H.323 name when calling this system: Enter a name in the text
box. This name is displayed on the far site during a
videoconference. Use a name which is easy to remember such as
the name of the conference room.
• H.323 extension (E.164): E.164 is a naming scheme used
to identify the ViewStation with the H.323 name.
Auto H.323 Dialing: The ViewStation determines how a call is
placed based on the number dialed and speed selected. For
example:
For H.320 calls: If the number dialed is 555-1234 and the speed
is 2X64, the ViewStation provides an additional field to place dials
a nonbonding H.320 call.
For H.323 calls: If the number is 255.255.255.90 and the speed
is 2X128 then the ViewStation dials a nonbonding H.323 call, but
only provides one placeholder for H.323 calls.
Note If you dial by DNS name or PBX extension, do not check
this feature.
• Checked: The ViewStation assumes the video call is for
