IP Telephony Configuration Guide
• If interworking with a Meridian 1-ITG, the profile on the Internet Telephony Gateway (ITG)
must be set to have the same first preferred codec as on the Business Communications
Manager, the Voice Activity Detection (VAD) option must be set to the same value as the
Silence Suppression on the Business Communications Manager and the ITG payload size
must be set to 30 ms. If these rules are not adhered to, simple calls will still go through, but
some transfer scenarios will fail.
Gatekeeper
The Business Communications Manager is designed to interoperate with Radvision ECS 2.1.0.1
and CSE 1000 gatekeepers. As part of this, the Business Communications Manager supports both
Direct (GatekeeperResolved) and Routed (GatekeeperRouted) call signaling in this mode of
operation. Note that if the call signaling method is changed, the Business Communications
Manager must be restarted before it functions properly. Refer to “Using a gatekeeper” on page 103
for specific configuration instructions.
Asymmetrical media channel negotiation
By default, the Business Communications Manager IP Telephony gateway supports the G.729
codec family, G.723.1, G.711 mu-law and G.711 A-law audio media encoding. Because
NetMeeting does not support the H.323 fastStart call setup method, NetMeeting can choose a
different media type for its receive and transmit channels. However, Business Communications
Manager IP Telephony gateway does not support calls with different media types for the receive
and transmit channels and immediately hangs up a call taken with asymmetric audio channels. In
this case, the party on the Business Communications Manager switch hears a treatment from the
switch (normally a reorder tone). The party on the NetMeeting client loses connection.
To solve this problem, in NetMeeting, under the Tools, Options, Audio, Advanced, check
Manually configure compression settings, and ensure that the media types are in the same order
as shown in the Business Communications Manager media parameters table. The following table
lists the names used by the Business Communications Manager local gateway table and the
matching names in NetMeeting.
