WHAT’S NEW IN VERSION 7

PathNavigator has several new features that greatly enrich its cooperative deployment

possibilities, see the list below. In addition, PathNavigator has also several additions and

enhancements over version 5 giving the user more information for diagnostics, better

resolution handling and improved performance.

RTP Statistics - Monitor latency, jitter or packet loss real time for determining

Quality of Service (QoS) for endpoints that support H.460.9. The V-Series

software code that will support H.460.9 will be released in December 2004.

Extended Error Messaging- PathNavigator will send proprietary codes to the

VSX that will be interpreted in lay man terms to the end user why the call cannot

connect or why it disconnected. The V-Series software code that will support this

proprietary mechanism will be released in December 2004.

Windows Server 2003 - Support for the latest Windows server platform.

Upgrade PathNavigator and the Server OS

Firewall Traversal support –Enables customers who have deployed either a

Cisco PIX or Edgewater Networks EdgeMarc SBC to allow inbound and outbound

calls to traverse their enterprise firewall. This important new feature extends IP

video conferencing from internal calling scenarios only to include external to

internal video conferencing without the requirement of ISDN.

Bandwidth Authorization – This feature ensures that calls scheduled through

Polycom Conference Suite are assured to go through if adhoc calls are placed.

Before a nonscheduled call can be placed, PathNavigator will check with Polycom

Conference Suite to see if there are scheduled calls within the default call limit

specified in Polycom Conference Suite. If there are no scheduled calls, Polycom

Conference Suite will tell PathNavigator that the call can go through.

ENHANCEMENTS IN VERSION 7

New Licensing Mechanism

PathNavigator will no longer recognize authentication codes prefixed with PNA.

Upgrade key codes will be sent via email to customers who are under warranty.

Please refer to the Licensing section in this document for more information.

Resolution of prefixes

PathNavigator used to resolve prefixes by looking at the shortest match. So if a

single digit prefix existed, PathNavigator will ignore the double digits for numbers

starting with that same single digit prefix. Now PathNavigator will perform the

longest prefix match before trying to resolve the address. So smaller digit

combinations for services and aliases are now usable in PathNavigator.

CDR Enhancements

PathNavigator has now more information in a Call Detail Record Report. The

fields below are available in the new tab area for each generated report.

Additional CDR changes

•Record change for duration of a call. In version 7, the duration of the call is

now changed to reflect the connected time of the call instead of including the

time it takes for call initiation and disconnection.

Polycom, the Polycom logo design and ViewStation are registered trademarks, PathNavigator, Global Management System, and

iPower are trademarks of Polycom, Inc. in the United States and various other countries. All other trademarks are the property of

respective owners

•Additional filter for a CDR query has been added. Calls can be filtered based

on choosing whether the selected endpoint is the source, destination or both.

•Export all records in CSV – This will export the raw data as shown in the

database. Note: The IP addresses will be unrecognizable and will need to be

converted using a hex converter. A mini application has been included to

help convert the IP address from numerical format to IP address format. It

can be found in the System_Update_Resources folder once PathNavigator has

been extracted.

Enhanced Routing Capabilities

•PathNavigator now supports H.245 routing. The routing is not configurable

and set to system defaults.

Other Changes

•The VPN/Internet network now has an upper limit bandwidth defaulted to –

2147 Tbps and the max bit rate for per call is 2147 Tbps. This value may be

adjusted downward.

•PathNavigator can now bind to a specific Network Interface Card (NIC) when

the server that is running PathNavigator has more than 1 NIC.

SETTING UP THE ABILITY TO CREATE REMOTE VIDEO CALLS THROUGH YOUR

ENTERPRISE VPN

These instructions illustrate how to setup calling from a remote site that is part of an

enterprise VPN. Small Office Home Office Users that have their endpoints registered through

the VPN to their enterprise PathNavigator will now be able to create calls.

1. When using ViaVideo (Release ver 5.1) that is connected to a VPN network, the “Use

VPN Address or Secondary Network Adapter:” and the “Automatically detect VPN

address…” must be selected. See pictures below.

iPower are trademarks of Polycom, Inc. in the United States and various other countries. All other trademarks are the property of

respective owners

2. Set ports 1719 and 1720 to port forward to the ViaVideo Desktop on the home

router.

Note: ViaVideo may register to PathNavigator as soon as the device has started and

before a new VPN address can be discovered. In this case, the ViaVideo will have to

wait until the first registration expires (or go offline) before it can re-register with the

new VPN IP.

Registering ViaVideo

1. Go to Setup.

2. Click on the H323 tab.

3. On the Gatekeeper area, select Off and then select Specify.

After you have completed all of the above steps, ViaVideo can create remote calls through

the VPN.

use.

7. Click Generate and the key code will appear.

8. Either print the page or write down the License Number, Serial Number and Key

Code. You must have this information to install your software.

Upgrading to Version 7

Key codes will only be administered to customers who are under a maintenance contract

that entitles them to software updates and technical support. If you are under maintenance

and have not received a key, please do the following:

1. Register your product serial number at the Polycom Resource Center by going to the
