Term
Definition
ENUM zone
On the VCS, a zone used to configure access to endpoints located via ENUM.
External manager
The remote system that is used to manage endpoints and network infrastructure. The TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) is an example of an external manager.
External zone
Any zone configured on the local VCS that connects out to a remote system or the internet. Neighbor, traversal server, traversal client, ENUM and DNS zones are all
external zones.
Firewall traversal
The act of crossing a firewall or NAT device.
FindMe™
A TANDBERG feature that allows users to have a single alias on which they can be reached regardless of the endpoint(s) they are currently using.
FQDN
Fully Qualified Domain Name
A domain name that specifies the node’s position in the DNS tree absolutely, uniquely identifying the system or device. Note that in order to use FQDNs instead of
IP addresses when configuring the VCS, you must have at least one DNS server configured.
Gatekeeper
A device used to control H.323 multimedia networks. An example is the TANDBERG Gatekeeper.
Gatekeeper zone
A collection of all the endpoints, gateways and MCUs managed by a single gatekeeper.
H.323
A standard that defines the protocols used for packet-based multimedia communications systems.
HTTP
Hypertext Transfer Protocol
A protocol used for communications over the internet.
HTTPS
Hypertext Transfer Protocol over
Secure Socket Layer
A protocol used for secure communications over the internet, combining HTTP with TLS.
Hop count
The maximum number of gatekeeper or SIP proxy devices (e.g. a VCS) that a message may be forwarded through before it is decided that its intended recipient is not
reachable.
ICE
Interactive Connectivity Establishment
A collaborative algorithm that works together with STUN services (and other NAT traversal techniques) to allow clients to achieve firewall traversal. This is the
emerging traversal standard for use by SIP endpoints (although it could be used for other protocols).
IETF
Internet Engineering Task Force
An organization that defines (via documents such as RFCs) the protocol standards and best practices relating to the design, use and management of the internet.
Interworking
Allowing H.323 systems to connect to SIP systems.
IPv4
Internet Protocol version 4
Version 4 of the Internet Protocol, defined in
RFC 791 [18]
.
IPv6
Internet Protocol version 6
Version 6 of the Internet Protocol, defined in
RFC 2460 [19]
.
IRQ
Information Request
A request sent to an endpoint requesting information about its status.
LAN
Local Area Network
A geographically limited computer network, usually with a high bandwidth throughput.
LDAP
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
A protocol for accessing on-line directories running over TCP/IP.
