 Thank you Dan for your help. In publishing as a server on the mapped server 
protocol tab do you remember if this has to be H.323?

  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
