How to update the gatekeeper settings in PVX

Over Christmas 2006 we have migrated the external, public IP addresses for our video conferencing services to an entirely new IP range under the control of Service Birmingham.

In order for schools to make VC calls using E164 numbers the gatekeeper registration address will need to be changed in the PVX desktop video conference software to 80.249.56.3:1719 using the instructions below.

The latest version of the PVX software (8.0.2) is available to download here: PVX_802.exe.

Note: this is not free software, nor do Link2ICT provide licenses f.o.c. The software is the property of Polycom and you will need to purchase a license if you do not already have one.

	Double click the PVX icon on the desktop to launch PVX.
	When PVX launches click the spanner icon in in the top left corner to open the settings window.
	Select H323 from the menu in the left-hand pane of the settings window. Note: this may look different if you are using an earlier version of the software.
	In the Gatekeeper IP Address text box delete the existing entry and type 80.249.56.3:1719
	Now click on the OK button to complete the settings.
	After a few seconds the yellow alert triangle in the bottom right corner of the main screen should disappear.
	If the yellow warning triangle remains after more than a few minutes you may need to log a call with the Link2ICT Service Desk: This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it .
