LiveGateway lets LiveLAN and NetConference H.323 Multipoint Server users place and receive calls to/from
H.320-compliant desktop and group systems such as PictureTel's Live50, Live100, Live200 desktops, SwiftSite,
Venue and Concorde as well as other vendors' H.320-compliant systems. Through LiveGateway, LiveLAN
users can even call an H.320 MCU (multipoint control unit) such as PictureTel's Montage and Prism and
participate in an H.320 continuous presence multipoint conference. LiveGateway also supports T.120 data
collaboration on supported endpoints.
Using a single, full length ISA/EISA board, LiveGateway installs into any Windows NT 4.0 TCP/IP server or
workstation. You can install up to four gateway boards per platform, as determined by the hardware
configuration (CPU speed and RAM) of your server.
With LiveGateway installed and connected to your ISDN network, LiveLAN users as well as other H.323-
compliant users can directly dial the ISDN video numbers of any H.320 user using LiveLAN's dial pad. In turn,
H.320 users outside the LAN can call LiveLAN users using either DTMF dialing or via an operator station.
LiveGateway also gives LiveLAN users at different sites the ability to call each other across ISDN. This is ideal
for situations where the routed link between these sites is low-speed, or heavily congested.
With LiveGateway, LiveLAN users and other H.323 users can participate in audio, video, and data calls with
any H.320 videoconferencing system inside or outside their own LAN.
LiveGateway also supports the PictureTel 330 NetConference Multipoint Server Software product. When
NetConference is used with LiveGateway, users of NetConference can place calls to H.320 users or place calls
to a NetConference conference room by specifying the conference room's Terminal ID.
