<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2>We have the polycom sp and
it does NOT have an interface with CM. you will most likely have to use
the MCU to connect to a CM video conference via a
gatekeeper.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy
size=2><o:p> </o:p></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2>Some MCU do have a built
in Gatekeeper. I suggest just getting your self an old 26xx series router
and the IP Plus IOS and doing it with one of these.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy
size=2><o:p> </o:p></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2>The MCU will just be a
e.164 off the gatekeeper. Each h323 video unit will just dial the e164 to
get into the conference.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy
size=2><o:p> </o:p></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2>Just as an FYI you will
most likely have to exchange gatekeeper info with other company’s if you are
plan to have them dial into your conferences.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">multi-point</st1:PlaceType>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">conferencing</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>. Right now, I
just have a Viewstation EX, so I only do point-to-point conferences with other
companies. I am putting in an order for a 3511 and 2 more video conference
cameras, so my 2 biggest branch offices. I am hoping to have a 3-way video
conference happening by the end of January. However, I am having a very
hard time just connecting my Polycom Viewstation to CallManager. Is it even
connectable? It seems the viewstation only has a “gatekeeper” IP setting for
what I assume will be the IP of the 3511. Where do I set the IP of
CallManager on this polycom?<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

of Polycoms but will be getting a Tandberg shortly. Both seem to be
good. It really comes down to features. I’m hoping I can get rid of
the old Vtel units we have soon. Stay away from
VTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2>I am planning to setup a 3511 IP/VC to
handle 4 branch offices and their video conference needs. I currently have a
Polycom Viewstation EX, but with the upcoming IP/VC installation, I didnt know
if buying 3 more of those was the right idea. What is everyone using out there
for video conferencing with their IP/VC? Tandbergs? Polycoms? Does getting
MeetingPlace really help in small conferences?<BR><BR>thanks for the
