The Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway is part of the Cisco IP/VC 3500 Series product family. The product family consists of:
The Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway is a network hardware solution that allows audio, video and data conferencing to occur between H.323-compliant LAN endpoints and H.320-compliant terminals on PRI networks. The Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway translates H.323 and H.320 protocols so that LAN users can communicate with ISDN and PSTN users.
The Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway features include:
This section provides information about the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway that is not included in the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Gateway User Guide.
The Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway uses a proprietary PRI connector interface. Cisco ships a PRI adapter cable for CSU connection with the unit. Table 1 shows the pinout configuration of the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway PRI port.

Figure 1 shows the pinout configuration on the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway adapter cable for CSU.
This section describes how to save configuration parameters for the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway and for the embedded gatekeeper. The configuration parameters are saved as files on the computer you use to set the parameters. You can use the gateway file to restore the parameters to the current Video Gateway or to configure other Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateways. You can use the embedded gatekeeper files to restore parameters on the current embedded gatekeeper or to configure other Cisco IP/VC embedded gatekeepers.
The save option saves a complete set of configuration parameters for the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway. The set includes all of the configurable gateway parameters in all of the configurable dialog boxes from the Unit ID dialog box through the WAN Port Settings dialog box.
To save configuration parameters for the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway, follow these steps:
Step 1 Launch the Cisco IP/VC Configuration Utility.
Step 2 Login to the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway that has the parameters you want to save.
Step 3 Click Unit Setup in the Configuation Source dialog box.
Step 4 Proceed to the Miscellaneous Parameters dialog box. You can make changes in the Unit Identification dialog box and in the Miscellaneous Parameters dialog box.
Step 5 If you want to save the configuration with only the changes you have made up to this point, click Finish. The Save Setup dialog box appears.
The Save Setup dialog box allows you to save the entire set of Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway parameters as a file and to upload the file to the units Flash memory. Go to Step 7 for instruction on how to save the parameters as a file.
If you want to change additional Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway parameters, click Next.
Step 6 If you have opted to make additional configuration changes, continue through the parameter dialog boxes making the appropriate changes as you go. The Save Setup dialog box appears after you have verified that the WAN parameters are correct.
Step 7 In the Save Setup dialog box:
(a) In the Save as text box, enter a filename for the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway parameter file you want to create. If you want to save the parameters to an existing file, click the spinner and select the file from the drop-down list.
(b) Click Yes. The file is saved in the Cisco IPVC Tools/ Configuration folder on the configurating computer. The Confirm dialog box appears.
The filename will appear in the Source drop-down list of the Configuration Source dialog box whenever you access a Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway using the current configurating computer.
Step 8 The Confirm dialog box lets you upload the configuration file you have just saved to the unit's Flash memory. If you do not want to save the parameters you have set to the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway, click No. Click Yes if you want to upload the parameters.
Step 9 Complete the remaining dialog boxes.
You can load a file you save into the Cisco IP/VC Configuration Utility to restore the parameters on a Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway or to use to set a Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway parameters.
To load a file into the Cisco IP/VC Configuration Utility, follow these steps:
Step 1 Launch the Cisco IP/VC Configuration Utility.
Step 2 Login to the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway that has the parameters you want to save.
Step 3 Click the Source text box in the Configuation Source dialog box. A drop-down list appears containing all of the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway configuration files stored on the configuration computer.
Step 4 Select the file you want to use.
Step 5 Click Unit Setup. The file is loaded into the configuration utility. You can modify the parameters and upload the file to the selected unit's Flash memory.
The embedded gatekeeper configuration tables are set and save independently of each other. To save the parameters you set in a table, follow these steps:
Step 1 Launch the Cisco IP/VC Configuration Utility.
Step 2 Login to the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway that has the parameters you want to save.
Step 3 Click Gatekeeper in the Configuation Source dialog box.
Step 4 Click the application parameter configuration you want to save.
Step 5 Set the parameters as you want to save them in the table.
Step 6 Click Save. The Save As dialog box appears.
Step 7 In the File name text box, enter the name you want to use for the file you save. The appropriate extension for the application is automatically applied.
Step 8 Click Save.
To load embedded gatekeeper table configuration parameters you have saved into the configuration utility, follow these steps:
Step 1 Launch the Cisco IP/VC Configuration Utility.
Step 2 Login to the Cisco IP/VC 3525 Video Gateway that has the parameters you want to save.
Step 3 Select Gatekeeper in the Configuation Source dialog box.
Step 4 Click the application parameter you want to configure. The application table appears.
Step 1 Click Load. The Open dialog box appears.
The Open dialog box lists files in the appropriate Cisco IP/VC directory that you can load. The file type is preselected. The file types are:
Step 2 Select the file you want to load.
Step 3 Click OK. The parameters are loaded into the Cisco IP/VC Configuration Utility.
You can use the file as is or modify the parameters for the current embedded gatekeeper. The parameters can be written to the unit's Flash memory when you exit the definition table.
