Conducting a Test Video Conference
The fastest way to check video conference connectivity is to connect to a
predefined conference room on the Orion-MCU.
To aid in testing the system, install Linphone. Linphone is a free, open-
source client from Belledonne Communications.
Linphone Installation:
Download Linphone using this link
http://download-
mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/linphone/3.5.x/win32/linphone-3.5.2-
setup.exe
Download H264 using this link:
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/linphone/plugins/win32/msx2
64-1.4.2-setup.exe
Install both files and restart Linphone by quitting the application (from
windows, right click and choose “quit”), and launching it again.
Linphone Configuration:
1. Under Options, make sure the Enable Video item is checked, then click
on Options Preferences.
2. In the First Tab (Upper left), make sure Send DTMFs as SIP Info is
checked. Don’t change any other parameter. (inband dtmf’s have
some issues with LinPhone)
3. In the Multimedia settings tab, make sure your capture device is your
microphone and that the video input device is your USB or Integrated
Camera. For Video resolution, please choose VGA.
4. In the Codecs Tab, from the dropdown select the Audio and Video
Codecs and set them as follows:
a. Voice: Enable only PCMA and PCMU audio codecs (disable and
move down all the rest)
b. Video: Enable only H264 for Video codec (disable and move down
all the rest)
5. Press Done.
