2 Product Highlights
Next-Generation H.264 HP and VME Dual-Core Technologies
lUltra-HD video of up to 4K 30 fps is supported.
lThe H.264 HP technology, combined with Huawei's proprietary Video Motion
Enhancement (VME) technology, optimizes video images to be more pleasing to eyes
while reducing the bandwidth consumption by 50%.
lThrough intelligent face recognition and back-end video enhancement, the VME
technology improves light adaptability, reduces bandwidth consumption, improves image
definition, and enhances motion images.
lThe endpoint provides users with high-fi audio using MPEG-4 Low Delay Audio Coder
(AAC-LD), acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), and automatic noise suppression (ANS)
technologies.
Feature-rich, Intelligent, and Easy to Use
lWith the voice dialing function, users can quickly initiate or join a conference by
speaking the name of a site in Chinese or English.
lWithout any intervention of the MCU, the local endpoint can combine video captured by
several cameras and send the video to the remote endpoint as continuous presence, which
meets the requirements of viewing a site from every angle and reduces the bandwidth
usage.
lThe endpoint with a built-in Wi-Fi module can connect to a Wi-Fi network, serve as a
Wi-Fi hotspot, or both.
lThe endpoint allows multiple sites to simultaneously share content in Live mode at
1080p 60 fps. Other sites select the shared content to view on demand.
lA PC can connect to the endpoint over Wi-Fi and then start sharing content.
lThe endpoint can automatically import configuration data from a USB flash drive,
without any manual intervention.
lVGA loopback is supported. You can connect your PC to the endpoint and then connect
the endpoint to a projector. Then you can directly push the PC desktop to the projector
when the endpoint is shut down, without plugging and unplugging cables.

User Interface Easily Operated Using the Remote Control
lThe remote control has a compact design and integrates the most commonly used
buttons.
lA touch panel can be used if necessary.
lA wizard is provided to help you easily complete the installation.
lThe 3D user interface is available and different modules are visible to users of different
roles. You can use the remote control to initiate calls or join conferences from the user
interface.
lThe LCD screen on the endpoint shows the local site information (including the IP
address and number) in real time.
High Network Adaptability and Security
lUsing H.264 SVC, the endpoint excellently adapts to different line bandwidths, device
capabilities, and network environments.
lThe endpoint utilizes Huawei's exclusive Super Error Concealment (SEC) and Intelligent
Rate Control (IRC) technologies.
lThe endpoint supports firewall traversal through the standard H.460 protocol or
Huawei's proprietary Super Network Passport (SNP) protocol.
lMedia and signaling streams are encrypted in multiple ways, ensuring secure and stable
running of the videoconferencing system.
Extensive System Integration
lThe endpoint can interwork with industry's mainstream standard endpoints,
infrastructures, the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), the BroadSoft platform, and the
Videxio cloud videoconferencing platform (referred to as Videxio platform hereinafter),
delivering an intelligent, easy-to-use conference experience.
lThe endpoint can be seamlessly integrated into the IMS or SP hosted network.
lThe endpoint can interwork with Skype for Business, Lync 2013, Lync 2010, and Lync
Online (Office 365).
lThe endpoint is the industry's first videoconferencing endpoint that enables you to
schedule or start a multipoint video conference as easily as making a call.
lThe endpoint provides rich APIs for third parties to facilitate system integration and
customization.
lendpoints connected to the same third-party Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)
can call each other by domain name.

3 Application Scenarios
3.1 On-Premises/IMS Hosted/SP Hosted Network
The endpoint connects to on-premises, IMS hosted, or SP hosted CloudVC/CloudEC
networks, enabling video communication for enterprises and carriers. Figure 3-1 shows the
network diagram.
Figure 3-1 Networking diagram
The network is described as follows:
lThe endpoint connects to the on-premises network through the standard SIP or H.323
protocol.
lThe standard SIP protocol is used for connecting the endpoint to the IMS or SP hosted
network.
lVideo, data, and presentation sharing can be implemented between the endpoint and
various kinds of terminals and clients to deliver the optimal communications experience.
To learn more about the CloudVC and CloudEC on-premises, IMS hosted, and SP hosted
networks, see the typical network part in the solution description (contained in the product
documentation.) Table 3-1 provides the link for the product documentation of each CloudVC/
CloudEC network.

3.2 Videxio Interconnection Network
To interconnect your endpoint with the Videxio platform, click the activation button on the
Videxio web page and choose to automatically scan your endpoint or manually search for
your endpoint by IP address. Figure 3-2 shows the network where the endpoint is
interconnected with the Videxio platform.

The network is described as follows:
lBy interacting with the activation server, registrar server, and configuration server on the
Videxio platform, the endpoint gets activated, obtains SIP configuration data, acquires its
own site name, and automatically registers with the Videxio platform based on the
obtained data.
lThe endpoint communicates with the Videxio platform only through the SIP protocol to
get registered and convene conferences.
lFor video conferences that are held on the Videxio cloud videoconferencing platform,
only presentation sharing is supported.
3.3 Networking with the ACS
The endpoint can interconnect with the Auto-Configuration Server (ACS) to implement
management functions through the TR-069 service offered by the ACS.
Figure 3-3 shows the interconnection between the endpoint and the ACS.
Figure 3-3 Interconnecting with the ACS
On this network:
lThe endpoint communicates with the TR-069 server through the TR-069 protocol.
lThe HTTP server is used to upload and download configuration files and download
upgrade files.
lThe Simple Traversal of UDP through NAT (STUN) server implements traversal
between private and public networks and delivers management over all devices on both
networks.
lThe endpoint can be deployed on a public or private network, while the ACS must be
deployed on a public network.
–If the endpoint is deployed on a public network, it can be managed by the ACS
through the TR-069 protocol.
–If the endpoint is deployed on a private network, the STUN server needs to be
deployed for traversal between private and public networks. After the deployment,
