traversal calls
•
: determines the number of non-traversal calls allowed on the VCS at any one
time. A non-traversal call is any call where the VCS is taking the signalling but not the media.
Note that non-traversal calls that are passing through the VCS from one neighbor to another but
where neither endpoint in the call is locally registered will still be counted as one non-traversal
call.
Registrations
•
: the number of concurrent
registrations
allowed on the VCS. An endpoint can
register with more than one alias and this will be considered to be a single registration.
However, an endpoint that supports both SIP and H.323 and registers using both protocols will
count as two registrations. H.323 systems such as gateways, MCUs and Content Servers can
also register with a VCS, and these will each count as one registration.
Your system may have come with one or more of these options pre-configured. Further options
can be installed by obtaining a valid Option Key and installing it on your system. Contact your
TANDBERG representative for more information on how to obtain Option Keys.
Options can be installed in either of two ways:
.
This section describes both methods.

To add a new Option Key to your system:

Adding Options via the CLI
!
When using the CLI to add an extra option key, you can use any unused option index. If you
chose an existing option index, that option will be overwritten and the extra functionality
provided by that option key will no longer exist.
Overview
Some option keys require that the VCS is restarted before the option key will take effect. In
such cases you will receive a warning, which will remain in place as a reminder until the
system has been restarted. However, you can continue to use and configure the VCS in the
meantime.
