VT Advantage & Polycom videoconferencing

| Anybody using this? We set up 4 phones with the video kits to experiment
with. They work well, and are very cool, but I have this "all dressed up
with no place to go" feeling. We'd really like to be able to call a Polycom
conference bridge or gatekeeper, though, rather than just another phone.
About all I know about H.323 is how to spell it, which looks like a real
problem as well, although we're using a 3640 (soon to be a 2821) as an H.323
gateway to a Telco PRI, so we may be closer than I think to being able to do
this. Any high-level conceptual advice and/or experience would be
appreciated.

| I'm going through the same thing myself. It's going to be a slow process since it's low priority for us, but I'll report back to the list with anything I have. One thing I found helpful was a datasheet from Tandberg, which is what I will be concentrating on which shows some neat things. The Tandberg devices as SCCP devices and act just like phones.

| We're using this setup as well. We have the Tandberg 1000 MXP for Cisco
CallManager (the SCCP version) with our VT Advantages. We also could
call into our Tandberg 6000 units using H.323. Of course, this is all
video calls (2 way call), not video conferences because we do not have a
hardware conference bridge.

| That's interesting information... it had always been my understanding
(explained to me by cisco and Tandberg) that when you had a SCCP
Tandberg unit it was at the expense of H.323. I was told that for a
CallManager integrated Video Endpoint I would need a cisco gateway to
transcode the SCCP video to H.323 to allow it to interact with my
existing Tandberg infrastructure. I guess maybe I need to take another
look at this!
Thanks,
Adam
