These instructions are for the quick installation and testing of the Vinteo VCS server.

Preparing the network

When deploying a server inside the corporate network behind NAT and FW, the following settings have to be made: Server settings

Basic tab

On the Settings page, under the Basic tab, check and set the ports required for operation:

  • H323 - TCP: 1720, TCP: H225/245 change from 1024-65000 to 20000-65000 (the port range can be changed by limiting the number to what you need);
  • SIP - 5060;
  • save your settings.

Network Interface Settings tab

On this tab, after the first launch and login to the web-interface, enter the settings that were set up through the command line during the installation of the Vinteo VCS server, add the DNS-server address and save the settings. If you use two or more network interfaces, it is recommended to use the first interface eth0 for access to the server from external network, and the second interface for local network clients. Routing of local clients to and from external clients is done on the "Routes" tab. When adding an interface, the server must be restarted after saving the settings. After restarting, the second interface should have Up status.

NAT Tab

On this tab write in "External IP" field external address of server, mark required protocols to work through NAT - H.323 and/or SIP. Write the local networks as given in the example on the page, each on a new line. Set the RTP port range (default is 20000-65000). Save your settings.  

FireWall and NAT settings

For the server to work properly through the external network, it is necessary to arrange passing of traffic in both directions on the ports which have been set above in the server settings. The table shows the default values:

Port Protocol Assignment
22 TCP/UDP SSH for Support Services, if required
443 TCP/UDP For Web services
1719 UDP H.323 Registration, Logon and Status (RAS)
1720 TCP H.323 - Call Signalling (H.225)
3478 UDP STUN needed for WebRTC (not effective with symmetric NAT)
5060 TCP/UDP SIP
5061 TCP SIP TLS signaling
1024-65000 TCP H.323 (H.225/245) If not changed as above (20000-65000)
20000-65000 UDP Media (RTP/RTCP)

Server and client preparation

Setting up

For a quick start, the settings on the "Basic" tab, "Anonymous settings" pages and adding test Accounts are required.
1.To work with registered H.323 subscribers, go to "Settings" => to the "Main" tab and enable the "Internal Gatekeeper" server;

Settings - H.323

2. Be sure to check the date and time;
3. Under "Other Settings" enable the "Allow Group Calls" option, it will allow any authorised WS type subscriber to transfer point-to-point calls to multi-party conference mode and make "Group Calls";
4. Save the settings;
5. Go to the tab "Connect Anonymous", set the bandwidth for HD 1.5Mbps, for FHD 2.5Mbps and enable the item "Create Anonymous Rooms", adjust the other items as preferred and save the settings. This item allows Subscribers, having previously agreed among themselves on conference date/time/number, to start and conduct video conferences independently without any moderation and webcasting. Anonymous conferences are not displayed in the general peep on the "Conferences" page, but only on the main page in the "Anonymous conferences" indicator, where they can be forced to end. Once checked, it can be switched off if it is not required for further work;
6. check that there is nothing in the list of allowed codecs (right column) by default, this means that all codecs from the left column are allowed;
7. save the settings.
