As far as I am concerned, the code I have written for this software can be used freely for any purpose.

Any derived versions of this software must be clearly marked as such, and if the derived work is incompatible with the protocol description in the RFC file, it must be called by a name other than “ssh” or

“Secure Shell”. However, I am not implying to give any licenses to any patents or copyrights held by third parties, and the software includes parts that are not under my direct control. As far as I know, all included source code is used in accordance with the relevant license agreements and can be used freely for any purpose (the GNU license being the most restrictive); see below for details.

However, none of that term is relevant at this point in time. All of these restrictively licenced software components which he talks about have been removed from OpenSSH, i.e.,

!"

RSA is no longer included, found in the OpenSSL library

!"

IDEA is no longer included, its use is deprecated

!"

DES is now external, in the OpenSSL library

!"

GMP is no longer used, and instead we call BN code from OpenSSL

!"

Zlib is now external, in a library

!"

The make-ssh-known-hosts script is no longer included

!"

TSS has been removed

!"

MD5 is now external, in the OpenSSL library

!"

RC4 support has been replaced with ARC4 support from OpenSSL

!"

Blowfish is now external, in the OpenSSL library

Note that any information and cryptographic algorithms used in this software are publicly available on the Internet and at any major bookstore, scientific library, and patent office worldwide. More information can be found e.g. at “http://www.cs.hut.fi/crypto”.

You will be responsible for any legal consequences yourself; I am not making any claims whether possessing or using this is legal or not in your country, and I am not taking any responsibility on your behalf.

Environmental Issues

Thank you for buying a product which contributes to a reduction in pollution, and thereby helps save the environment. Our products reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby reduce pollution. Our products have either none or few consumable parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper). Our products are low energy consuming products.

TANDBERG’s Environmental Policy

Environmental stewardship is important to

TANDBERG’s culture. As a global company with strong corporate values, TANDBERG is committed to following international environmental legislation and designing technologies that help companies, individuals and communities creatively address environmental challenges.

TANDBERG’s environmental objectives are to:

!"

Develop products that reduce energy consumption, CO

2 congestion

emissions, and traffic

!"

Provide products and services that improve quality of life for our customers

!"

Produce products that can be recycled or disposed of safely at the end of product life

!"

Comply with all relevant environmental legislation.

European Environmental Directives

As a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment TANDBERG is responsible for compliance with the requirements in the European

Directives 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and 2002/95/

EC (RoHS).

The primary aim of the WEEE Directive and RoHS

Directive is to reduce the impact of disposal of electrical and electronic equipment at end-oflife. The WEEE Directive aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring producers to arrange for collection and recycling. The RoHS Directive bans the use of certain heavy metals and brominated flame retardants to reduce the environmental impact of WEEE which is landfilled or incinerated.

TANDBERG has implemented necessary process changes to comply with the European RoHS

Directive (2002/95/EC) and the European WEEE

Directive (2002/96/EC).

Waste Handling

In order to avoid the dissemination of hazardous substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems in your area. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of your end of life equipment in a sound way.

TANDBERG products put on the market after

August 2005 are marked with a crossed-out wheelie bin symbol that invites you to use those take-back systems.

Please contact your local supplier, the regional waste administration or http://www.tandberg.com/recycling if you need more information on the collection and recycling system in your area.

Information for Recyclers

As part of compliance with the European

WEEE Directive, TANDBERG provides recycling information on request for all types of new equipment put on the market in Europe after

August 13th 2005.

Please contact TANDBERG and provide the following details for the product for which you would like to receive recycling information:

!"

Model number of TANDBERG product

!"

Your company’s name

!"

Contact name

!"

Address

!"

Telephone number

!"

E-mail.

Digital User Guides

TANDBERG is pleased to announce that we have replaced the printed versions of our user guides with a digital CD version. Instead of a range of different user guides, there is now one CD – which can be used with all TANDBERG products

– in a variety of languages. The environmental benefits of this are significant. The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper are huge.

A simple web-based search feature helps you directly access the information you need. In addition, the TANDBERG video systems now have an intuitive on-screen help function, which provides a range of useful features and tips. The contents of the CD can still be printed locally, whenever needed.

TANDBERG MPS Capacity on IP

The maximum bandwidth on IP for each Media

Processing Board is 15360 kbps. With 8 Media

Processing Boards installed in a MPS 800 the maximum bandwidth on IP is 122800 kbps.

Setting Encryption to On will decrease the maximum bandwidth throughput, but not the total number of ports. The maximum bandwidth for each of the Media Processing Boards is 7680 kbps with Encryption set to On in all calls.

NOTE: Encrypted SIP calls is a Beta feature, and you should not run with Encrypted SIP calls in a production environment, it has limited support and is for evaluation and testing use only.

TANDBERG MPS Capacity on ISDN

The maximum bandwidth for ISDN for each Media Processing Board is 7680 kbps. With 4 E1/

T1 ISDN Interface Card installed in a MPS 800, and 8 Media Processing Boards the maximum bandwidth is 61440 kbps.

One V.35 Serial Interface Card could handle maximum 61440 kbps in maximum 32 calls.

More V.35 Serial Interface Card would increase, not the bandwidth capacity, but the number of possible calls up to a maximum of 128 calls.

The Gateway capacity is 7680 kbps per Media.

!

In a secure conference, there is no support for telephone participants.

To increase the capacity, the MCU can be connected in a cascade. See Appendices > Appendices > Distributed MCUs for details.

TANDBERG MPS at a Glance

Rack Mountable Chassis

The TANDBERG MPS chassis is 19” rack-mountable.

!"

On the front of the chassis is a Liquid Crystal

Display (LCD) for initial configuration and basic system information.

!"

There are four Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) indicating the power status.

!"

The backplane of the chassis is provided with advanced CompactPCI technology for high speed communication between the boards.

!"

There are three cooling fans in the lower front of the chassis.

!"

The

TANDBERG MPS 800

has a 9U-19” rack-mountable chassis that can host up to 8 Media Processing Boards and up to 4

Network Interface Cards.

!"

The

TANDBERG MPS 200

has 3U-19” rackmountable chassis that can host up to 2 Media Processing Boards and up to 2 Network

Interface Cards.

System Controller Board - Front view

The System Controller Board is installed in the first slot in the chassis.

!"

In the MPS 800 the first slot is the first from the left of the chassis.

!"

In the MPS 200 the first slot is the first from the bottom of the chassis.

!

It is very important that the System Controller Board is installed in the first slot in the chassis! Installing in any other slot can damage the System Controller

Board.

The System Controller Board takes care of the following functions:

!"

Call control

!"

System management

!"

The embedded Web server

The System Controller Board is equipped with the following interfaces:

!"

1 X LAN / Ethernet (RJ-45) 10/100 Mbit on the front.

!"

2 X LAN / Ethernet (RJ-45) 10/100 Mbit on the back (only 1 in use, Enet2)

!"

1 x COM port on the front

!"

2 X USB port (these are for future use)

Diodes (LEDs) for board status. With the TAND-

BERG MPS 800, there is support for up to 8

Media Processing Boards. With the TANDBERG

MPS 200, there is support for up to 2 Media Processing Boards. See the Appendices section for further details on the Media Processing Board.

The LAN interface on the System Controller

Board is for management/call control signalling.

Note that management is disabled on Enet2.

This interface is only for call control. The 2 LAN interfaces will allow you to connect to two nonoverlapping IP-networks so that participants with no IP-routing between them can be joined in the same conference. At least one Media Processing

Board must be connected to each network. The

Introduction

The web interface

The TANDBERG MPS is normally controlled via the web interface, but any authorized user may schedule meetings on the TANDBERG MPS by using the TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) or the TANDBERG Scheduler.

In this guide we will describe how to use the web interface of the TANDBERG MPS.

The TANDBERG MPS consists of the Multipoint

Control Unit (MCU), and may also include optional Gateway (GW) functionality.

Note that the Gateway Configuration tab on the web interface is only visible when the Gateway option is installed.

SSH and Telnet

The TANDBERG MPS can also be controlled via

SSH or Telnet by using a comprehensive set of

API commands. This enables the TANDBERG

MPS to be controlled by a different user interface, such as an AMX or Crestron control systems.

For the web interface of the TANDBERG MPS to work properly, make sure you have set the permission to ‘Allow Scripting’ in the Security Settings in the Web browser.

Voice Switch Timeout

Defines the number of seconds between 1 and 10, a participant must speak before it gets the speaker indication and is shown as the speaker to the other endpoints.

A long timeout might be suitable in noisy environments and in conferences with many participants.

Audio Leveling (AGC)

Ensures that all participants will receive the same audio level from all other participants, regardless of the levels transmitted. AGC - Automatic Gain Control.

In most conferences, the participants will speak at different levels. As a result, some of the participants are harder to hear than others. The Audio Leveling corrects this problem by automatically increasing the microphone levels when “quiet” or “distant” people speak, and by decreasing the microphone levels when “louder” people speak.

On:

When set to On the MCU maintains the audio signal level at a fixed value by attenuating strong signals and amplifying weak signals. Very weak signals, i.e. noise alone, will not be amplified.

Off: Set to Off to disable Audio Leveling (AGC).

Telephone Noise Suppression

On:

Set to On to enable Telephone Noise Suppression. Attenuates the noise which normally is introduced when adding mobile phones to a conference. The background noise normally heard when the telephone participant is not speaking will be attenuated.

Off:

Set to Off to disable Telephone Noise Suppression.

Allow G.728

On:

The MCU supports high quality audio even on low call rate.

On low call rate the MCU will prioritize G.722.1. The video participants which do not support G.722.1 will receive low quality audio G.728 instead when Allow G.728 is set to On.

Off:

To ensure high quality audio on low call rate, set Allow

G.728 to Off. Then video participants which are not able to support G.722.1, will receive G.722 instead.

Gateway Capacity

Each Media Board can support up to 7680 kbps of total bandwidth.

Each Gateway call consists of two connections. Example: A 384 kbps Gateway call has one

H.323 site connected at 384 kbps and one H.320 site connected at 384 kbps. This means that this call is utilizing 768 kbps worth of bandwidth (384k + 384k = 768k).

Each Gateway option on the MPS allows for a maximum of 10 concurrent calls. This means that each Gateway option can support up to 10 concurrent calls at 384 kbps.

Specifies where the TANDBERG MPS will start searching for available B-channels for each PRI-line for an outgoing call.

High:

If set to High, the TANDBERG MPS will start to search for available B-channels at the highest numbered B-channel (Default: High)

Low: If set to Low, the TANDBERG MPS will start searching for available B-channels at the lowest numbered B-channel.

The MPS tries to keep the H0-channels free as long as possible and will therefore not start searching at the lowest numbered channel when set to Low.

Number Range Start

The PRI lines connected to the TANDBERG MPS should have at least one number each, to allow dial in from ISDN. If the PRI line has a range of numbers, the start number must be entered here.

(Default: Empty)

The number range must be inclusive. All numbers in the range may be used by the TANDBERG MPS for callback numbers, so the local ISDN switch must route all of these numbers to the configured PRI. Please contact your IT manager or ISDN service provider to obtain these numbers.

It is only necessary to enter the digits indicating the range. If the range is 67828669 to 67828699, then just enter 8669. Maximum amount of digits is 24.

Number Range Stop

Here is where the last number in the PRI number range is entered. If the range is 67828669 to 67828699, then just enter

8699. (Default: Empty)

NOTE: When receiving a call with the Gateway configured with only one number in the PRI number range, all other incoming calls will be blocked until the ongoing call is established. This is because the network will have no additional number available for the second call while setting up the call. When the call is established the number will be available and any incoming call will connect as normal.

Gateway Functionality and Dialling Rules

How to enable Gateway Funtionality

In order to enable the Gateway functionality in the

MPS, the Gateway Software option must be set.

Dialling Rules

The dialling rules must be set in order for the

MPS to handle different types of Gateway calls. The different Gateway call types supported by the MPS are described below.

Gateway Software Option

The software option key is set in the web interface, see the

System Configuration > Upgrade section.

About the Option Key

An option key for the Gateway can be obtained through the regular TANDBERG channels. The option key states how many Gateway sessions the

MPS is able to run in parallel.

DID

Direct Inward Dialling (DID) will provide you with direct Dial In numbers for your endpoints.

DID will do a direct mapping between your

ISDN number and the H.323 E.164

Alias. If you have assigned a range of ISDN numbers to your ISDN PRI line, each ISDN number will map to a single IP endpoint.

Gateway Sessions

A Gateway session requires 2 ports (one for the source side and one for the destination side), thus making 80 the maximum number of Gateway sessions for the MPS 800. For MPS 200 the maximum is 20 sessions.

We recommend that if more than one

PRI line is used all PRI lines should have a common number range, see

Trunk Groups in the PRI Board Configu-

ration section.

Gateway Calls Overview

Once the correct option key for the Gateway is entered (and the system restarted), the web interface will include a Gateway Calls Overview page, see the

Overview > Gateway Calls Overview

section.

Gateway Configuration

Once the correct option key for the Gateway is entered (and the system restarted), an extra tab for Gateway Configuration will also be added to the web interface.

Example with DID:

1.

A DID dialling rule exists that maps the

PRI number range from 67124000 to

67124050 to the H.323 E.164

For further information about endpoint support of TCS-4 see the MXP Administrator’s

Guide on http://www.tandberg.com/docs .


IVR Services

Interactive Voice Response (IVR), also called extension Dial In, provides you with a single

Dial In number. The caller uses telephone tones (DTMF) to enter the extension address of the endpoint to be called. It is an automated answering system that directs the call to the endpoint indicated by the caller.

IVR is useful when you have limited PRI numbers on your PRI line.

Example with IVR:

1.

A video conferencing system calls into the Extension Dial In number of an IVR service.

2.

The Gateway activates the ‘Welcome’ picture and sound.

3.

The user of a video conferencing system enters the extension (H.323 E.164

Alias) followed by the # (pound-sign).

4.

The Gateway starts to call the IP endpoint and the “Call proceeding” picture and sound are activated.

5.

When the call is connected, the audio and video are transmitted through the

Gateway.

Administrator Guide


IVR + TCS-4

This call type is the same as described in IVR but extended by an additional method, the

TCS-4, to signal the extension address to the

Gateway. In this mode the extension number can be indicated with IVR or with TCS-4 signalling.

TCS-4 allows an H.320 based videoconferencing endpoint (ISDN, V.35, V.35RS366 and

G.703) to dial an IP endpoint directly, without having to (manually) enter the extension number by DTMF. The endpoint will send the extension number as a TCS-4 signal to the

Gateway. If no TCS-4 extension is sent from the endpoint, then IVR will be used.

To use TCS-4, it needs to be supported by the video conferencing system. .

Example with IVR + TCS-4:

1.

A video conferencing system calls into the

Extension Dial In number of an IVR + TCS-

4 service, using <Dial In number of this service>*<extension number>.

2.

The Gateway starts to call the IP endpoint and the “Call proceeding” picture and sound are activated.

3.

When the call is connected audio and video are transmitted through the Gateway.

4.

TANDBERG endpoints allow storing the complete dial string in the Phone Book to automate dial through.

Gateway Settings

Interoperability

Experience has shown that some features - even though they are standardized - might cause interoperability problems with legacy video conferencing products.

By disabling features on this page, the Gateway can be used as a filter to ensure interoperability with legacy products.

Using the MPS

When receiving a call with the Gateway configured with only one number in the PRI number range, all other incoming calls will be blocked until the ongoing call is established.

This is because the network will have no additional number available for the second call while setting up the call.

When the call is established the number will be available and any incoming call will connect as normal.

Natural Video

On: Set to On to allow video formats and capabilities such as interlaced video (iCIF/iSIF) to be transmitted through the

Gateway.

Off:

When set to Off no interlaced video capabilities will be transmitted.

Custom Video Formats

On: Set to On to allow H.263 custom video formats and capabilities such as SIF, 4SIF and VGA resolution to be transmitted through the gateway.

Off:

When set to Off no H.263 custom video formats or capabilities will be transmitted.

Encryption

The Gateway will allow DES and AES 128 encrypted Gateway calls to take place. Encryption can operate in two modes.

Transparent: When set to Transparent, the Gateway will forward the encryption modes of the connected devices transparently. The encryption modes seen on each side of the Gateway are similar. The Gateway will only encrypt calls if both sides support encryption. The settings for H.320 and

H.323 does not have any meaning in this mode.

Independent:

When set to Independent, the Gateway will use the settings made for the H.320 (ISDN) and H.323 (IP) side. The encryption modes on each side of the Gateway are independent of each other. One endpoint might show that the call is encrypted while the other endpoint shows an unencrypted call.

H.320 and H.323

On:

Encryption is required. Gateway connection is only established if encryption can be established on this side.

Off:

No encryption. Gateway connection will be established without any encryption on this side.

Auto:

Use encryption if available. Gateway will try to establish an encrypted connection, the connection will be established regardsless if encryption on this side is available.

External Crypto Device

A typical application of this feature is when an external crypto device is used on the ISDN interface. In this case an administrator may want to set the Gateway’s encryption on the H.320 side to Off and on the H.323 side to On.

page you can configure numbers and/or aliases to create a conference and to dial into an already created conference.

There are different ways of configuring and setting up a conference depending on conference type and use.

Conferences can be created and started from the web interface or by dialling into the MPS, with or without a create password and access password.

The participants may be put in a Waiting Room for a predefined period until the conference starts and may have a limited number of login attempts for accessing the conference.

The TANDBERG MPS 800 (200) supports up to 40

(10) simultaneous conferences.

The

Static Conferences configuration allows the users to define prefixes, ISDN numbers, E.164 Aliases, H.323 ID’s and SIP URI’s for each conference on the MPS.

The number of conferences in the Static Conferences list correspond to the number of conferences in the Overview >

MCU panel.

How to get access to a Static Conference

The conference must be created and started from the web interface of the MPS.

The participants can access a Static Conference by dialling a single number using the definitions in the Static Conferences, like ISDN, E.164 Alias, H.323 ID and SIP URI as the conference ID.

Waiting Room

When users dials into a conference which is not started the users are placed in a virtual waiting room (put on hold) for a predefined period of time until the conference starts.

The predefined period of time is defined in the Waiting Room

Timer setting found under the Single Dial In Number configu-

ration.

Password Protection

The creation of each conference can be password protected as well as accessing the conference.

When a participant is dialling into a personal conference, which requires a Create Password and that is currently not started, the participant will be asked to start the conference with the create password or wait until it starts. The participant will automatically be connected when the conference is started.

No Password Protection

If no Create Password has been defined, the conference will start immediately when a participant calls in.

Create Password

The Create Password is used to authenticate the creator of the conference.

This is a static password used to authenticate the owner of the the conference when the conference is created, and hence should not be distributed to anyone else than the conference owner.

If a Create Password is set, the first participant must be authenticated as the owner when dialling into the conference. If the field is left blank, there will be no authentication on the conference.

The password must consist of numbers only as it is entered by using DTMF on the remote control when creating/accessing the conference.

Access Password

The Access Password is used to authenticate the particpants in a conference and is defined by the creator of the conference.

This field is only enabled when you have defined a Create Password.

True:

If the Access Password is set to True, the creator is asked to provide a conference password, valid only for the conference at hand. Other participants in this conference must be informed on this password, to be able to access the conference.

False: If Access Password is set to False, the conference will not have any authentication.

Network

If a conference participant is experiencing poor network quality it will send Fast Update Requests (FUR) to the encoder in the MCU to make it refresh the picture. This can be observed as a short flash in the picture.

Poor network conditions for one participant may have a deteriorating effect on the video quality for some of the participants in the conference.

In an effort to reduce this effect the Network Error Handling can be used.


None: Set to None to not enable error handling.

IPLR:

Set to IPLR (Intelligent Packet Loss Recovery) if one or more sites are experiencing network errors.

FURBlock:

Set to FURBlock (Fast Update Request Block) if one or more sites are experiencing network errors.

The Network Error Handling may be set to IPLR (Intelligent Packet Loss

Recovery) or FURBlock (Fast Update Request Block) if one or more sites are experiencing network errors.

IPLR Robust Mode

Auto: When set to Auto, the IPLR Robust Mode is turned on for each encoder when needed.

On: When set to On, the IPLR Robust Mode is on for all encoders.

Please refer to

Intelligent Packet Loss Recovery (IPLR) in the Appendi-

ces section.

FUR Block Sites

Auto: When set to Auto, the FUR’s from sites that send too many will be blocked.

On: When set to On, the FUR’s from all sites will be blocked.


FUR Filter Interval

LED’s for the E1/T1 PRI Interface Card (IIC-8)

You will find 4 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for each PRI interface which provides information about PRI-line status.

Channel Service Unit (CSU)

The PRI interface may require an external CSU (Channel

Service Unit) depending on the network layout.

The Cable Length in the PRI configuration menu specifies the distance from the MCU to the CSU or last repeater.

Read the LEDs for each of the PRI interfaces on the E1/T1 Interface Card from left to right:

D-channel is Down

Red Alarm

or

Loss of Signal

(LOS) indicates that there is no signal and thus no framing info received. The same effect will be obtained by pulling out the PRI cable. This may also be caused by a broken connector in the receive (RX) part of the cable.

ETSI (Euro ISDN)

Yellow Alarm or Remote Alarm Indicator (RAI) means that the MCU is receiving framing info, but in this framing info the other side tells the MCU that it is not reading the MCU’s transmitted framing info. Typically, this may be a broken connector in the transmit (TX) part of the PRI cable. This could also indicate weak or noisy signal in the transmit (TX) part of the PRI cable.

!"

The AT&T, Japan ISDN and National protocols gives a total of 23 B-channels per port

!"

The ETSI protocol gives a total of 30 B-channels per port.

Green LED or Layer 1 OK doubles as a clock source indicator. The LED for one of the eight interfaces will flash to indicate that the interface is being used as the clock source for H.110 bus.

Red Alarm or D-Channel Down indicates that the ISDN out-of-band signalling channel is down. The D channel carries user-network signalling information and is primarily used in call setup and teardown. Note that for NFAS the D channel may not be used for all PRI interfaces. A red LED may thus not indicate anything wrong.

About the Quality of Service (QoS) feature

Quality of Service (QoS)

All QoS features must be enabled in your IP network in addition to correct MPS configuration.

QoS Configuration for the MPS is done from

System Configuration in the web interface, see

System Configuration > QoS

IP Precedence

IP Precedence is a classification of packets from 0 (low priority) to 7 (high priority). The values 6 and 7 are typically reserved for congestion control.

IP Precedence helps a router select what kind of traffic to prioritize. By means of queue mechanisms, it can select which packets to send first and which to throw away. Some information/traffic is time critical while other is not, and classification is used to differentiate this traffic.

One may set separate IP Precedence for Signalling, Audio, Video and Data

(values 1 – 7) as well as turn IP Precedence off.

DiffServ

DiffServ defines which priority audio, video, data and signalling packets should have in an IP network.

IP Precedence

IP Precedence defines which priority audio, video, data and signalling should have in an IP network.

The higher the number, the higher the priority.

The

Auto

setting uses the following values for IP Precedence:

!"

Signalling = 4

!"

Audio/Video = 4

!"

Data = 4 (e.g. FECC commands)

Separate priorities for Audio and Video are not recommended as this may cause reduced quality and lipsync problems.

Type of Service

Type of Service enables the user to define what type of connection that should be chosen for the

IP traffic. Helps a router select a routing path when multiple paths are available.

Differential Services (DiffServ)

Differential services is another method of QoS offered by TANDBERG that utilizes 6 bits of the Type of Services Byte. Differential services is an extension of IP Precedence, where one can set values from 0 to 63

(63=Highest priority). This method is currently replacing IP Precedence as the preferred method for setting priority of packet traffic.

IP Type of Service (TOS)

TOS helps a router select a routing path when multiple paths are available.

4CIF Digital Clarity

TF

This feature allows for H.263 4CIF (704x576) live video images to be sent to the far end, allowing 4 times higher resolution than traditional videoconferencing systems for displaying document camera video and other high-resolution images.

H.263+ Custom Video Formats (Digital

Clarity

TF)

TANDBERG MPS supports encoding of a true

XGA, SVGA, VGA and NTSC (SIF) resolutions.

!"

This allows the TANDBERG MPS to send all video signals in their true native resolution.

!"

If the source is sending XGA, SVGA or VGA, the receiving system will decode and display the same quality image as was sent by the transmitting side.

!"

Also supported under the H.263+ custom formats is TANDBERG’s use of SIF (Source

NTSC image over traditional CIF based MCU.

H.263+ Widescreen formats

TANDBERG MPS support encoding of true widescreen (16:9) formats: w288p (512x288) and w576p (1024x576).

!"

Widescreen formats will only be used if all participants in the conference support it.

!"

When encoding widescreen formats, the

TANDBERG MPS will use special layouts designed to utilize widescreen monitors.

See

Conference Layouts

in the Create Conference view for a list of all available layouts.

Dual Video Stream

- DuoVideo

TF

/ H.239 / BFCP


TF

/H.239/BFCP) is a feature that allows two simultaneous video streams to be transmitted from one system and be received by the other participants. This feature is supported on both H.320, H.323 and SIP.

This allows a presenter and their presentation to be seen at the same time, in much the same way you would expect them to be in a local room environment.

If systems in a conference are TANDBERG dual monitor systems, they will receive the presenter on one screen and the presentation (PC, Doc-

Cam, VCR, DVD etc) on the other.

If the TANDBERG system is a single monitor system with default settings, the video stream will automatically switch from the presenter to the presentation. This change will take place on the fly, with the displayed stream returning to the presenter when the Dual Video Stream is disconnected.

Video towards all the other video sites capable of receiving it.

2.

Now, if another site requests for Dual Video the TANDBERG MPS will automatically transmit this new site’s Dual Video to the rest of the sites if possible.

If H.239 or BFCP is not supported by a H.320 site, the TANDBERG MPS uses High Speed Data rates (HSD) for DuoVideo

TF

. If any of these sites does not support HSD, DuoVideo

TF

will still be transmitted to the sites supporting this. The sites not supporting HSD will in that case receive the same video stream as the others see on their main video (and therefore not use all of their available meeting rate).

Dual Video Streams are available in both Continuous Presence mode (CP) and Voice Switched mode or when one site has the floor, regardless of which site is broadcasted on the main stream.

Note that when running DuoVideo

TF

the video algorithm for the main stream will not be H.264.

In the TANDBERG MPS there is limited support for a mix of DuoVideo

TF

and H.239/BFCP in the same conference. Other manufacturer’s systems supporting neither DuoVideo

TF

nor H.239/BFCP can be in the same conference when the second video stream is sent, but they will not be able to receive the second stream. In a mixed conference, it is not possible to take over floor without releasing the current floor holder first.

Automatic Bandwidth Adjustment

When Dual Video is sent to the sites, the TAND-

BERG MPS will automatically use approximately

1/2 of the original video bandwidth for the main video stream and the other half for Dual Video.

When Dual Video is no longer transmitted, the

TANDBERG MPS will automatically upspeed the main video stream to its original bandwidth.

The TANDBERG MPS is capable of receiving/ transmitting two simultaneous video signals from/to all sites.

When one of the sites requests for Dual

Video the TANDBERG MPS will open Dual

The ITU standard H.264

The ITU standard H.264 provides considerably better video quality at lower bandwidths.

It has been developed with strong TANDBERG participation in joint workgroups of ITU-T and ISO.

!"

H.264 is based on the ISO standard MPEG-4.

!"

The TANDBERG MPS supports H.264 video compression in both CIF and SIF resolutions.

!"

An encoding and decoding rate of a high-quality 30 frames per second is achieved.

!"

H.264 may be used on the TANDBERG MPS for endpoint up to 768kbps.


In Optimal Voice Switched mode the MPS will automatically send the optimal video quality to all participants capable of receiving the video quality of the active speaker.

!"

To get the optimal quality video, no icons or text are added to the video in this mode.

About other features

IP Adaptive Bandwidth Management

The MCU never produces more traffic than needed, for better utilization of network resources.

Most of the data sent in a videoconference is video data. Thus, by incorporating smart video algorithms, the codec sends no more video data than necessary. Little movement in the picture gives low bit rate; while a lot of movement gives higher bit rate.

The MCU regulates outgoing and incoming media bit rates by means of flow control signalling.

An example of this is automatic adjustment of total bandwidth used when DuoVideo

TF

is opened.


Asymmetrical Encoders and Decoders

Realizing there are many different types of videoconferencing units in the world that do not support the same video and audio algorithms,

TANDBERG has implemented asymmetrical encoders and decoders.

This feature allows different systems with different video and audio algorithms to communicate with the TANDBERG MPS without having to settle on the best common protocols.

The asymmetrical nature of the TANDBERG MPS allows the MCU to accept any of its supported algorithms in any combination from any site and will always transmit the highest possible quality video and audio to the far end.

By this, the TANDBERG MPS can send H.263 and receive H.264 at the same time.


Lip Sync

IP is an asynchronous network that sends audio and video separately. It is easy to see that these two streams may not arrive at their destination at the same time. Lip sync problems are a certainty if precautions are not taken in the implementation of the codec.

TANDBERG MPS supports sequencing of the video and audio IP packets and the reassembly and reordering of these packets at the destination if they are received out of order. If the video stream is received before the audio stream, the

TANDBERG MPS will buffer this data until the necessary audio is received and reassemble the data that the destination codec will use to reproduce a clear image with exceptional sound quality and lip sync.

Administrator Guide

Latency & Jitter

Latency

is defined as the time between a node sending a message and receipt of the message by another node.

TANDBERG MPS can handle any value of latency however, the higher the latency, the longer the delay in video and audio. This may lead to conferences with undesirable delays causing participants to interrupt and speak simultaneously.

Jitter

is defined as the difference in latency.

Where constant latency simply produces delays in audio and video, jitter can have a more adverse effect. Jitter causes packets to arrive out of order or at the wrong times, which again leads to packet loss.

TANDBERG MPS can manage packets with jitter up to 200ms. If excessive packet loss is detected, the TANDBERG MPS will downspeed the connection until acceptable packet loss is achieved.

Flow Control (Downspeeding

TF

)

The TANDBERG MPS uses Flow Control to control the amount of information being received from each endpoint. If the TANDBERG MPS requires bandwidth to be changed, the TANDBERG MPS will use Flow Control to request the other endpoint to drop the bandwidth.

If the ISDN networks drops channels during a call, the conference will not shut down but adjust to the remaining number of available channels. This ability is called “Downspeeding” and is in accordance to the BONDING Mode 1 standard.

ISDN Downspeeding will be started when one of the following actions occurs:

1.

Fallback to 2xH.221 call when no BONDING framing is found

2.

Non-matching number of channels (N) during

BONDING setup (e.g. N=4 on site A, N=6 on site B)

3.

Downspeeding during call setup caused by a channel that will not connect

4.

Disconnect and downspeed if a channel will not sync

5.

Downspeeding when detecting B-channels that are looped

6.

Downspeeding if a channel drops during the call

The TANDBERG system will start the BONDING synchronization procedure if there is a long fatal failure situation:

7.

Extended loss of H.221 framing

8.

Continuous BCH framing error in the video stream. If then a channel fails to sync, it will be disconnected (as mentioned in 4.)

Packet Loss

This feature comes also in handy when using

H.323 over networks with poor QoS such as the

Internet.

If TANDBERG MPS detects excessive packet loss, it will use Flow Control to downspeed the far end to overcome the packet loss problem.

Packet loss can occur when routers become overloaded and discard packets or when the receiving video system cannot keep up with the transmitting video system.

Downspeeding on IP

The TANDBERG system follows a multilevel intelligent adaptive algorithm based on measured packet loss when downspeeding on IP.

Different from the ISDN downspeeding, the system will not change Audio and Video algorithms during the downspeeding of an IP call.

Intelligent Packet Loss Recovery (IPLR

TF

)

IPLR is an ITU standard based packet loss compensation for

H.323 that improves received video into the TANDBERG MPS.

IPLR supports all video protocols and resolutions that TAND-

BERG MPS already has implemented and is compatible with all terminals and Gateways. This method works with other vendors’ endpoints as well as MCUs. Video quality is improved on the transmitted and received video streams.

IPLR is a special algorithm developed at TANDBERG that will make efforts to reconstruct the lost packets and reduce the visual effects caused by packet losses.

If the TANDBERG MPS experiences packet loss from an endpoint, it will ask the endpoint to handle packet loss. This requires Intelligent Packet Loss Recovery functionality on the endpoint.

See White Paper TANDBERG and Packet Loss on http://www.tandberg.com/docs for details on the IPLR

TF

feature.


Inband Changing of Video and Audio Algorithms

TANDBERG MPS is able to change its video and audio algorithms

‘on the fly’ during a conference. This is valuable when switching between the live user image (CIF) and the live PC (XGA, SVGA,

VGA).

Administrator Guide

Transcoding and Ratematching

Audio:

Transcoding: Each of the sites is negotiating the audio algorithm individually. So in a Multipoint call we support any combination of all the supported audio codecs (G.711, G.722, G.722.1, G.728,

MPEG-4 AAC-LD). The same goes for ratematching, any combination is supported.

Video:

All sites are divided into groups of similar coding (H.261, H.263 and H.264) and rate capabilities. The number of groups and their properties depends on the sites connected to the conference. During a conference call, group properties might change, and also sites might move between groups.

Distributed MCUs

Cascaded MPS

The TANDBERG MPS supports two-level cascading, so the

TANDBERG MPS can be cascaded with other TANDBERG MPSs to increase the number of participants in one conference.

By simply dialling from one TANDBERG MPS to other TANDBERG

MPSs one will achieve a distributed setup.

In this case the TANDBERG MPS dialling out will be defined as the master MCU and all other MCUs as slaves.

The connection between the MCUs (or the Endpoints) can be IP,

ISDN or V.35.

The slave MCUs will automatically be set to Voice Switched while the master MCU may be set to one of the CP layouts or kept in Voice Switched mode.

Secure Conference (Encryption)

Built-In Encryption

The TANDBERG MPS has built-in encryption of audio, video and data for:

!"

H.323 meetings (based on ITU standard H.235 v2&v3)

!"

H.320 meetings (based on ITU standard H.233 and H.234)

Common Secret Key

The establishment of the common secret key is done through the computation of a Diffie-Hellman (DH) algorithm. The DH method uses primes numbers of 512 bits length for DES and 1024 bits for AES.

NOTE: Encrypted SIP calls is a Beta feature, and you should not run with Encrypted SIP calls in a production environment, it has limited support and is for evaluation and testing use only.

Shared Secret Key

The shared secret key is then used as a key for the selected encryption algorithm, which encrypts the session keys. When the session key is collected by the remote end, encryption of the audio, video and data channels can start.

Encryption Mode

The administrator decides, when setting up the conference, whether or not a conference shall be in encrypted mode or in unencrypted mode. It is not possible to change the mode when the conference is active with calls.

Establishment of Encryption

The encryption will be established automatically when all endpoints in the conference supports encryption, with automatic key generation (and the conference is set up for encryption mode of operation).

Encryption Algorithm

The encryption algorithms used in the TANDBERG system are:

!"

The Data Encryption Standard (DES) with a 56 bits session key

!"

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 128 bits session key

Encryption Support

Encryption is supported on all bandwidths. Encryption is also supported for DuoVideo

TF

and H.239.

For an encrypted conference, all endpoints must support AES or

DES encryption.

Typical Setup of an Encrypted Call

Although there are some differences between H.323 and H.320, a typical set-up of an encrypted call can be defined as follow:

1.

Establishment of a common secret key and selection of an encryption algorithm.

2.

Exchange of keys according to the common secret key and the selected encryption algorithm.

3.

Start the encryption.

Encryption Configuration

Encryption is configured when you create a conference or a conference template from the web interface, see

MCU Overview >

Encryption Mode

!"

If Encryption Mode is set to Auto, the TANDBERG MPS accepts both AES and DES encryption.

!"

If Encryption Mode is set to AES, all participants must have

AES in order to join the conference.

Scenarios

!"

If a site entering an encrypted conference does not support encryption, a picture will be shown, informing that the conference requires encryption.

!"

If a site connected to an encrypted conference starts sending unencrypted data, that site will be taken out of the conference.

!"

If the TANDBERG MPS administrator has forced the MCU to require only e.g. AES encryption then, all participants must have AES in order to join the conference.

For more information on AES and DES please visit the National

Institute of Standards and Technology at http://www.nist.gov

.

TANDBERG provides a comprehensive set of system management tools, and is committed to the use of standards-based tools.

Management using a standard Web-browser

The web-browser is the most common way to manage the TANDBERG MPS giving access to all managing features of the MCU.

Using a standard Web-browser (Mozilla Firefox,

MS Internet Explorer 5.0 or later), the user may perform all forms of meeting set-up and control, but also diagnostics, troubleshooting and software upgrade.

The TANDBERG MPS can be managed in many ways:

!"

The internal web server allows for remote control of the MCU using a web interface from anywhere on the LAN/WAN/Internet

(open browser http://System Controller

Board-ipaddress).

!"

SSH and Telnet for local control and diagnostics.

!"

The TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) may also be used to manage the system and the TANDBERG Scheduler may be used to schedule conference meetings (Optional).

!"

XML and SOAP interface for full management of MPS through remote application.

Open a web browser and enter:

!"

<http://MPS IP Address> or

!" <https://MPS IP Address>

!"

Example: < http://10.0.5.203>

Management using a SSH Client

The TANDBERG MPS also supports remote login through Secure Shell (SSH).This gives the user the same functionality as from the web interface. In addition it provides the user with advanced debug capabilities. Both ends of the client/server connection are authenticated using a digital certificate, and passwords are protected by being encrypted.

This interface is a command-line type interface, not a graphical interface like the Web-browser interface. The system supports multiple simultaneous SSH sessions.

See the TANDBERG MPS API guide for details on the API commands available via SSH.

Management using XML

System Management by using XML can be done from

System Configuration > XML Document

.

The XML Uploading page, allows administrators to upload configuration changes to the MPS in one go, instead of manually setting each entry via the web interface.

Management using SOAP

By using the MPS WSDL file, developers can manage the MPS through SOAP web services.

The wsdl file can be accessed on the MPS through a standard web browser at

<http://<MPS IP Address/webservices.

wsdl>

These web services reflect the same functionality as can be found in the document:

<http://MPS IP Address/command.xml>

Management using TMS

Management of the MPS can also be achieved by registering the MPS with TMS (TANDBERG

Management Suite).

Once registered to TMS, administrators will be able to update many of the MPS settings.

TMS users will also have the ability to automatically schedule conferences on the MPS using the settings defined in TMS.

Backup & Restore

From the TMS (TANDBERG Management Suite) administrators can backup and restore the configuration.

Management using a standard Telnet Client

This gives the user the same functionality as SSH and provides the user with advanced debug capabilities. The interface is a commandline type interface.

The system supports multiple simultaneous

Telnet sessions.

Using SCP for Personal Conferences and

Gateway Rules backup.

1.

Login to the MPS using an SCP program such as WinSCP (Note that SSH must be enabled on the MPS to use SCP).

2.

The user name will be “ root” and the password will be the normal MPS password

(default is TANDBERG).

3.

Navigate to the “ persistent” folder.

!"

For Personal Conferences copy the

<conferencedefinitions.xml> file

!"

For Gateway rules copy the

<mappingrules.xml> file

Configuring Microsoft Office Live Communications

Server (LCS) 2005, SP1

This section will illustrate how to setup the Live Communication Server (LCS) to work properly with the MPS.

SIP (Session Initiated Protocol)

Software version J3 and above for the TANDBERG MPS has support for the Session Initiated Protocol (SIP).

The first version of support will be compatible with the

Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS) 2005, SP1.

LCS will serve as both an authentication authority and a

SIP Proxy to the MPS for both incoming and outgoing SIP calls.

Configuring LCS and MPS

1.

The Microsoft Live Communication Server (LCS) should be configured prior to configuring the MPS unit.

2.

In order to facilitate proper communication between the MPS and LCS, the LCS must be configured to see the MPS as a trusted site as well as setup the dialplan to forward appropriate calls to the MPS.

Configuring LCS

In order for the MPS to receive calls on the SIP network, the LCS is configured to allow the MPS to receive multiple calls on multiple Dial In numbers.

LCS dialling works on a prefix basis:

!"

A specific prefix is assigned to forward all calls to a specific host. This prefix can be anything and is usually followed by a wildcard identifier * .

Add a Route

When the MPS is configured as an Authorized Host to the

LCS, the LCS needs to be told what SIP URIs should be forwarded to the MPS. This is done by configuring a route in the Live Communication Server.

The SIP URI to reach the MPS will be the combination of the User and Domain fields.

Under the same server properties window (see previous page), select the

Routing

tab and press

Add…

to open the Add Static Route dialog and add a new routing pattern:

1.

The User field is used to specify which URIs will be forwarded by this rule. Wildcards (

*

) are allowed.

2.

In the Domain box, enter the domain that will be used with the SIP URI for the MPS. The SIP URI to reach the

MPS will be the combination of the user and domain fields. Example: <

[email protected]>

3.

Under Next Hop , select IP Address and enter the IP address of the System Controller Board of the MPS.

4.

Set Transport to TCP

5.

Set

Port

to

5060

.

6.

Press the OK button to save the route

7.

Press the OK button to close the properties window of the server.

Example #1:

If you want all calls coming in to <

MPS> to be forwarded to the MPS, enter <MPS> in the

User field.

LCS does allow a wildcard entry. Enter the <

*> character if a wildcard entry is desired. For example, if all calls beginning with <MPS> should be forwarded to the MPS itself (e.g. <

[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>), then enter <MPS*> in the user field.

This completes the configuration of the LCS server. Next, the MPS will need to be configured to use the LCS server.

In the

Domain

box, enter the domain that will be used with the SIP URI for the MPS. The complete SIP URI to reach the MPS will be the combination of the user and domain fields. Example: <

[email protected]>

Under

Next Hop

, select

IP Address

and enter the IP address of the controller card of the MPS. Make sure

Transport

is set to

TCP

and

Port is

5060

. The completed route should look like the figure to the left. Press

OK

to save the route, and press

OK

again to close the Properties window of the server.

Verify the Configuration

Once the MPS has restarted, the Overview page of the MPS should show that the SIP status is Server Active .

Verify that the configuration is active before you continue.


Configuring SIP Dial In Numbers

When

Server Active

has been verified, it is time to configure the appropriate SIP Dial In Numbers for the MPS system. Navigate to MCU Configuration > Dial In Numbers.

Within this screen, enter all the appropriate SIP URIs for the appropriate

Dial In Conferences and Single Dial In Numbers.

All SIP URIs, configured in the MPS, must be fully qualified domain

names with the domain name that is configured under the Routing

configuration within the LCS.

The prefix, entered under the Routing configuration, must be

included within all of the SIP names for the MPS to properly receive the calls.

Once all of the dial-in URIs are configured, the MPS is ready to make and receive SIP calls from other SIP devices registered to the LCS network.

Example #1:

If the domain name for the LCS server is < lcs.int> and the SIP prefix for the MPS was configured as <

MPS*>, your dial in numbers must begin with <

MPS> and end with <@lcs.int> in order to be valid, e.g.:

<

[email protected]>

<

[email protected]>

<

[email protected]>

<

Configuring SIP Dial In Numbers

When

Server Active

has been verified, it is time to configure the appropriate SIP Dial In Numbers for the MPS system. Navigate to MCU Configuration > Dial In Numbers > Personal Conferences.

Within this screen, enter all the appropriate SIP URIs.

All SIP URIs, configured in the MPS, must be fully qualified domain

names with the domain name that is configured under the Routing

configuration within the OCS.

Once all of the dial-in URIs are configured, the MPS is ready to make and receive SIP calls from other SIP devices registered to the OCS network.

Example #1:

If the domain name of the OCS server is < ocs.int>, and your subdomain for MPS calls is < mps.ocs.int>, your dial in numbers use the domain < mps.ocs.int>, e.g.:

“[email protected]” [email protected]
