Video Deployment Concerns: 

Video Deployment Concerns How Do I Make Video Communications Easier for End Users? How Do I Control Costs of Video Communications? How Do I Ensure Call Reliability? How Do I Manage This Video Application? How Do I Provide IP Communications in a Secure Manner? How do I Ensure the Video Data Does Not Consume All the Available Network Bandwidth?

Product Overview: 

Product Overview Polycom OneDial TM Feature Automatic Routing Least Cost Routing Alternate Routing Voice Telephony Integration Simplified Deployment and Management Increased Security Software Application that resides on a Windows NT or 2000 Server

The Core of a Call Processing Server: 

The Core of a Call Processing Server Intelligent Network Routing Engine The embedded gatekeeper can either replace or work as a neighbor to a standard gatekeeper

Polycom Accelerated Communications (PAC) Architecture: 

Polycom Accelerated Communications (PAC) Architecture Terminals System Management Conference Management Call Control Network Infrastructure ViewStation™, ViaVideo™, SoundStation®, iPower, SoundPoint®, VoiceStation Global Management System™ WebCommander™ Directory Services (from GMS) PathNavigator MGC-100™ MCU, Gateway

Polycom OneDialTM Feature: 

Polycom OneDialTM Feature Works Like a Phone 4-Digit Internal Dialing “9” Dialing for External Gateway Calls Conference On-Demand Multipoint Calls Initiated by the User Without the Need for a Conference Administrator Transparent Complex Call Routing

Polycom OneDialTM – How it Works: 

Polycom OneDialTM – How it Works Option 1: Choose a Name from the Global Directory PathNavigator Automatically Routes Calls Over IP, ISDN, through Gateways, or Whatever is Required PathNavigator Automatically Adds or Removes Area Codes, International Dialing Prefixes and Country Codes Option 2: Dial A Number Like a Phone 4-Digit Extension for Internal Calls, or Dial “9” for Outside (Gateway) Calls No Gateway Call Prefixes Required Regardless of the Speed of the Call Dialed

The Power of The Intelligent Network Routing Engine: 

The Power of The Intelligent Network Routing Engine Least-Cost Routing Finds and Selects Lowest Cost Resources Automatically – Networks and Gateways Alternate Routing Alternate Routing Auto-Selects ISDN Routing Where IP Bandwidth is Not Available Automatically routes calls to best resources Finds Users Regardless of Location Resources Utilized According to Bandwidth Availability, Policy and RAI/RAC Routes Within as Well as Outside the Enterprise Support for Remote Users on the VPN

Conference On-Demand: 

Conference On-Demand ViaVideo, single-point ViewStations, and iPower systems will be able to dial multiple endpoints Turns every endpoint into a multipoint system End user selects names from the directory or enters numbers/names manually PathNavigator communicates directly with Polycom MGC (MCU) resources in the enterprise * The GW is built-in with the MGC

Alternate Routing: 

Alternate Routing SF NY If the IP connection is not available, an alternate route can be automatically utilized GW GW

Least Cost Routing: 

Least Cost Routing Route Long Distance Over the Enterprise WAN to Save Money

Call Forwarding: 

Call Forwarding Forward endpoint to any audio/video # When forwarded, PathNavigator automatically redirects

Voice Telephony Integration: 

Voice Telephony Integration Call Forwarding to Voicemail or Cell Phone Enables Voice Messaging When User Is Not Present or Universal Access Via Cell Phone Hunt Groups Enables Video Call Center Capability Join or Leave Hunt Group from the Endpoint by Using the Standard Endpoint Dialing Interface (RAS)

PathNavigator: 

PathNavigator

PathNavigator vs. Gatekeeper: 

PathNavigator vs. Gatekeeper *Polycom OneDial capabilities enhance Polycom and non-Polycom endpoints

Policy Management – Network Topology Based: 

Policy Management – Network Topology Based LAN and WAN Settings Controls bandwidth passing through particular segments of the video network Max Bandwidth Max Bit Rate Per Call Endpoint Address Ranges That Should Be Registering With This PathNavigator Country Code, Least Cost Routing Table Defaults for: Policy Group, ISDN Ranges to Assign (DID), E.164 Ranges to Assign

Network Topology Policy: 

Network Topology Policy

Simplified Deployment and Management (cont’d): 

Simplified Deployment and Management (cont’d) Diagnostics and Event Logging Customizable Diagnostic Levels Global Per Endpoint Per Call Call Detail Record (CDR) Usage Details Logged Per Call for Each Endpoint Enables Internal Billing or Usage Reporting Collects: date, time, duration, speed, number/address, direction Network Performance Reporting and Monitoring Real-Time and Historical Analysis of Video Performance Across the LAN and WAN

Increased Security: 

Increased Security Rogue IP Video Detection Call Requests to or From an Unregistered Endpoint are Flagged and/or Denied Registration Attempts from Rogue Endpoints Are Flagged NAT Confidentiality Internal NAT IP Addresses Are Not Accessible Or Sent Outside The Enterprise if Not Desired

Polycom Integration Features: 

Polycom Integration Features Value-Add Features With Polycom Products Enables Conference On-Demand from Endpoints Simplified Dialing with Accord Product Gateways Automatically Configure Polycom Endpoints for Polycom OneDial on IP or ISDN Networks Endpoints Seamlessly Setup Call Forwarding Automatic use of Accord Firewall/Gateway for Inter-Enterprise IP Dialing (Phase 2)

Support for 3rd Party Products: 

Support for 3rd Party Products PathNavigator Uses Industry Standards to Ensure Interoperability with Third-Party Products Any video endpoints can register (IP or ISDN) Gatekeepers – can be deployed as “neighbor gatekeepers” MCUs Gateways

Summary of Key Benefits: 

Summary of Key Benefits User Benefits Increased User Satisfaction Works Like a Phone Conference On-Demand Increased Call Reliability Voicemail Integration or Cell Phone Forwarding IT/Admin Benefits Policy-based Bandwidth Control Least-Cost Routing Simplified Deployment Intelligent Resource Management Increased Security
