Implementing video conferencing in an existing voice network

I have been tasked with adding two Polycom video conferencing stations to our existing LAN. Currently, we have Voice on VLAN 100 and Data is on VLAN 1. (I know, I know...VLAN 1 ). AutoQoS has been enabled on our switches. My questions: 1) Should the two VC stations be assigned to their own VLAN? 2) Is AutoQoS still an option for me?
This site is connected to our others via VPN over broadband. I realize I can't do end-to-end QoS using this WAN connection, but I'd like to try and push the video to the front of the line as it leaves.
Thanks for your time.

Hello,
Yes you can add your Jetpack to your existing WiFi network, but it is going to take some configuration to get the job done. What you need to perform is a process called "Cascading" your routers together. In a nutshell, two routers cannot exist on the same network unless they know how to communicate to each other. You need to setup the routers so that one is the Primary and the other is the secondary.
How to Cascade Routers:
http://www.wikihow.com/Cascade-Routers
However, the catch with cascading routers when a Jetpack is involved is that a Jetpack is a wireless only device. The USB Tethering feature of the 4620L will not be sufficient for cascading, it must be a WiFi connection that links the Jetpack to the other router. You may have to swap out your current home WiFi router with one that has a wireless bridging feature. A quick example would be the Pepwave Surf Mini.
Here is a diagram of how the new home network could look:
Take a look and let me know if you have any questions. Post your home router model for us to review if you are curious to know if it can connect directly to the Jetpack or not.

Best option for video conferencing in ios app ?

Requirement for Video Conferencing on CallManager 3.3

hi,
can anyone help me on this? Im preparing for a proposal for implementing video conferencing on a CallManager 3.3. VidCon should be used on the HQ and two branch offices.
Tnx...

the need to use video conferencing should be considered as a factor for upgrading your call managers to at least 4.1.
many enhancements, fixes and features, especially for video conferencing, have been introduced since 3.3.
if you required vidConf with 3.3, you should consider using a polycom solution.
http://polycom.com/products_services/1,1443,pw-35,00.html
the VSX series is pretty nice with straight forward config/administration and of course, superb polycom technology/support.
(may not be the cheapest solution but it's definately stable and works well)
NOTE: the cisco IP Video Phones, 7985G, may be able to fulfill your needs; especially if vidConf is only intraCompany.
(requires 7985 phones, ccm 4.1+ and a cisco MCU)

Unable to hear Voice in Video Conferencing.

One of my user has organized the Video Conferencing, where his voice is heard at the other end. But the Presenter is unable to hear the voice.
Have checked the Policies have no issues. What could be the next step to check and share your thoughts.
Thanks,
D

Can the presenter hear any audio at all?
Can you confirm the locations of each user involved in terms of inside the network or connecting via edge?

ISDN BRI Network side to Video conferencing unit

I would like to know if I can use a Cisco router (1760) to provide BRI's to a video conferencing unit. I would like the router to be configured for the NETWORK side so essentially it appears as the PSTN. At the main site I have a Cisco CallManager server that I would like to take in video calls from other offices and have CM basically perform the call setup to the video device connected to the 1760 router. The 1760 would connect to the CM via MGCP.

Unfortuneatly not - IOS will not switch non voice calls through BRI ports - video calls use a data bearer capability.
There is video support coming out soon for Call Manager - keep an eye out for it.

Video Conferencing with IOS Homogeneous Video Conference Bridge

Dears,
I have CUCM 8.6 and 3945 Cisco router with 2 x PVDM-256
I configured the IOS Homogeneous Video Conference Bridge. and I did the required configurations in the router. and I can see the conferencing bridge is registered.
I put the conference bridge in the existing MRG and MRGL. But I am not able to do video conferencing. I can get only the audio.
is there any thing missing ? any reolad should I do ?

Sure.
So on the gateway that you have the video conference configured, in which we have guranteed voice as the configuration, you will also add in an MTP profile. The MTP profile will be configured as software and have the appropriate codec configured that you may be using because of your regions. We have g722-64 and passthrough on one because we saw the E20's requesting MTP resources from the logs.
We also have additional MTP profiles configured for other codecs to include G729r8, etc.
Register the codecs to CUCM.
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish but we were shooting for w448p thus made sure that the "Region" for the device pool associated with the Media Resource Group for each MTP was set to 1MB for the video bandwidth.
I hope this makes since if not I will try to pull down a config for you

Test Plan for Video Conferencing

We are planning to set up an MPLS network exclusively for video conferencing. I need to prepare a test plan for the tests to conduct to check the conferencing performance and related parameters after the implementation.
I am pretty new in Video conferencing. May someone help me to prepare a test plan for this?

Do you have some more details about the equipment and setup you want to test.

RV082 and video conferencing

RV082 router is not allowing video conferencing through to Polycom 7000 HD. voice comes through but no video.
Have tried several things.
1.) necessary ports ( Polycom provided) forwarded to designated internal ip / firewall acess allowed ( external ips to designated internal ip ) respective port Qos set to high.
2.) set dmzhost to designated internal ip address. Respective port Qos set to high.
3.) enabled Upnp with necessary (Polycom provided) ports forwarded to designated internal ip address.
Is something missed?
Other option is obtain second external ip address and connect to DMZ port. Trying to avoid a second external ip.

multicast passthrough is enabled.
At this point I am leaning towards a bandwidth problem. Since this unit is sharing the local network - there may not be
enough bandwidth the support the video signal but sufficient for voice.

What System Can use for Phone & Video Conferencing

Hello,
What System to recommend to use for our Small office on both Voice and Video Conferencing.
and to our branch offices.
Regards,
Angelo

Hi Angelo,
As Jaime suggested the design needs to be validated before its implemented. Assuming you are using CUCM, you can look at the possibility of using 9971 series IP phones with Video conferencing capable ISR G2 routers with PVDM-3. Please check the following

To implement video conference in my website

Hi,
I want to implement an interactive Video conference in my
website.
I am Beginner in PHP, MYSQL and FLASH.
It would be great if any one could give me answers and
solutions for below questions:
1. Any list of webhosting sites which can support video
conferencing?
2. If there are seperate server sites which only handle with
video conferencing and i need to integrate with my seperate
webhosting provider where my website is getting hosted. Then how
can i do it? what would be the costs that that would i have to
invest for supoose there are 1 presenter and 100 viewers.
3. Alternatively, I would like to get help from anyone in
doing below steps.
a) Add a flash player in my webpage, so that it can record
the video,audio stream from a webcam, microphone.
b) send to webhosting or videoconferencing supporting
server.
c) publish the live video,audio stream to the people who are
requesting to see it live.
Ex: I m presenting a topic in front of a webcam and n number
of users in my site can attend that topic live.
currently i m taking n to may be 50 or so.
Immediate response is appreciated, as i need to implement it
as soon as possible .. i have a very strict deadline for the
same... anyone can help me asap will be of great thanks..
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
Here are some quick answers:
1.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/fvss/
2. Your website and video player can be hosted by someone
different than the FMS host. Your FMS host will give you the
information to use in the video player (the server name/application
name, etc).
3.a There are lots of articles and tutorials to help you get
started. Here's one:

Trying to bypass CAC for Video Conferencing using EnableBWPolicyOverride

Scenario:
CAC enabled and bandwith policy defined for all company sites. Video bandwidth very restricted (250 Kbps).
VIP users were granted a Voice Policy with EnableBWPolicyOverride=TRUE (VIP users must bypass CAC).
Test:
P2P Video Calls between VIP users bypass CAC, allowing high video resolutions (Ok!).
Video Conferences between VIP users don't bypass CAC, limiting video to low resolution (NOT ok).
Is this expected, that Video Conferencing will not respect the EnableBWPolicyOverride=TRUE from the Voice Policy? (I know, it's a VOICE Policy and I'm tlaking about VIDEO. But remember, on P2P video call the bypass worked.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Bandwidth policy override enables administrators to override call admission control policy decisions for a particular user, however, the policy will be overridden only for incoming calls to the user and not for outgoing calls that are placed by
the user. So I think the policy does not apply to video conference.

Designing Cisco Video conferencing solution

Hi All,
I need to design a single site Cisco IP Video Conferencing soultion which should support web, chat, ISDN and email etc support.
there will be one conferencing room which will be communicating with other remote or traving users.
the requirement is that remote or travelling users should be able to have the video conferencing facility with the Headoffice(single site) and vise versa.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Waqas

I would recommend Cisco unified presence server for your deployment with MPX. That will give you chat, voice and video conferencing. If you dont use MPX then you can only do point-to-point video CUPS on its own doesnt support video conferencing.
YOu can also intergrate with exchange to view meetings and unity to listen to voicemails.
You can use VTA for the remote clients and 7985 for central site or some sort of tanberg phone if you want a larger screen.
The remote users are going to have to have a pretty low latency connection to get good quality video/voice.

IP Video conferencing best practice - Tanberg/Cisco hardware

We are currently experiencing intermittant issues with our Video conferencing internal and external network with intermittant screen fragmentation. We have separate VLAN's configured on our internal network for the Video traffic only. We use the movi client on the with the majority of our remote users. I'm wondering what is the best practice based in setting up and support a Video conference network.

Have you set up QoS policies for video?
I have a very good network readiness document you are welcome to, if you want to ping me your email address?
I can't seem to copy it properly into the tech support app on my iPad, drop me an email to [email protected] and I'll send over the info - should help!
