Chapter 1 | About the Scopia XT Server for
IP Office
The Scopia XT Server for IP Office incorporates state-of-the-art video technology for high definition (HD)
conferencing, allowing you to locally host videoconferences with the built-in MCU. Videoconferences can include a
variety of different endpoints: H.323, SIP, Scopia XT Desktop clients and Scopia Mobile clients (with the Scopia XT
Desktop Server), and ISDN endpoints (via Scopia 100 Gateway).
Avaya IP Office connects to the Scopia XT Server for IP Office as a SIP server, allowing to host videoconferences
and add Avaya endpoints to videoconferences. Figure 1: A typical Scopia XT Server for IP Office deployment on
page 6 shows a typical deployment integrating Scopia XT Server for IP Office with Avaya IP Office.
You can use the Scopia XT Server for IP Office as an MCU only, or as an endpoint by connecting a monitor, camera,
and microphone.
Figure 1: A typical Scopia XT Server for IP Office deployment
This section provides an overview of the general features and capabilities available in the Scopia XT Server for IP
Office:
Important:
If you do not register to IP Office, you cannot host videoconferences or use the full functionality of the system. See
Registering the XT Server to IP Office on page 61 for details.
•Ability to host videoconferences locally with a high-capacity embedded MCU, without requiring an external
MCU deployment.
•Excellent video quality, with resolutions of 720p, and up to 1080p at an unprecedented 60 frames per second
(fps), depending on the license.
Installation Guide for Scopia XT5000 Server for IP Office Version 3.2 About the Scopia XT Server for IP Office | 6

•Support for dual HD video streams, allowing presentations and video clips to be shared in resolutions of up to
1080p 60 fps, depending on the license.
This includes either video input from two cameras, or one video stream from the camera, and one presentation
stream from the PC.
•Allows to easily share data and presentations with third-party endpoints.
•High quality video and audio even with limited bandwidth or poor network conditions, by using two compression
methods:
–H.264 Scalable Video Coding Technology (SVC).
SVC dramatically increases error resiliency and video quality without the need for higher bandwidth. It is
especially effective over networks with high packet loss (like wireless networks) which deliver low quality
video.
–H.246 High Profile, which is a video compression standard used for bandwidth efficiency. This allows
quality video at much lower bit rates.
•Ability to record videoconferences (requires license).
•For an even better experience, Scopia Control enables you to place a call using the intuitive touch interface of
an Apple®iPad®(requires license).
•Secure point-to-point video calls and videoconferences, via encrypted connections or using TLS certificates.
You can have up to three remote encrypted participants in a videoconference.
Important:
Using encryption is subject to local regulation. In some countries it is restricted or limited for usage. For more
information, consult your local reseller.

About the Scopia XT Server for IP Office Embedded MCU
The Scopia XT Server for IP Office includes an embedded MCU, allowing XT Server to host
videoconferences locally, with up to 8 participants.
If you do not register to IP Office, you cannot host videoconferences or use the full functionality of the
system.
The embedded MCU can host both standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) endpoints
simultaneously (see Table 4: Video capabilities for participants hosted by Scopia XT Server for IP Office
on page 13 for details):
•The MCU processes video streams from all endpoints to ensure the video displays correctly for all
possible layouts, regardless of the endpoint resolution or picture format.
•The presence of SD endpoints does not affect the quality received by HD endpoints. SD endpoints
receive SD video streams and HD endpoints receive HD video streams.
•Both wide-screen (16:9) and standard formats (4:3) are incorporated into the continuous presence
(CP) video layout.

Important:
The capabilities depend on the selected CP layout.
Since the Scopia XT Server for IP Office is used only as an MCU for hosting videoconferences, block
the audio and video input from this Scopia XT Server for IP Office during the meeting. For details, see
Configuring Call Settings on page 63.
Planning the Topology of Scopia XT Server for IP Office
with Scopia XT Desktop
Scopia XT Server for IP Office enables you to locally host videoconferences using its built-in MCU, and
extends your videoconferences to participants joining from a computer (with Scopia XT Desktop Client)
or a mobile device (using Scopia Mobile).
For example, when you start a videoconference with the XT Server hosting the call, you can add other
participants by asking them to connect via a web link to the Scopia XT Desktop Server, which would
automatically install and launch Scopia XT Desktop Client on their computers, or Scopia Mobile on their
mobile devices.
If you do not register to IP Office, you cannot host videoconferences or use the full functionality of the
system.
The main features of the Scopia XT Server for IP Office include:
•Remote users can easily connect to a meeting hosted by the built-in MCU on the XT Server, by
connecting via the Scopia XT Desktop Server.
The deployment has very few components. You do not need additional hardware like an external
MCU, Scopia PathFinder for firewall traversal, or Scopia ECS Gatekeeper for routing calls.
•The included Scopia XT Desktop provides built-in NAT and firewall traversal functionality, enabling
secure remote connections from Scopia Mobile and Scopia XT Desktop Clients.
The Scopia XT Server for IP Office includes the following:
•Full SMB9 - Advanced MCU level, with up to 8 participants:
–Eight endpoints
Or
–Seven mixed endpoints and PC clients
Figure 2: Scopia XT Server for IP Office Deployment on page 14 shows a typical topology for the
Scopia XT Server for IP Office solution. For more information, see the Solution Guide for Scopia
Solution.

Figure 2: Scopia XT Server for IP Office Deployment
Planning NAT and Firewall Traversal with Scopia XT Server
for IP Office
The Scopia XT Server for IP Office fully supports NAT and firewall traversal, enabling you to place the
unit behind a NAT router or firewall and connect with other endpoints seamlessly. This section describes
the available methods to incorporate NAT and firewall traversal with XT Server:
•Using a Radvision HTTP server or a STUN public server for NAT and firewall traversal
When the XT Server hosts a videoconference with endpoints outside the enterprise (Figure
3: Using an HTTP/STUN Server for NAT and Firewall Traversal on page 15), it first queries the
HTTP or STUN server to discover its public IP address, then sends it to any external endpoints
wishing to join the conference. The external endpoints then answer the call using the IP address
provided. Configure the XT Codec Unit for HTTP or STUN autodiscovery.
Installation Guide for Scopia XT5000 Server for IP Office Version 3.2 Planning the Topology of the Scopia XT Server for IP Office
Deployment | 14

Figure 3: Using an HTTP/STUN Server for NAT and Firewall Traversal
This approach works well in simple NAT and firewall traversal deployments, typically used by home
offices and Small Medium Businesses (SMBs).
•Using the XT Server for NAT and firewall traversal
In cases where your organization has no sophisticated firewall protection, the XT Server can
straddle the two network zones using the two network ports provided on the XT Codec Unit (see
Figure 4: Using XT Server for NAT and Firewall Traversal on page 16).
Use the GLAN ports of the XT Codec Unit simultaneously and connect one port to the public
network and the other to your private network. All communication passes through the XT Server
which acts as the virtual conference room for all the endpoints.
Installation Guide for Scopia XT5000 Server for IP Office Version 3.2 Planning the Topology of the Scopia XT Server for IP Office
Deployment | 15

Figure 4: Using XT Server for NAT and Firewall Traversal
Regarding GLAN1 and GLAN2 configuration, the XT Server communicates simultaneously with
the public and private network endpoints using IP addresses (see Figure 4: Using XT Server for
NAT and Firewall Traversal on page 16).
Supporting ISDN Connectivity
About this task
The Scopia XT Server for IP Office supports ISDN connectivity, allowing calls from endpoints to be
routed to the relevant videoconference via the Scopia Gateway for ISDN.
For deployments without a gatekeeper, you can dial ISDN endpoints by simply dialing the ISDN number.
To do so, you must first configure the endpoint with your Scopia Gateway for ISDN, as described below.
The system then automatically and transparently takes care of setting the bit rate and call routing
through the Scopia Gateway.
A single gateway can serve multiple endpoints. For example, if your organization needs to enable 5
Scopia XT Server for IP Office endpoints with ISDN connectivity (at a speed of 256bps), you can use
one the Scopia Gateway for ISDN, which supports 5 concurrent calls of 256bps each.
Installation Guide for Scopia XT5000 Server for IP Office Version 3.2 Planning the Topology of the Scopia XT Server for IP Office
Deployment | 16

With the gateway approach less communication lines are needed. As all gateways do not connect at the
same time and not all calls are ISDN, many more endpoints can share the same ISDN connection and
gateway.
Before you begin
Enable Peer-to-Peer mode in the Scopia Gateway for ISDN. For more information, see the Scopia
Gateway documentation.
Procedure
1. Access the XT Server web interface, as described in Accessing XT Server Web Interface on
page 34.
2. Select Administrator Settings > Protocols > ISDN.
3. Configure the IDSN settings as described below:
