RAS 200A – A SIP conferencing application server • Polycom RAS 200A is a SIP conferencing application server / B2BUA that creates video sessions between video clients (VSX and PVX VOA) and MGC • Acts on Alcatel Instant Video Application Server requests for video session creation, hold, un-hold, tear down • Report back to Alcatel Instant Video Application Server video user status • Selects MGC to host conference • Video clients (PVX VOA, VSX) register with RAS 200A (auto discover), get SIP server address, send status change reports • Imposes license policy to control number of concurrent video end points usage
RAS 200A – Functionality, interfaces, protocols and API • Alcatel Instant Video Application Server to Polycom RAS 200A interface is a proprietary Polycom-Alcatel API based on Web Services (XML over HTTP) • Video endpoints to RAS 200A registration and end point reporting is a Polycom protocol running over HTTP • All video sessions established by RAS 200A (to video endpoints and MGC) use SIP with RAS 200A acting as a B2BUA • Video endpoints register and authenticate with SIP server • All SIP calls between RAS 200A and video endpoints go through Alcatel SIP server. • RAS 200A and MGC hold direct SIP calls, and not through the server.
PVX VOA desktop client • A high quality desktop video client • PVX™ VOA integration with Alcatel IP touch phones enables users to start a video call from their IP Touch phone. • Once the call is established, audio flows through the IP Touch phone while video is displayed on the desktop using Polycom PVX™ VOA client. • Works with standard USB/Webcam camera • Supports SIP
