We are having major problems establishing IP videoconference on a
Tandberg 800 system. We can NetMeeting to<>from external but cannot
establish an IP call to a 'real' videoconferencing system.

Firewall is SEF - rules appear to have been setup apropriately - call
arrives on the Tandberg but does not get back out through the
Firewall. NAT is in use at the Firewall but not on the Tandberg itself
- allowing the Firewall to handle this.

Is there anyone out there who has had a similar problem with this
combination? We have even opened up the Firewall rules for the
Tandberg (temporarily) but still cannot communicate.

I have emailed Tandberg but as yet have had no response.

ISDN works fine.

I would welcome any advice....

Thanks in advance.

LC,
Tandberg tech support is usually pathetic and very arrogant.
What ports did you open and what firewall rules did you set?
Also what is 'Firewall SEF', which brand of firewall are you using.

Hi RS

SEF = Symantec EnterPrise FireWall

The specific Inbound and Outbound rules are as follows:

Rule ID: xx

We were also advised by Symantec to disable the H323 proxy...

Does this enlighten any?

Thanks

Just about every video conferencing system on the market uses different
layer 4 ports. Most H323 aware firewalls are behind in the stack versions
being used by the popular VTC systems on the market

Tandberg has a document that will specify ports etc. to open. Ask them for
it.

1) Upgrade Tandberg to latest release E3.2
2) Switch on NAT awareness in the Tandberg. Terminal settings>LAN>Advanced
AFAICR
3) Test

If you still get no joy then do this:

Remember these three things:
a) NAT is evil
b) NAT is evil, and
c) NAT is evil

Most likely the NAT prozy is translating the IP address in the header but
the h323 aware proxy is not changing in in the application layer.

If none of the above works then use the DMZ port on your firewall and make
sure there is not evil NAT on that port, i.e. you using a public IP.

And then speak to your vendor.

Sounds to me like you need another solution. We use and reccommend a
software solution that is literally plug and play. have a look at
