H.323 Terminals

The name H.323 terminal is used basically to refer to any H.323-compliant terminal attached to the IP network. It can be either an IP telephone or an IP PC client, also called softphone.

The H.323 terminals that are compliant to H.323 Version 2 and additionally support the proprietary protocol to communicate with the MX-ONE Service Node, are called MX-ONE H.323 terminals.

The H.323 terminal makes use of the mobility concept. That is, the user can log on to the MX-ONE Service Node using any compliant terminal and will get the capabilities profile defined for this specific user. Once the user has logged on to the system, the terminal becomes an H.323 terminal. The way to log on is by entering the extension number and optionally a PIN code, which is checked against the one stored by the system. The PIN can be changed by the end user.
