6System Overview

System Overview

HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER

The HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER is a multipoint connection

unit (MCU) that is in complete compliance with the H.323 protocol. It is

compatible with multipoint voice synthesis, voice-activated video switching,

etc., and provides central management of functions used for creating,

scheduling and editing meetings. An H.323 gatekeeper is also embedded in the

Meeting Server.

PC Endpoint

PC Endpoint is H.323 client software to be installed on a computer.

Installing the software on a computer allows that computer to connect to the

HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER. By operating Meeting Manager

on the computer, you can display up to 16 screens and share Office documents

and video files, in addition to communicating online with meeting participants.

For more information on PC Endpoint, refer to the operating instructions for

PC Endpoint.

Firewall Traversal

By using Firewall Traversal, you can traverse firewalls and NAT without a

VPN and communicate online between different local networks.

To use Firewall Traversal, a dedicated firewall/NAT traversal server (hereafter

referred to as “FT server”) must be set up on the same local network as the HD

VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER.

In addition, to use Firewall Traversal from an H.323 terminal, an FT group

client must be set up on the same local network as that terminal.

For more information on firewall/NAT traversal servers and FT group clients,

consult your local dealer.

VISUAL

COMMUNICATION

SERVER Overview

7Meetings

Chapter 1: HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER Overview

Meetings

A “Meeting” that takes place within the HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION

SERVER system is a virtual space or location for conducting communications.

This is the equivalent of a conference room in traditional video conferencing

systems.

Meeting types can either be “Normal” or “Presentation”. Users can select

which type of meeting they wish, according to their requirements.

Online communication provided by HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION

SERVER enables meetings to be held among several individuals or person-to-

person (one-on-one).

Meetings involving several members must first be registered by the system

administrator.

Person-to-person meetings can be undertaken using direct communications via

an H.323 Alias or E.164 Number.

Type Explanation

Normal The standard HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER meeting

type.

No User serves as the meeting administrator. All meeting participants

have the same privileges.

Presentation The general term for meetings with controlled audio communications.

Access VC ONLINE via a web browser, and permit speaking by using

the [Control Panel].

There are two types of participants in this meeting type, each having

different privileges. The meeting [Chairman] operates the meeting on

behalf of the “General Users.”

The meeting Chairman can change the meeting mode by granting

General Users permission to speak.

Open Forum: Participants can hear the Chairman and those the

Chairman has granted permission to speak.

Side Meeting: Only the Chairman and those the Chairman has

granted permission to speak can hear each other. Conversations cannot

be heard by participants who have not been granted permission to

speak.

Presenting: Only the Chairman can be heard by all participants.

Lecture: Under default conditions, only the Chairman can be heard

by all participants. In such cases, the video of the Chairman and those

specified by the Chairman appear on the General Users’ screens, while

video of each General User appears on the Chairman’s screen in a

multiple video screen layout.

If the Chairman grants a General User permission to speak, the

Chairman and this General User will be heard by all participants. In

such cases, the screens of each of the General Users will switch to a

multiple video screen layout displaying the Chairman and the user the

Chairman has granted permission to speak.

You can not change modes while a meeting conducted in [Lecture] mode is

in progress.

Note

8H.323 Alias and Gatekeeper

H.323 Alias and Gatekeeper

An H.323 Alias is a unique name assigned for each H.323 terminal, User or

Meeting. The User name of a H.323 terminal registered with the gatekeeper is

assigned as the User’s H.323 Alias.

This system is used because having a set of easily-identifiable numbers or

characters to designate other Users is a much simpler method than using IP

Addresses. Assigning an H.323 Alias to a Meeting configured on the HD

VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER allows each terminal to directly

enter Meetings using an H.323 Alias.

The gatekeeper embedded in the HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION

SERVER holds H.323 Alias and IP Address information for all registered

Endpoints and Meetings. This makes it easy to enter Meetings and call other

Users with an H.323 Alias.

The H.323 Alias can be assigned during the following configuration tasks:

• User H.323 Alias: When providing / changing User information settings

• Meeting H.323 Alias: When providing / changing Meeting information

settings
