Web User Interface (UI)
has set a DNS server address that can resolve this domain name in “System
Configuration -> IP Settings”.
After successfully setting up the abovementioned configurations, the RSS
2000 web login page’s “Login Domain” pull-down list will be enabled and
list the domain names of all set up Active Directory Servers
Now, the user can select an appropriate domain name from the pull-down
list, and use a user name on this domain to directly log in. When the users
using this domain directly login to RSS 2000 web management, the users will
only have the privileges of a normal user.
Recording Settings
The RSS 2000 supports use of the call connection mode to record H.323
endpoint (or MCU) conferences. This is to say that an endpoint (or MCU) can
connect with the RSS 2000, which then decodes and stores the endpoint (or
MCU) bit stream. Data is stored in two formats: raw bit stream and WMV
format. Raw bit stream is used for H.323 Playback, while the WMV files are
used for the Web live streaming and Web archives view.
The RSS 2000 provides two types of recording modes: Single point recording
and point-to-point recording.
Single point recording involves use of an endpoint or MCU to directly call
the RSS 2000 and establish a connection. During single point recording, the
RSS 2000 stores the stream of audio and video data from the endpoint or
MCU. The RSS 2000 supports recording in the following video formats:
H.261/H.263/H.264, and the following audio
formats:G.711A/G.711U/G.722/G.728/G.722_1C/Siren14/Siren 22 Stereo.
There is an option the user or administrator can “check” to record the H.239
content at the beginning of each recording. When selected, the Content will
be recorded so that it shows up in a second window and the video/audio
and content streams can be separated at a later time.
The RSS 2000 can support two simultaneous streams. Practically, that would
be two audio/video only recordings or a single audio/video with content
recording.
Point-to-point recording occurs when two endpoints call into a
pre-established RSS 2000 recording room. The RSS 2000 will store the bit
streams from the two endpoints as a file. The endpoints can each view the
images from the two participating endpoints. When only one endpoint enters
a recording room and begins recording, the endpoint will only view its own
loopback image. Point-to-point recording also supports H.239 dual-stream
recording. The RSS 2000 can support at most one point-to-point recording,
with or without H.239 content, and only when there are no single point
recordings occurring.
The RSS 2000 supports H.239 only. To record the proprietary People + Content
standard, utilize a Polycom MGC to transcode the proprietary content to H.239.
The RSS 2000 can support a maximum of 2 single point recording tasks, or one
point-to-point recording.
