Hello Andrew, I’m managing a VC network of almost 70 public high
schools, all with legacy Polycom Viewstations, and with every imaginable firewall,
connecting from all over the state via Internet. I’m doing almost exactly
what you are asking about (If you look at the mailing list posting before yours’
you’ll also see some of what I’m not succeeding at) in the testing
phase. I think I may already have a working configuration for what you want.
Drop me an email and we can exchange phone #. GnuGK has its own firewall traversal, and it works very well
in the most common situations (at least in my experience). It’s related
to the H.460.18/19 approach that the V2IU as well as the Tandberg and Radvision
solutions support, but it’s not the same. (But you may want to look up
some of Simon Horne’s posts on this list to see the status of H.460 in
H323plus and GnuGK development). It also proxies (which is important) and
neighbors well (which helps in a situation like yours and mine, with one
central phone number database). The problem with those commercial solutions for us is
the licensing sucks: Polycom lets you use any number of clients up to the
bandwidth of the unit, but doesn’t give you a software client for old
non-H.460 endpoints. Radvision gives you a software client but charges too much
per user (for our situation – we occasionally have 50+ schools in a
call). Hope I can be of some help, --Paul Paul E. Garstki "I'm Paul Garstki, and I approve this message." |
