2 streams can be viewed using the RSS  
2000 Multicast Viewer. The archives must  
be enabled for multicast streaming. See the  
User Guide for details.

(Multicast)  
How many streams/archives

(multicast)?  
There is no limitation for the amount of RSS  
2000 devices that can be in a single  
clustering group.  
1. In clustering mode, each RSS 2000 still  
supports 10 H.323 playback sessions.  
For example: One H.323 endpoint  
connects to RSS-A to playback an  
archive residing on RSS-B (B is in a  
clustering group with A in this example).  
The H.323 playback resource it occupies  
is taken from RSS-A, even though the  
archive resides on RSS-B. RSS-A has 9  
additional H.323 playback sessions  
available, while RSS-B still has all 10  
sessions available.  
How many RSS 2000 devices  
can be clustered in a single  
group?  
Clustering  
2. WMV playback via the archive list in the  
web UI of a clustered RSS 2000 will  
utilize unicast streaming resources from  
the RSS device where the archive  
actually resides, not from the clustered  
device that the user is connected to. Note  
this is the reverse of the resource usage  
behavior for H.323 playback.

RSS 2000 Getting Started Guide & Release Notes – Version 3.0.2  
Notes Regarding On Demand Archive  
The UDP ports used for on demand archives are randomly chosen. There are two  
ways to configure firewalls and Windows Media Player for usage with RSS 2000 on  
demand archives.  
1
Open an outbound UDP port range matching what is used by Windows Media  
Player, or open all UDP ports outbound from RSS 2000 to effectively bypass the  
firewall for outbound traffic. Also open the port range used by Windows Media  
Player for inbound traffic to the viewing PC. This range is configurable in  
Windows Media Player, as seen in Figure 1 (Windows Media Player defaults  
shown). The user can check RTSP/UDP, check ‘Use ports’ and define the port  
range.  
2
Disable UDP connections in Windows Media Player to force a TCP-only  
connection. This configuration utilizes only TCP port 554. As seen in Figure 2,  
unchecking RTSP/UDP removes the user’s ability to specify a port range and  
forces all connections to use TCP 554 only.

When scheduling a dial out & record from the Web UI, RSS will  
loopback the video and NEVER show the menu unless a menu  
operation command (FECC arrow keys or DTMF 2/4/6/8) is given  
from the endpoint.  
ƒ
ƒ
When a pre-defined endpoint dials into the RSS and the endpoint has  
the "immediate recording" option, RSS will never show the menu  
unless a menu operation command is given.  
Endpoint menu  
When inviting an endpoint to a P2P recording room (using E.164  
number of the P2P room followed by # or * and E.164 number of the  
invited endpoint), the inviting endpoint will view menu and the invited  
endpoint will not view the menu.  
ƒ
When two endpoints meet at a P2P recording room, only one of them  
can view the menu at a time.  
Maximum bandwidth for a P2P recording room is 1024K. If video

RSS 2000 Getting Started Guide & Release Notes – Version 3.0.2  
Subject  
Description  
ƒ
Only two H323 devices can utilize archive Preview. This means when  
there are 2 endpoints previewing on RSS 2000, the third endpoint to  
connect to RSS 2000 will not receive preview. Even if the two  
endpoints stop receiving preview or disconnect the third endpoint still  
cannot receive preview images until it re-connects to the RSS.  
ƒ
ƒ
HD and SD archives cannot be previewed.  
H.323 preview  
No Transcoding for Preview. This means that an archive recorded in  
H263 will not be able to be previewed by an endpoint connected in  
H264 and vice versa. However, if the endpoint supports both H264  
and H263, archive preview will be available.  
ƒ
In a clustered configuration, H.323 endpoint cannot receive a preview  
image of an archive that is not stored on the RSS unit that the  
endpoint is directly connected to.  
Archive Converter  
When using the RSS 2000ArchiveConverter, the transcoded file loaded  
back to the RSS will be limited to 20 FPS.  
When working with a gatekeeper in routed mode, devices that are  
trying to call to the RSS using its IP address instead of its E.164 alias  
will be rejected if they are not registered to the same gatekeeper as the  
RSS.  
This is the right policy when working with routed mode on the GK  
ƒ
ƒ
When working with the MGC in Video switching mode – the RSS will  
indicate High Definition recording is occurring.  
MGC Integration  
HDX Interoperability  
Clustering  
You can disable HD or define the minimum rate for HD in the single  
point recording setting of the RSS, or as alternative disable HD in  
system.cfg of the MGC.  
Playback of H263 recordings by HDX endpoints may result in some  
video artifacts.  
ƒ
ƒ
Only archives with viewing rights configured for “Allow All”, can be  
shared using clustering.  
When clustering, archives that are not saved on the RSS 2000 being  
directly managed, can not be deleted or have their properties  
modified.  
Each RSS 2000 is capable of 2 recording and 8 H323 playbacks (total  
of 10 H323 Connections).  
ƒ
When using the RSS Hunting function with Cisco GK, the GK will  
hunt to the next available RSS after the RSS is full with 10 H323  
connections.  
Hunting  
ƒ
Hunting is only supported with PathNavigator/SE2000, RADVISION  
GK, and Cisco GK .

Interoperability  
The RSS 2000 support H263 content (Not H264) – as most endpoint  
currently support H263 content – in order to prevent interoperability  
issue, when playing back the stream (In H323) the RSS will not  
support H264 content (Lower common nominator)  
H239 Content

Known Limitations  
Subject  
Description  
RSS can not encode 2CIF/2SIF as a standard resolution when  
transforming to WMV file , the WMV file is not correct resolution , just  
keep same scale with 2CIF or 2SIF , so the anemographic video will  
be showed on PC .  
2CIF/2SIF support  
Disable promotion on the VSX when working with the VSX  
The same LAN Speed need to be forced on the RSS side and in the  
switch side.  
LAN Setting  
SIREN 22 Stereo is supported for H323 Playback. When playing the  
archive using windows media player - the archive will be played in  
mono.  
Stereo support  
RSS takes a while to respond to a "stop recording" action at endpoint,  
can not end and play IVR immediately.  
RSS 2000 Can not support 2CIF live streaming, will convert to WMV  
off line.  
There is a limitation here , if you enable HD capacity of RSS , when it  
become the first participant to connect HD endpoint with MP , HD  
endpoint will send HD video format , but once the second endpoint to  
join the conference , HD endpoint will send CIF format video to RSS ,  
if you start recording before changing to CIF format , it means RSS  
will save 720P and CIF format video in one WMV file , WMV file can  
not support this , it will encode error. It is a known limitation.  
HD Endpoint  
Embedded MP  
integration  
We have 2 option to avoid this :  
1 Disable HD capacity of RSS when connect to HD MP  
2 After HD MP sending CIF format vide, start to record, before  
other participants leave (if only leave RSS, will change to HD again)  
stop recording.  
I do recommend option 1.  
ƒ
When RSS dial into endpoint MP, only when RSS is speaker,  
customer can control RSS by FECC, but once speaker change to  
other participant, it will be back never, so customer can not control  
RSS by FECC.  
FECC control with  
Endpoint embedded  
MP  
ƒ
When RSS dial into endpoint MP, if you press left key to hide the  
menu, you will see the loop video on the screen, so don’t hide the  
menu in this situation.  
We recommend when working with endpoint embedded MP, please  
don’t use FECC control, please just use DTMF.  
Clustering  
Only support 10 H.323 playback, including local and remote playback.  
When use software shutdown command, customer need to turn on  
the power switch after 2 minutes at least , otherwise the system might  
not boot correctly .
