Configuring IP Settings

Specifying H.323 Settings

If your network uses a gatekeeper, the system can automatically register its

H.323 name and extension. This allows others to call the system by entering

the H.323 name or extension instead of the IP address.

To specify H.323 settings:

1. Go to System > Admin Settings > Network > IP > H.323 Settings.

2. Configure these settings on the H.323 Settings screen:

Control Priority Sets the priority of control traffic on the LAN. Control traffic is

any traffic consisting of control information associated with a

call:

• H.323—H.225.0 Call Signaling, H.225.0 RAS, H.245, Far

End Camera Control

• SIP—SIP Signaling, Far End Camera Control, Binary Floor

Control Protocol (BFCP)

This setting is available only when 802.1p/Q is enabled. The

value can be any number from 0 to 7, although 6 and 7 are not

recommended.

Enable PC LAN

Port

Specifies whether the PC LAN port is enabled on the back of a

Polycom HDX 4000, Polycom HDX 7000, or Polycom HDX

8000 series system. Disable this setting for increased security.

Setting Description

Display H.323

Extension

Allows users to enter H.323 extensions separately from the

gateway ID on the Place a Call screen. If your system is

registered with a gatekeeper, this setting also displays your

H.323 extension on the home screen.

If you do not select this setting, users make gateway calls by

entering the call information in this format:

gateway ID + ## + extension

H.323 Name Specifies the name that gatekeepers and gateways use to

identify this system. You can make point-to-point calls using

H.323 names if both systems are registered to a gatekeeper.

The H.323 Name is the same as the System Name, unless

you change it. Your organization’s dial plan may define the

names you can use.
