Networks

This chapter covers network types used worldwide. Please note that not all

network types are available in all countries.

Getting the Network Ready

Before you begin configuring the network options, you must make sure your

network is ready for video conferencing.
To begin, refer to the Network Planning Worksheets for Video Conferencing

document, available on the Polycom web site. This document contains

information you need to prepare your network.

Connecting to the LAN

You must connect the system to a LAN to:

Make H.323 or SIP calls

Use a Global Directory Server

Register with a management system

Access the web interface

Use People+Content™ IP

Configuring LAN Properties

In IPv4/IPv6 hybrid networks, the system tries IPv6 first. If that fails, the

system tries to place the call using the IPv4 address.
