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?

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

• 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

8
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

9
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

If the IP connection is not available, an
alternate route can be automatically utilized
11
Least Cost Routing
Route Long Distance Over the Enterprise WAN to
Save Money
12
Call Forwarding
Forward endpoint to any audio/video
When forwarded, PathNavigator automatically
redirects
13
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 vs. Gatekeeper
Polycom OneDial capabilities enhance Polycom and
non-Polycom endpoints
16
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

Simplified Deployment and Management (contd)

• 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

19
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

20
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)

21
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
