6System Overview
System Overview
HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER
The HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER is a multipoint connection
unit (MCU) that is in complete compliance with the H.323 protocol. It is
compatible with multipoint voice synthesis, voice-activated video switching,
etc., and provides central management of functions used for creating,
scheduling and editing meetings. An H.323 gatekeeper is also embedded in the
server.
This software is intended to be used on a server installed on a secure network, such as
a corporate LAN. In operating environments where access from the Internet is possible
or where unspecified access is frequent, take appropriate security measures by using
network devices, for example.

7Meetings
Chapter 1: HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER Overview
Meetings
The virtual spaces or locations for conducting communications via the HD
VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER are referred to as “Meetings”.
This is the equivalent of a conference room in traditional video conferencing
systems.
Meeting types can either be “Normal” or “Presentation”. Users can select
which type of meeting they wish, according to their requirements.
Online communication provided by HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION
SERVER enables meetings to be held among several individuals or person-to-
person (one-on-one).
Meetings involving several members must first be registered by the system
administrator.
Person-to-person meetings can be undertaken using direct communications via
an H.323 Alias or E.164 Number.
Type Explanation
Normal The standard HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER meeting
type.
No User serves as the meeting administrator. All meeting participants
have the same privileges.
Presentation The general term for meetings with controlled audio communications.
Access VC ONLINE via a web browser, and permit speaking by using
the [Control Panel].
There are two types of participants in this meeting type, each having
different privileges. The meeting [Chairman] operates the meeting on
behalf of the “General Users.”
The meeting Chairman can change the meeting mode by granting
General Users permission to speak.
Open Forum: Participants can hear the Chairman and those the
Chairman has granted permission to speak.
Side Meeting: Only the Chairman and those the Chairman has
granted permission to speak can hear each other. Conversations cannot
be heard by participants who have not been granted permission to
speak.
Presenting: Only the Chairman can be heard by all participants.
Lecture: Under default conditions, only the Chairman can be heard
by all participants. In such cases, the video of the Chairman and those
specified by the Chairman appear on the General Users’ screens, while
video of each General User appears on the Chairman’s screen in a
multiple video screen layout.
If the Chairman grants a General User permission to speak, the
Chairman and this General User will be heard by all participants. In
such cases, the screens of each of the General Users will switch to a
multiple video screen layout displaying the Chairman and the user the
Chairman has granted permission to speak.
You can not change modes while a meeting conducted in [Lecture] mode is
in progress.
Note

8H.323 Alias and Gatekeeper
H.323 Alias and Gatekeeper
An H.323 Alias is a unique name assigned for each H.323 terminal, User or
Meeting. The User name of a H.323 terminal registered with the gatekeeper is
assigned as the User’s H.323 Alias.
This system is used because having a set of easily-identifiable numbers or
characters to designate other Users is a much simpler method than using IP
Addresses. Assigning an H.323 Alias to a Meeting configured on the HD
VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER allows each terminal to directly
enter Meetings using an H.323 Alias.
The gatekeeper embedded in the HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION
SERVER holds H.323 Alias and IP Address information for all registered
Endpoints and Meetings. This makes it easy to enter Meetings and call other
Users with an H.323 Alias.
The H.323 Alias can be assigned during the following configuration tasks:
• User H.323 Alias: When providing / changing User information settings
• Meeting H.323 Alias: When providing / changing Meeting information
settings

9VC ONLINE Login
Chapter 2: HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER Setup
VC ONLINE Login
To use HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER, it is necessary to create
a Meeting and User Account. These operations are carried out by logging into
VC ONLINE via a Web browser.
When using VC ONLINE, login via the Administrator restricted account
accessed from the following URL.
URL: http://[HD VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVER address]:8080/
Login Account: Administrator
Logging in to VC ONLINE with a general User Account will allow individual
Users to access the scheduling system or make changes to their own
information.
Also, it is possible to get help even without logging in, such as by referring to
the downloadable manual or help document.
For more information about creating a User Account, refer to “Creating a
User” (p. 13).
For more information about configuring a Meeting, refer to “Configuring a
Meeting” (p. 23).
For more information about using the Reservation system, refer to “Chapter
6: Using the Reservation System” (p. 58).
For more information about configuring personal information, refer to
“Configuring Personal Information” (p. 76).
