1.4.2 Networking in Video Firewall Mode

The video firewall mode is used as a simple way to realize the traversal between public and
private networks. You can connect the MCU to different networks through different network
interfaces. In this case, video terminals in different networks can join the same conference.

1.4.3 Cascading Networking

Cascading means that a master MCU is appended with some slave MCUs. Figure 1-10 shows
cascading networking. By using the cascading technology, you can greatly expand the
capacity of the videoconferencing system.

H D T e rm in a l
H D T erm inal
The master and slave MCUs are determined when you define a cascading site.
The master and the slave MCUs join in a conference on another MCU as a single site.
Each master MCU can be appended with multiple slave MCUs, while each slave MCU
can be appended to only one master MCU.
MCUs are cascaded through IP lines.
Multi-Channel Cascading
During a single-channel-cascaded conference where only one channel is used between
cascaded MCUs, the following aspects are restricted:
Issue 04 (2013-07-20)
Only one site from a slave MCU can be added to continuous presence.

11
ViewPoint 8650C
User Guide
1 Overview
Only the chair site can view the sites on the remote MCU. Ordinary sites can view only
the sites on the local MCU.
The MCU supports multi-channel cascading. By using several channels for cascaded
conferences, the MCU can send multiple channels of data streams to other cascaded MCUs,
removing the preceding restrictions on single-channel conferences. For example, in the
multi-channel conference as shown in Figure 1-10, videos of sites on MCU2, MCU3, and
MCU4 can be displayed in continuous presence on MCU1.
During a multi-channel-cascaded conference, the following aspects are restricted:
MCU1 cannot be an 8650C.
Multi-channel cascading is used for a and functions of continuous presence and site
selection.
A maximum of 32 channels can exist between master and slave MCUs in one
conference.
A maximum of three levels of multi-channel-cascaded MCUs is supported in

networking.
Sites located in different provinces cannot join a multi-channel-cascaded conference

simultaneously.
Line backup is not supported, that is, the mode in which active and backup sites exist is
not supported.
During a scheduled conference that contains cascaded sites, a slave MCU can be
cascaded to only one master MCU, but can be cascaded to by multiple slave MCUs.
The function of automatic rate reduction is not supported.
Automatically Scheduling a Cascaded Conference

You can manually add sites on different MCUs to create a multi-channel-cascaded conference.
Such conference can also be scheduled by the RM automatically in one of the following
situations:
During the defining of an ordinary conference, sites are assigned to difference MCUs, or
a site is not assigned to any MCUs and cannot be assigned to the same MCU as other
sites (the second situation occurs if, for example, sites using IP and E1 lines exist in a
conference, and the master MCU does not support the simultaneous access by sites using
different types of lines).
During a multi-level conference, sites in the upper-level or lower-level conferenence are

from different MCUs (see the conditions of automatic cascading for ordinary
conferences).
During an active conference, a site that is not from the master MCU is added (see the
conditions of automatic cascading for ordinary conferences).
During the SiteCall, sites using various types of lines exist and the master MCU does not
support the simultaneous access by sites using different types of lines.
1.4.4 Static NAT Networking

With static network address translation (NAT), the IP address of the GE0 network interface on
an MCU can be mapped to a public IP address. This approach enables terminals on different
private networks to access the same MCU, regardless of whether the terminals and the MCU
are located on the same private network. This approach is applicable to the situation where the
following conditions are all met: Many of the sites participating in a conference are not in the
city where the MCU is located; the sites in other cities are on private networks that can

R o u te r
The following aspects are restricted for static NAT networking:
The GK used in the networking must be an external GK.
The NAT devices must support static IP address mapping.
If the GK is on a private network, you must enable Q.931 routing, H.245 routing, and
NAT from the GK. In addition, you must use the private IP address of the GK when
registering the MCU to the GK.
A terminal that is on the same private network as the MCU cannot be registered with the
GK. Therefore, the terminal must use an IP address to attend a conference.
Multi-layer NAT is not supported.
1.4.5 H.460 Networking

H.460 is a series of extensions to the H.323 videoconferencing standard from the ITU.
Introduced in 2005, several of the extensions, including H.460.17, H.460.18 and H.460.19,
deal with firewall and NAT traversal.

8.1.1 Deploying FTP Server
If FTP upgrades are required, deploy an FTP server. To improve upgrade security, enable the
FTPS client.
Background
The FTPS is an extension of the FTP to support the SSL.
Prerequisites
Ensure that:
On the computer where the FTP server is deployed, a fixed TCP/IP protocol is added to
the network properties, and the IP addresses of the computer and MCU are in the same
network segment.
A folder D:\Upgrade\mcu is created on the computer, containing the latest mcu-soft.bin

file, IVR files, and license file.
The FTPS client is saved to the computer.
Configuring the FTPS Client

Configure the FTPS client only when you deploy the FTP server for the first time. Before you upgrade
the mcu-boot.bin file, run the FTPS client and check whether the mcu-boot.bin file is the latest version.
Step 1 Install the FTPS client on the computer (use the FileZilla_Server-0_9_41.exe as an example).

8.2 Setting Recording Server

8.2.1 Network Recording Service
By deploying a network recording server (NRS) and setting network recording parameters,
you can log in to the web interface of the network recording server to view live or on-demand
conferences.
Introduction
With the MCU's network recording feature, you can use an NRS to record meetings, training
sessions, classes, and judicial proceedings. You can view the recording anytime at any place
with Internet access.
Description:
The administrator logs in to the NRS web interface and adds accounts with different
levels of rights to the NRS.
The administrator logs in to the RM , defines a conference that supports recording and
live broadcasting, and schedules the conference. The RM sends a conference schedule
Issue 04 (2013-07-20)

93
ViewPoint 8650C
User Guide
notification to both the MCU and NRS. The MCU receives the notification and begins
calling endpoints to join the conference.
When the administrator starts recording or live broadcasting from the RM , the RM
sends a message to both the MCU and NRS. The MCU and NRS then transmit
unidirectional video streams to each other.
Users that have been added to the NRS can access the NRS web interface and view the
conference live broadcast.
When the conference ends, the RM sends a conference end notification to both the
MCU and NRS. Then the MCU stops sending video streams, while the NRS stops
receiving video streams and saves the video streams to files.
Users that have been added to the NRS can access the NRS web interface and view the
on-demand conference.
Restrictions
In this document, the REACH CR101 NRS is used. When using network recording, note the
following restrictions:
The traversal across public and private networks between the MCU and the NRS is not
supported.
The MCU web interface does not support recording operations and control.
The MCU does not support the recording of 1080i50/60 or 1080p50/60 conferences.
The maximum recording bandwidth per conference is 8 Mbit/s.

The recording bandwidth cannot be higher than the current conference bandwidth.
Prerequisites

9.3 Removing Dust from the Optical Interface and Tail

Fiber Connector
After the device runs for a period of time, you need to remove the dust from the optical
interface and tail fiber connector.
9.3.1 Precautions
The laser transmitted by the laser device on the optical interface board is invisible infrared.
Do not look directly into the laser. Otherwise, the laser may injure the eyes permanently.
When operating with the optical connectors of the tail fiber and optical interface board, you
are recommended to wear protective glasses to filter the infrared and to prevent the injury to
the eyes by the invisible infrared during the operation process. If you are not wearing
protective glasses, you should not look directly into the laser transmitting port on the optical
interface board and the optical fiber connector.
If the optical connector of the board or the tail fiber is not used, ensure that it is covered by
the protective cap. If the optical connector is in use, when removing the tail fiber from the
connector, you should use the protective cap to cover the optical interface and the tail fiber
connector connected to the optical interface.
If you adhere to these instructions, it will:
Prevent injury to the eyes caused by the invisible laser sent by the laser device.
Prevent loss of the optical interface and the tail fiber connector that is caused due to the
dust.
Do not use tools or materials that are not proved to be suitable for the cleaning of the optical
connector and the optical interface of the laser device on the optical interface board. Use of
such tools and materials for cleaning the optical connector and the optical interface can
damage the optical interface and the optical connector.

10.2 Common Troubleshooting Methods

This section describes some of the commonly used methods for determining and identifying
problems.
10.2.1 Analysis of Original Information

Original information refers to the failure information collected from the following sources:
Users' complaints
Failure notifications of other sites and offices

10 Troubleshooting
Failure detected during maintenance
Information collected by the maintenance personnel during the early phase of the failure
The original information is an important material for fault diagnosis and analysis.
The analysis of the original information is used for determining the scope and type of a fault.
In the early stage of fault processing, this activity can help reduce the scope of fault and
identify the fault. If you have ample experience in maintenance, you can identify the faults
easily.
10.2.2 Analysis of Warning Information

Warning information refers to the information generated by the warning system. The analysis
of the warning information is used for identifying the actual reason or the cause of the fault.
You can identify the causes of the fault directly by using this activity or by combining it with
other activities. It is preferred to use the warning information to identify the cause of the fault.
10.2.3 Analysis of Indicator Status

On each board of the MCU there are corresponding indicators that indicates different running
statuses of the system. Certain boards have functional indicators or feature indicators. In
addition to indicating the running status of the corresponding board, most of the indicators can
indicate the running status of the circuit, the link, the optical path, the nodes, and the active or
standby board. This activity is an important criterion for analyzing and identifying the fault.
The analysis of the indicator status is mainly for quickly locating the position and the cause of
the fault. This can provide clues for fault processing. The information gathered by this activity
is, however, inadequate; therefore, you need to use the analysis of warning information along
with this activity.
10.2.4 Test/Loopback
Test refers to the measurement of the related technical parameters of the potential failure parts
through apparatus, meters, or software test tools, such as the test of the subscriber line or the
transmission channel. According to the result of the measurement, you can check whether the
equipment has a fault or is on the verge of failure.
Loopback refers to the method of using a hardware or software to test whether a transmission
device or a transmission channel can return a transmitted signal to its source (the process is
also called self-loop). You can use the loopback to determine whether the transmission device
or the transmission channel is working properly considering the service status, the signaling
cooperation, and others.
10.2.5 Comparison/Interchange
Comparison refers to the comparative analysis on failed parts and normal parts. You can use
this activity to find differences and identify the problem. This activity is applicable to cases
where you can find failed parts.
If you fail to determine the scope or position of a fault after you have replaced the potential
failed parts with spare parts, you can use interchange for troubleshooting. Interchange refers
to interchange of parts (such as boards and optical fibers) between the parts in normal state
and the potential failed parts and comparison between the variations of the running status.
This activity is applicable to cases where to find failed parts is difficult.

10.2.6 Switching/Reset
Switching refers to the manual switchover operation to the equipment in active or standby
mode. In other words, all services on the active equipment are transferred to the standby
equipment. You can compare the running status of the switched systems to determine whether
the equipment in active mode is working properly and whether the relationship between the
active and standby equipment is coordinated.
Reset refers to the manual reboot of certain parts or all the parts of the equipment. You can
use this activity to analyze bugs of the software. For example, you can use this activity to
determine whether the software is running properly, and whether the programs are in deadlock.
This activity is an extreme operation when no other operation can be performed to solve the
problem.
Compared with other methods, switching and reset cannot identify the cause of a fault
accurately. Because of the randomness of software running, faults occurred before the
switching or reset is hard to re-occur in a short period, which covers the real cause of the
faults and brings potential risks to the security and stability of the equipment. Therefore, these
two activities are the measures that are adopted in case of temporary emergencies and should
be used with caution.
10.2.7 Apparatus/Meter-Aided Analysis

Apparatus or meters are commonly used to analyze and identify faults. Apparatus/Meter-aided
analysis can directly reflect the faults through direct and quantitative data. This activity is
widely used in waveform analysis and line error detection.
10.3 Fixing Common Faults

For common faults that occur during the use of the MCU, you can fix them by using the
methods described in the following sections.
10.3.1 The MCU Fails to Register with the External GK.

Symptom
The MCU fails to register with the external GK.
Analysis
Network failure
Inconsistent settings for registration
The IP address of the MCU is in the restricted network segment of the GK.
Network failure
Solution
Run the ping command to test the connectivity between the GK and the MCU.
Inconsistent settings in registration

Log in to the MCU through SSH. Run the display gk command to view the settings for
registration with the GK. Ensure that GK enable is set to enable and that the IP address
of the GK and the password used by the MCU for registration are correct.

If the preceding settings are inconsistent with the settings on the GK, use the
system-view gk-config command to change the settings. After the change, ensure that
the settings on the MCU and the GK match.
The IP address of the MCU is in the restricted network segment of the GK.
Change the restricted network segment of the GK.

10.3.3 A Participant Cannot Hear Voice Instructions.

Symptom
After a participant joins a conference properly, the participant cannot hear the voice
instructions provided by the IVR service.
Analysis
The voice instructions of the IVR service provided by the MCU can be customized. If the
relevant voice file is incorrect, participants cannot hear the voice instructions properly.
Solution
Upload the IVR voice file again.
10.3.4 Service Data Cannot Be Backed Up

Symptom
When a fault occurs on the primary MCU and the system fails over to the secondary MCU,
certain sites get disconnected unexpectedly or the initiation of a conference fails.
Analysis
Issue 04 (2013-07-20)
The models and specifications of the primary and secondary MCUs are different, and
therefore resources on the two MCUs are different. After the switchover, the secondary
MCU does not have sufficient resources to initiate a conference or maintain the proper
running of an active conference.

121
ViewPoint 8650C
User Guide
10 Troubleshooting
The secondary MCU is not online on the GK or has not been registered with the GK.
For the secondary MCU, use an MCU of the same model and with the same
specifications as the primary MCU.
Ensure that both the primary and secondary MCUs are added to the RM, and are
registered with and online on the GK.
Solution
10.3.5 Cascaded Sites Fail to Attend a Conference

Symptom
A conference that contains cascaded sites has been initiated and the cascaded sites have been
added to the conference properly. The cascaded sites, however, fail attend the conference.
Analysis
The parameter settings of the cascaded sites at different levels on the network are
inconsistent.
The cascading types set for the cascaded sites at different levels on the network are
inconsistent.
The conference number dialed by certain cascaded sites are incorrect.
The number of channels set for the cascaded sites at different levels on the network are
inconsistent.
H.264 4CIF, 720p, or 1080p continuous presence is defined in the conference.
Verify that the parameter settings of the cascaded sites at different levels on the network
are consistent.
Verify that the cascading types set for the cascaded sites at different levels on the
network are consistent.
Verify that the conference number dialed by the cascaded sites at different levels on the
network are correct.
Verify that the number of channels set for the cascaded sites at different levels on the
network are consistent.
Set the conference not to support continuous presence.

1080i
1080i is the short form for a format of high-definition video modes. 1080 denotes the number
of horizontal scan lines - also known as vertical resolution - and the letter i stands for
interlaced. In the alternate format of high-definition video mode, known as 1080p, the p
stands for progressive scan. 1080i is generally used instead of 1440x1080, at a frame rate of
29.97 (30000/1001); whereas, 1080p is used instead of 1920x1080 (full HD), at a frame rate
of 23.976 fps (24000/1001).
1080p
1080p is the short form for a category of HDTV video modes. The number 1080 represents
1,080 lines of vertical resolution (1,080 horizontal scan lines); whereas, the letter p stands for
progressive scan (which means that the image is not interlaced). 1080p can be referred to as
full HD or full high definition, although 1080i is also referred to as "Full HD" (1920x1080
pixels). The term usually implies a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, that is, a horizontal
resolution of 1920 pixels. This creates a frame resolution of 19201080, or 2,073,600 pixels
in total. The frame rate in hertz can be either implied by the context or specified after the
letter p (or i), such as 1080p30, which means 30 Hz.
2CIF
2CIF defines a video with a resolution of 704 288 pixels and uses progressive scanning.
4CIF
4CIF defines a video resolution of 704 576 pixels.
720p
720p is the short form for a category of HDTV video modes. The number 720 stands for the
720 horizontal scan lines of display resolution (also known as 720 pixels of vertical
resolution); whereas, the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. When
broadcast at 60 frames per second, 720p features the highest temporal (motion) resolution
possible under the ATSC standard. Progressive scanning reduces the need to prevent flicker
by filtering out fine details; hence, sharpness is much closer to 1080i than the number of scan
lines would suggest.

ad hoc
This is a conference initiation mode. In this mode, you can initiate a conference by using one
of the following methods:
Create a conference on the user interface of an MCU, and then call the participants to
enable them to join the conference.
On a video terminal, dial a predefined conference ID to join the corresponding

conference.
On a video terminal, dial a new (not predefined) conference ID to create a conference.
On a video terminal, access the lobby of an MCU, and then join a predefined conference
or an ongoing conference.
On a video terminal, access the lobby of an MCU, and then create a conference.
On a video terminal, dial a predefined conference ID to activate a conference. Then, the

MCU calls the others participants defined in the conference to enable them to join the
conference.
On a video terminal, predefine a multipoint conference. When initiating the conference,

the terminal sends the conference settings automatically to an MCU to create the
conference on the MCU.
Auto attendant
In telephony, an automated attendant (also known as auto attendant, auto-attendant,
autoattendant, or sometimes AA) allows callers to be automatically transferred to an extension
without the intervention of an operator (typically a receptionist). Many AAs will also offer a
simple menu system ("for sales, press 1, for service, press 2, etc.). An auto attendant may also
allow a caller to reach a live operator by dialing a particular number, for example '0'.
Automatic Repeat reQuest

Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ), also known as Automatic Repeat Query, is an error-control
method for data transmission that uses acknowledgements (messages sent by the receiver
indicating that it has correctly received a data frame or packet) and timeouts (specified period
of time allowed to elapse before an acknowledgment is received) to achieve reliable data
transmission over an unreliable service. If the sender does not receive an acknowledgment
before the timeout, it usually re-transmits the frame/packet until the sender receives an
acknowledgment or exceeds a predefined number of re-transmissions.
automatic speed reduction

A video terminal in a conference can automatically lower the transmission rate to ensure the
call quality if serious packet loss occurs on the terminal.
broadcast continuous presence

All the participants in a conference are forced to view the continuous presence set in the
conference.
broadcast (participant)
All participants, except the participant being broadcast, view the participant that is broadcast.

cascading
Multiple MCUs are connected in series at different layers to increase the number of MCU
ports. In cascading mode, an MCU in an upper layer can control an MCU in a lower layer.
CIF
CIF (Common Intermediate Format), also known as FCIF (Full Common Intermediate
Format), is a format used to standardize the horizontal and vertical resolutions in pixels of
YCbCr sequences in video signals, commonly used in video teleconferencing systems. It was
first proposed in the H.261 standard.
conference special service number

This number is defined in conference settings on an MCU. On a video terminal, users can dial
this number to join an ongoing conference to which the terminal has been added as a
participant.
continuous presence
It is a feature in multi-point conferencing that allows the video endpoint to see images from
multiple video endpoints at the same time. All parties remain continuously visible or are
'present' for the duration of the call and the user can have a control over the screen layout.
Continuous presence is better suited for team collaboration since it allows participants to see
the reactions (body language) of all participants, and not just of the speaker.
gatekeeper
"The gatekeeper is an H.323 entity on the LAN that provides address translation and control
access to the LAN for H.323 terminals and gateways. The gatekeeper can provide other
services to the H.323 terminals and gateways, such as bandwidth management and locating
gateways."
intelligently forward
If an MCU detects the packet loss of data streams, the MCU forwards an I-frame request
message sent by the video terminal.
IVR
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is a technology that allows a computer to detect voice and
dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF) keypad inputs. IVR technology is used
extensively in telecommunication, but is also being introduced into automobile systems for
hands-free operation. Current deployment in automobiles revolves around satellite navigation,
audio and mobile phone systems. In telecommunications, IVR allows customers to access the
database of a company via a telephone keypad or by speech recognition, after which they can
process their own inquiries by following the instructions. IVR systems can respond with
pre-recorded or dynamically generated audio to direct users on how to proceed. IVR systems
can be used to control almost any function where the interface can be broken down into a
series of simple menu choices. In telecommunications applications, such as customer support
lines, IVR systems can handle large call volumes.

move participant
User can use this function to switch a selected participant from one conference to another. In
this case, the participant exits the current conference and then joins another specified
conference.
neighboring gatekeeper
Neighboring gatekeeper is a mechanism by which a gatekeeper optimizes inter-zone
communication. Neighboring gatekeepers are stored in a neighbor table in the gatekeeper
database. A gatekeeper uses this table to resolve destination IP addresses when the source
endpoint is not in the same zone as the destination endpoint.
network address book

It is an address book saved on an MCU. A video terminal can download this address book to a
local system through the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
packet loss concealment

Packet loss concealment (PLC) is a technique to mask the effects of packet loss in VoIP
communications. The voice signal is sent as packets on a VoIP network; therefore, the voice
signal may travel on different routes to reach the destination. At the receiver, a packet can
arrive very late, be corrupted, or do not arrive. In certain cases, if a packet does not arrive, it
indicates that the packet is rejected by a server which has reached full buffer and cannot
accept any more data. In a VoIP connection, error-control techniques such as ARQ are not
feasible and the receiver must be able to handle packet loss.
ports to reserve
It specifies the number of ports applied when you define a conference. During the conference,
these port resources are reserved.
schedule conference
After a user specifies the start time and duration of a conference, the system schedules the
conference automatically.
transcoding
During a conference, an MCU automatically adjusts the conference rate and audio-visual
capability based on participant and network conditions.
video firewall mode

This mode is used to implement the traversal between private and public networks. The
network interfaces of an MCU are connected to difference networks so that the terminals on
different networks can join the same conference.
view participant
This function is used to view any participant. On the View Participant screen, users can
choose between View Single and View in Turn.
