What is <strong>LiveGateway</strong>?<br />

<strong>LiveGateway</strong> is a bi-directional H.320/H.323-compliant gateway that provides LiveLAN and other H.323compliant<br />

clients access to H.320-compliant systems and other LiveLAN clients across an Integrated Services<br />

Digital Network (ISDN) WAN.<br />

<strong>LiveGateway</strong> includes a full-length ISA/EISA board and a server application installed on a Windows NT<br />

TCP/IP server and, if you are using <strong>PictureTel</strong> LiveManager, an optional <strong>LiveGateway</strong> Console integrated<br />

within and managed through LiveManager via SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). By using this<br />

<strong>LiveGateway</strong> Console, a LAN administrator can test, troubleshoot, and configure the ISDN network<br />

characteristics of the <strong>LiveGateway</strong>(s) installed throughout the network.<br />

Features of <strong>LiveGateway</strong><br />

<strong>LiveGateway</strong> includes the following features:<br />

• H.323 to H.320 and H.320 to H.323 calling capability<br />

• Custom H.320 audio clip utility<br />

• <strong>Support</strong> for Continuous Presence<br />

• Single step dialing from supported endpoints<br />

• Option to bypass automated attendant in favor of direct connection to operator<br />

• DTMF Dialing or Operator Station inbound call support<br />

• Up to four <strong>LiveGateway</strong>s (boards) may be loaded on one PC (server)<br />

• Translation of H.323 control to H.320 control services (call setup, call teardown)<br />

• Audio transcoding between H.323 audio formats and H.320 audio formats
