NAT ADDRESS

This must be the external/glo-
bal IP-address to the router with
NAT support. Packets sent to
the router will then be routed to
the system. In the router, the
following ports must be routed
to the system’s IP-address:

Port 1720
Port 5555-5560
Port 2326-2365

H.323 PORTS
Static

. When selecting static

H.323 ports for TCP connec-
tions the ports 5555 to 5574
will be used for Q.931 and
H.245 respectively.

Dynamic

locate which ports to use when
opening a TCP connection.
The reason for doing this is
to avoid using the same ports
for subsequent calls as some
firewall consider this as a sign
of attack.

About Network Address Translation (NAT)

NAT, Network Address Translation, is used when a PC
and a videoconferencing system are connected to a router
with NAT support. NAT support in the videoconferencing
system enables proper exchange of audio/video data
when connected to an external videoconferencing system
(when the IP traffic goes through a NAT router). When NAT
is

On

, the NAT Server Address will be shown in the startup-

menu:

My IP Address: 10.0.2.1

.

NAT

On

. The system will signal the configured

“NAT Address” in place of its own IP-address

within Q.931 and H.245.

Auto

. The system will try to determine if the

“NAT Address” or the real IP-address should

be used within signalling. This is done to
make it possible to place calls to endpoints
on the LAN as well as endpoints on the
WAN.
