IP Access Password By setting an IP Access Password on the system, all access to the system using IP (Telnet, FTP and WEB) requires a password. The default IP Access Password is “TANDBERG”.
TANDBERG 1500 MXP DNS Settings DNS Server 1-5 DNS Server defines the network addresses for DNS servers. Up to 5 addresses may be specified. If the network addresses are unknown, please contact your administrator or Internet Service Provider. DNS Domain Name DNS Domain Name is the default domain name suffix which is added to unqualified names. Example: DNS Domain Name is “example.com”, and the name to lookup is “videosystem” will result in a “videosystem.example.com” DNS lookup.
Administrator Settings 4.8.2.2 H.323 Settings E.164 alias This is the E.164 address of the system. The E.164 address is equivalent to a telephone number, sometimes combined with access codes. Valid characters are 0-9,* and #. When using a gatekeeper, the system will send a message to the gatekeeper containing both the E.164 address and the H.323 ID of the system. H.323 ID The H.323 ID of the system may be specified here. The System name is used if no H.323 ID is entered. H.
TANDBERG 1500 MXP Gatekeeper Settings Gatekeeper Discovery Auto The system will automatically try to register to any available gatekeeper. If a gatekeeper responds to the request sent from the codec within 30 seconds this specific gatekeeper will be used. This requires auto discovery on the gatekeeper as well. If no gatekeeper responds, the system will not use a gatekeeper for making H.323 calls and hence an IP-address must be specified manually.
Administrator Settings CallManager Settings CallManager IP This is the CallManager IP-address that is used if you specify H.323 Call Setup: CallManager.
TANDBERG 1500 MXP Advanced H.323 Settings The Advanced H.323 Settings only have an effect if they are supported by your IP infrastructure. NAT NAT, Network Address Translation, is used when a PC and a videoconferencing system are connected to a router with NAT support. NAT support in the videoconferencing system enables proper exchange of audio/video data when connected to an external videoconferencing system (when the IP traffic goes through a NAT router).
Administrator Settings H.323 Ports Static When selecting static H.323 ports for TCP connections the ports 5555 to 5574 will be used for Q.931 and H.245 respectively. Dynamic The system will allocate which ports to use when opening a TCP connection. The reason for doing this is to avoid using the same ports for subsequent calls as some firewall consider this as a sign of attack.
TANDBERG 1500 MXP 4.8.2.3 SIP Settings Mode On Setting the SIP mode to on will enable the system for incoming and outgoing SIP calls. Off Setting the SIP mode to off will disable incoming and outgoing SIP calls from the system. Display Name The Display name part of the SIP Address (URI) is usually a full name or system name. Examples: “Alice Wonderland” “System 01” SIP Address The SIP Address is the SIP URI used to address the system. SIP Address (URI): Examples: “alice@example.
Administrator Settings Server Address The Server Address is the manually configured address for the outbound proxy and registrar. It is possible to use a fully qualified domain name, or an IP address. The default port is 5060 for TCP and UDP, but another one can be provided. Server Address: Examples: “sipserver.example.com” “sipserver.example.com:5060” “10.0.0.2” “10.0.0.2:5061” Authentication User Name This is the user name part of the credentials used to authenticate toward the SIP Server.
