It's been almost six months since I upgraded, and I don't remember off
the top of my head the proper sequences to publish it in ISA2000.  If I
was sitting at the computer, I could figure it out, but don't remember
how to do it without references.  One of these other guys can help you
out with that part a lot easier than I can...  

 

Here's the general idea of what you need to do:

1.      Disable the gatekeeper (if you're not using it for anything
else), just to take that out of the equation.  When you publish it as a
server you're circumventing that anyways.
2.      Look in the setup menus of the video unit to determine what
ports it is using (At least on the PolyCom unit they were listed there).

3.      Enter a static IP on the video unit. 
4.      Create protocol definitions in the ISA server matching the ports
that you found in step 2.
5.      Create some rules to publish the ports you just defined, and
redirect them to the IP address of the video unit.

Hello Dan,

 

I am so glad to hear that you finally got it working. I was beginning to
think it was not possible. I did publish it as a "server" but there must
be something else I am missing. I do not play around with ISA enough to
remember all the settings. I setup the ports in protocol definitions is
this the only place I need to do that? We are running ISA 2000. Thank
you for your help,

Barbara

        This sounds like a similar situation I ran into before.  We had
a trial period with a PolyCom unit over a year ago (we were running
ISA2000 back then).  It is a portable device that you were supposed to
be able to plug into any network and it would just magically work with
teleconferencing.  Looking at the Tandberg website, the unit looks
different, but basically the same type of concept.

         

        Well, I plugged it in, and of course it didn't work.  So, I
spent many hours creating the right ports definitions, trying to get the
gatekeeper working, etc... No matter what I did, it would not connect
through the ISA server.  Sound familiar?  

         

        Finally, it dawned on me that in order for the unit to work, it
had to accept inbound requests.   So, I published the unit as a
"server", using the ports in the setup menus as a reference on what
ports to redirect to that unit.  Then, it finally started working!  

         

        It's not a great solution, but it's much-much better than losing
your ISA server.

        Hello All,

         

        After following the advice on this list and researching
everything I could find about the Gatekeeper service I have been unable
to make it work correctly so, I know it is not a popular subject, but
does anyone have any suggestions as to the best hardware firewall I
could get to replace ISA Server? I really don't want to leave ISA Server
behind, but the Tandberg Video Conferencing MUST work!

         

        Thank you for your help,

        Barbara
