2 Planning the Topology of the SCOPIA XT Series Deployment There are a number of ways that the SCOPIA XT Series can be deployed in a network, depending on whether you use it as a room system endpoint or a conference hosting system, and the type of the endpoints connecting to the unit. • Using SCOPIA XT Series as Endpoints ...................................................... page 8 • Using the SCOPIA XT Series Embedded MCU ..............................................
Figure 2-1 SCOPIA XT Series as Endpoints Using the SCOPIA XT Series Embedded MCU The SCOPIA XT Series MCU Edition includes an embedded MCU and is available as a license option for the XT5000 and SCOPIA XT1200 models only. Activate the MCU capability by registering the XT Codec Unit, as described in “Registering the SCOPIA XT Series to Obtain a License Key”. The SCOPIA XT Series MCU Edition can deploy two levels of MCUs: • MCU4 - Host videoconferences with up to 4 participants (1 Local and 3 Remote).
Note For MCU9, the capabilities depend on the selected CP layout. For the best experience when using the SCOPIA XT Series MCU Edition, we recommend: • Enabling the High Bandwidth Option (12Mbps), available as a separate license (for details, see Installation Guide for the SCOPIA XT Series). Otherwise, the MCU sends out a lower resolution at the standard 6Mbps total bandwidth.
Planning NAT and Firewall Traversal with SCOPIA XT Series SCOPIA XT Series fully supports NAT and firewall traversal, enabling you to place the unit behind a NAT router or firewall and connect with other endpoints seamlessly.
Having a dedicated NAT/firewall traversal server like the SCOPIA PathFinder offers external endpoints a static address when joining conferences hosted in your organization. You can dial 1234@pathfinder.company.com to access from outside the firewall, or you can dial 1234 directly if you are a H.460 client logged in to the SCOPIA PathFinder Server. H.460 is an extension of the H.323 protocol used for NAT and firewall traversal, employing ITU-T standards.
Figure 2-4 Using XT Series for NAT and Firewall Traversal There are two possible setups in the GLAN1 and GLAN2 configuration (see Figure 2-4 on page 13): 1. When there is no gatekeeper, XT Series communicates simultaneously with the public and private network endpoints using IP addresses. This configuration is suitable for SMBs. 2. When there is a gatekeeper, it is configured to manage the private network endpoints.
Supporting ISDN Connectivity The SCOPIA XT Series supports ISDN connectivity, allowing calls from endpoints to be routed to the relevant conference using the SCOPIA BRI (Basic Rate Interface) and PRI (Primary Rate Interface) gateways. RADVISION has implemented a special pairing mechanism between the gateway and the endpoint so that ISDN dialing is very simple. After pairing the systems, the participants place ISDN calls by dialing the remote party ISDN number.
Note The specific firewalls you need to open ports on depends on where your SCOPIA XT Series and other SCOPIA Solution products are deployed. RADVISION | Installation Guide for SCOPIA XT5000 Series Version 3.

Note In the endpoint, your changes are saved automatically. Configuring Quality of Service (QoS) Quality of Service determines how your network handles IP packets sent to your system during a video conference. Bandwidth and video quality settings also contribute to call quality.
Figure 5-36 Step 2 Configuring QoS settings Set the fields as described in Table 5-18 on page 89. Table 5-18 Configuring QoS settings Field Name Description Use QoS Enable/Disable QoS. If you set Use QoS to Yes, you will provide different priority to different data stream, or guarantee a certain level of performance to a data stream. In particular, you may choose between Precedence/TOS and Differentiated Service.
Configuring Gatekeeper Use Gatekeepers offer video users the ability to contact H.323 endpoints by entering an alias, rather than having to remember each endpoint’s IP address. For example, you can dial “1234” or “joesmith” and the gatekeeper routes the call correctly. To do this, the gatekeeper must register all endpoints to maintain the mapping list of aliases and endpoints to successfully route calls. It also registers gateways to ensure that a call can be routed to a non-H.
Note Step 4 In the endpoint, your changes are saved automatically. Select Gatekeeper under H.323. Figure 5-38 Step 5 Configuring the Gatekeeper settings from the web interface Set the fields as described in Table 5-20 on page 92. RADVISION | Installation Guide for SCOPIA XT5000 Series Version 3.
Table 5-20 Configuring the gatekeeper Field Name Description Use gatekeeper Enables/disables the use of a gatekeeper. If No is selected, all the other fields are greyed. If Yes is selected, the XT Codec Unit can use the gatekeeper’s services. Automatic IP address Automatic gatekeeper discovery. The XT Codec Unit searches for an available gatekeeper. IP address Enter the IP address of the gatekeeper, if you do not use Automatic IP address. Use H.460 If set to Yes, the system uses H.
Step 6 In the web interface, select Save. Note In the endpoint, your changes are saved automatically. Configuring SIP Server Use The SCOPIA XT Series can be configured to function in a SIP environment, where aliases are managed by SIP servers rather than gatekeepers. In a SIP environment, a user can contact an endpoint by entering its alias, rather than having to remember the endpoint’s IP address. For example, you can dial “1234” or “joesmith” and the SIP server routes the call correctly.
