What is Video Conferencing

Videoconferencing is the transmission of synchronized video and audio between two or more locations, simulating "face-to-face" communication between two or more participants.

This is accomplished through the use of cameras, video displays, microphones and speakers at each location.

Information for Using Videoconferencing

When installing new videoconferencing endpoints, the following information will allow users to configure their system to work properly with the Case system

Configuring your system

The following information is required in order to properly configure your system to operate with the Case videoconferencing network. If you are attempting to install a videoconferencing endpoint, other than eConf, please call MediaVision support at 368-3777.

H.323 alias (name): for desktop endpoints, we will be using Case email addresses (i.e. firstname.lasname
@case.edu).For room sites, we will be using building and room number information (i.e. Adel351, SOMWG60)

H.323 extension (number): use your seven-digit campus phone number (i.e. 368xxxx). If you have multiple client terminals, but only one campus extension, please use your cell phone number for your desktop endpoint (eConf)

Case Gatekeeper IP address: 129.22.8.216 - In H.323 IP conferencing, a Gatekeeper is a server that is responsible for “managing” the videoconferencing network. A Gatekeeper eliminates the need for end-users to remember complex IP addresses for dialing each other, replacing them with user-friendly aliases (i.e. H.323 name alias, or H.323 extension)

Auto answer: Auto answer will enable your endpoint to automatically answer incoming calls.
