Simplified video communications for
end users
Polycom OneDial™
Polycom OneDial hides all the complicated num-
bers, prefixes, codes, network choices (IP or ISDN),
and steps processed to complete your call. Users
select a name from a directory or enter a simplified
phone number just like on a phone.
Conference On-Demand*
Polycom OneDial enables on-demand multipoint
conference calls and enables any ViaVideo® II,
iPower™, ViewStation® or V-Series system to dial
multiple endpoints, turning any endpoint into a
multipoint system.
*Requires Polycom MGC™
Firewall Traversal Support
Allows video/voice to pass freely through firewalls
without compromising security
Simplified, cost effective management for
network administrators
Policy management
Administrators can create policy management
parameters to control bandwidth through segments
of their video network, apply network policies, and
provide access to resources based on individual,
group, or corporate-wide settings.
Auto provisioning
Polycom PathNavigator allows for auto provision-
ing of DID (ISDN) and E.164 numbers for automat-
ed deployment of video endpoints.
Increased Availability and Security
Polycom PathNavigator flags all call attempts from
unregistered endpoints and allows administrators
to predetermine whether the calls are automatical-
ly denied access. Administrators can also keep
NAT IP addresses confidential, preventing internal
IP addresses from being accessed or sent outside
the firewall.
Diagnostics and CDR
Polycom PathNavigator provides customizable
diagnostic levels that can be applied globally,
by device, or by call. It captures usage details
for each call by device. The CDR enables internal
reporting and billing for services by capturing date,
time, duration, speed, number/address, and call
direction. This data can also be exported in a
CSV format.
Gatekeeper Authorization
Integrates with POLYCOM CONFERENCE SUITE to
enables ad-hoc video calls only if bandwidth and
resources are available
RTP Statistics
PathNavigator provides packet loss, jitter and
latency over time to analyze health of a call in a
video network. Real-time graphs also show issues
at any point in time of a video network.
Supports Third-party Products
Polycom PathNavigator is based on H.323 V4 with
open standards and supports third-party endpoints,
gateways, MCUs, and other gatekeepers, which
can be deployed as “neighbor gatekeepers.”

*License Packs are additive.
**25-packs support 8 concurrent calls per pack.
As a convenience for MCU installations, a single
25-pack installed separately on a server will auto-
matically support up to 12 concurrent calls. When
adding a second, third or forth 25-pack the total
number of concurrent calls will revert to 15, 23,
and 30 respectively.
Polycom PathNavigator comes with a 90-day maintenance support
program providing for Software Update (Bug Fixes) and Upgrade
(New Features) Releases as part of the product purchase. To continue
to receive support and new product releases beyond 90 days, purchasing
a maintenance contract is the most economical solution. Contact your
Polycom Reseller or a Polycom Sales Representative for more details.
