About the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 PRI Gateway
The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 PRI Gateway enables audio, video, and data communication
between H.320 endpoints that connect through ISDN, and H.323 endpoints that connect through a
packet-based network. For voice-over-IP, the gateway enables PSTN voice callers to connect from the
ISDN network to IP voice callers. The CISCO UNIFIED VIDEOCONFERENCING 3545 PRI
GATEWAY supports two PRI ISDN ports.
About the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Serial Gateway
The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Serial Gateway supports multimedia conferencing over IP
by translating between H.323 and serial protocols. With the help of a V.35 Adtran Imux, the gateway can
also translate between H.323 and H.320 protocols.
The gateway offers a serial leg for multimedia conferencing over IP by providing an interface for legacy
endpoints with serial interfaces, encryption/decryption devices, satellite networks and leased line
services.

About Gateway Features
About Gateway Features
Table 1-1 lists the major features of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Gateway.
Table 1-1 Gateway Feature Summary
Feature Description
Interoperability The gateway provides a high degree of interoperability with other H.323
compliant gateways, gatekeepers, terminals, proxy, and Multipoint
Control Unit (MCU) products by being based on the H.320 standard and
H.323 protocol stack.
Web-based
management
The gateway features the gateway interface. This is a web interface used
to configure and monitor the gateway. You can view and modify all
aspects of the gateway configuration from a remote location using a
Java-enabled web browser.
SNMP management The gateway features Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
management that supports all aspects of monitoring, diagnostics,
configuration, and trapping.
Diagnostics The gateway features front and rear panel LED indicators that display
status for the unit. You can also access remote diagnostics of the unit
through the gateway interface, Telnet, SNMP, or a serial port.
Network load
balancing
The gateway supports load balancing on the network by communicating
with a gatekeeper through H.323 RAI (Resource Available
Indication)/RAC (Resource Available Confirmation) messages.
T.120 data
collaboration
The gateway supports data transfers in calls between ISDN and IP by
using high speed T.120 in HMLP and VarMLP formats.
Quality of service
(QoS)
The gateway features configurable coding of media packets to achieve
QoS routing priority on the Internet Protocol (IP) network. The Type of
Service (ToS) bits of the IP datagram header can be configured for priority
level.
Dial plan The gateway supports a simplified dial plan for outbound dialing using a
single universal prefix. Using the dial plan, the gateway automatically
detects the capabilities received in the Setup message from the IP endpoint
and sets the same bit rate for the ISDN (or serial interface) side of the call.
Direct dialing and call
routing
The gateway dial plan supports the following direct dialing and call
routing facilities:
•Direct Inward Dialing (DID)
•Multiple Subscriber Network (MSN)
•Q.931 Sub-addressing Information Element
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Serial Gateway supports DID in
DCE mode only.
•Internal and External Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
•TCS4
•Default extension

Chapter 1 Functionality
About Gateway Features
Access control The gateway features password-controlled access to the gateway interface.
Up to ten different administrator access profiles can be defined for the
gateway.
DTMF translation The gateway supports translation between in-band Dual Tone
Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signals (on the ISDN side) and out-of-band
H.245 messages (on the IP side). DTMF translation occurs for voice and
video calls.
Dual video The gateway supports H.239 standards-based dual video and TANDBERG
DuoVideo technology. Dual video streams enable a screen to carry video
images from one source while simultaneously displaying images from a
second source.
Hot swap The gateway features hot swap functionality that you can use to remove
and replace gateway cards under power.
Conceal caller ID The gateway supports a conceal caller ID feature that instructs the
gatekeeper to conceal the identity of the calling endpoint on the IP or
ISDN network, whether the presentation restricted feature is enabled or
not.
H.323 fast start The gateway H.323 fast start feature enables endpoints to join a voice
conference in the gateway more quickly.
ISDN rollover
(available in Cisco
Unified
Videoconferencing
3545 PRI Gateway
only)
The gateway features ISDN rollover. In this feature, the gateway sends a
“busy out” channel request to the PSTN switch when the current PRI
connection is left with less than a predefined number of available B
channels. The PSTN switch “rolls over” to the next available gateway.
Network Specific
Facility (available in
Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing
3545 PRI Gateway
only)
The gateway provides support for Network Specific Facility Information
Elements (NSF IEs) which enable system administrators to specify to
service providers the equipment, service, or network through which they
want a call routed.
ISDN connection
failure
The gateway responds to ISDN connection failure events, by unregistering
from its gatekeeper. The gatekeeper is forced to send new IP-to-ISDN
calls through a different gateway, thus ensuring high call completion rates.
The gateway re-registers to the gatekeeper when the ISDN connection is
restored.
Downspeeding The gateway features downspeeding functionality. In the downspeeding
feature, the gateway attempts to reconnect a disconnected video call either
at a lower bandwidth or as a voice call. Downspeeding contributes to a
higher percentage of call completion on the network. The gateway
supports downspeeding at call setup and in mid-call.
Multiple trap server
support
The gateway supports up to three SNMP trap servers.
H.239 support The gateway supports the H.239 protocol in ISDN-to-IP calls and in
IP-to-ISDN calls.

Encryption support The gateway supports H.235-compliant AES 128 encryption for calls over
IP networks, and H.233 and H.234-compliant AES 128 encryption for
calls over ISDN networks.
H.243 Conference
Control support
The gateway supports the H.243 protocol in ISDN-to-IP calls and in
IP-to-ISDN calls. The gateway identifies the protocol version that an IP
endpoint uses and sends H.239 capabilities only to those endpoints
working with protocol version 4.0 or later.
Peer-to-peer
connectivity
The gateway supports connectivity to the IP network through a gatekeeper,
or directly to a peer device such as Cisco Unified Communications
Manager.
IP network
connections
The gateway has one 10/100Base-T Ethernet IP port (on the front panel)
and connects to an IP segment through a direct connection to a network
switch.

About Point-to-Point Conferencing
The Cisco PRI gateway enables direct video, voice, and data communication between an H.320 (ISDN)
terminal and H.323 (IP) terminals at bandwidths of up to 1472 Kbps (23B bonding for T1) and up to
1920 Kbps (30B bonding for E1).
Figure 1-2 Point-to-Point Conferencing through the Gateway
About Multipoint Conferencing
Together with the Cisco MCU, the Cisco PRI gateway enables H.320 ISDN terminals to participate in a
mixed ISDN-IP multipoint multimedia conference with IP network endpoints (see Figure 1-3).
For example, when an H.320 ISDN terminal wants to participate in a multipoint conference with H.323
IP endpoints, the H.320 ISDN terminal can either join the multipoint conference by dialing to the
gateway, or be invited into the conference by one of the participating IP endpoints. In either case, the
gateway connects the ISDN terminal to the Cisco MCU, enabling it to participate in the multipoint
conference.

About PRI Gateway Call Handling Capacity
Table 1-3 lists the maximum call handling capacity of the PRI gateway for different types of calls.
Note Enabling ISDN-to-IP DTMF detection in the PRI gateway for video calls reduces the number of
supported calls by half.
About Gateway Call Bandwidth Overhead
According to the H.320 standard, the available bandwidth allocated to a call at any given bit rate will
always be slightly less than the stated maximum for the following reasons:
•All stated maximum call bandwidths include provision for control, audio, video, and data traffic.
•Video traffic on the ISDN side contains additional bits for error correction purposes which also
consume bandwidth. Video traffic on the IP side does not include this additional load.
•Opening an audio channel further reduces the bandwidth available to the video traffic.
For example, a call at 384 Kbps actually has only 363 Kbps available to it. Control and error correction
account for the remaining 21 Kbps.

Chapter 1 Functionality
About Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Gateway Functionality
Resource Allocation across E1/T1 Lines
The gateway can allocate bandwidth resources to calls across separate E1 or T1 connections to maximize
bandwidth capacity in cases where there is not enough capacity for a call on a single E1 or T1
connection, but where sufficient capacity does exist when remaining capacity on both E1/T1 lines is
combined.
For example, a gateway using two T1 lines can support three 6B calls on each T1 line, with 320 Kbps
spare capacity per line:
•Each T1 line provides 23 B channels.
•Each B channel supports 64 Kbps
•Each T1 line supports 23 x 64 = 1472 Kbps
•Each 6B call requires 6 x 64 = 384 Kbps
•Each T1 line supports 1472/384 = 3 6B calls + 320 Kbps spare
The gateway processes an additional 6B call requiring a further 384 Kbps by taking bandwidth resources
from each of the two T1 lines, both of which have 320 Kbps available. In this way, the gateway spreads
the call over both T1 lines.
About Peer-to-Peer Connectivity
The gateway supports the following types of connectivity to the IP network
•Through a gatekeeper
•Directly to a peer device such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager without the need for a
gatekeeper.

Installing the Gateway
This section describes how to insert a gateway into the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis.
Before You Begin
Note the following:
•The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis has four slots. You can install the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3545 Gateway in any of the slots.
•Insert the gateway in the top slot at the front of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis
to view status and identification information via the System web user interface.
The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Gateway has two components that you must install in the
chassis: the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Gateway module and the corresponding Rear
Transition Module (RTM), as indicated in Table 2-5.
The gateway module installs in the front of the chassis and provides ISDN or serial functionality. The
RTM installs in the rear of the chassis and provides the physical interface for the ISDN or serial line.
You must install these modules in corresponding slots in the chassis. That is, if you insert the gateway
module in the top slot in the front of the chassis, you must insert the RTM in the top slot in the rear of
the chassis.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the
backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Before working on a system that has an on/off switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord.
Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone network cables to avoid contact with telephone network
voltages.
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV)
circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use
RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
The telecommunications lines must be disconnected 1) before unplugging the main power connector and/or 2) while
the housing is open.
