Polycom V2IU6400-S User manual

Networking and security solution for enterprises and
service providers.
The Polycom V2IU 6400-S series can reduce costs by simplifying the deployment, management and security
of converged video, voice and data networks. It helps resolve NAT/firewall traversal issues by performing
video and voice NAT at the public/private IP address boundary, which eliminates the security risks of other
traversal methods that tunnel or “obscure” video and voice traffic from existing perimeter security.
The Polycom V2IU 6400-S employs a stateful packet inspection firewall in combination with an application
layer gateway, providing comprehensive application-aware security. This approach enables the Polycom
V2IU 6400-S to dynamically provision and close TCP and UDP ports as needed by video and voice endpoints.
Topology hiding is utilized to protect H.323 gatekeepers and multipoint conference units from network-based
attacks. Simply install the Polycom V2IU 6400-S between your H.323 gatekeeper or multipoint conference
units and the public IP network to hide their real IP addresses and increase security.
Optimizing the quality of your video and voice calls is easy, as the Polycom V2IU 6400-S routes video and
voice traffic via the shortest path possible to minimize jitter, latency, and packet loss. Dynamic access control
list identifies and authenticates video and voice devices as they register with the gatekeeper. This authenti-
cation mechanism eliminates the need to manually program IP addresses of valid devices in other firewalls
around the perimeter of the data center.
It's clear that the Polycom V2U 6400-S series is an easily deployed network appliance solution that provides
greater scalability than other server-based software solutions. And since it protects critical IP communication
components used in the delivery of hosted video or voice services, it's the ideal solution for both enterprises
and service providers.
The Polycom V2IU 6400-S series enables you to access the power of Polycom unified collaborative
communications solutions.
