SeeVogh dialing a H.323 endpoint

Any participant with moderator privileges can access the Call H.323/SIP client menu option.  To give yourself moderator privileges, simply  open participants list, right click on your  name and select “Enter Meeting Moderator Key” and then enter the meetings moderators key. Then this will make the “Call H.323/SIP client” available”.

As you can see – this is pretty much similar to the EVO client, so enter ip-address, E164@gatekeeper address, etc to make a connection.

Using a H.323 Endpoint to dial in to Meeting

Unlike EVO, SeeVogh provides “dialling in” capabilities.  To join a meeting, simply using the following examples on your H.323 Endpoint device:

• This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. where XXX is the 10 digit meeting ID.
• Mirial softphone, sip: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , or
  h323: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
• Polycom H.323 devices require this format: gw.seevogh.com##XXX

Using the AccessGrid/SeeVogh Bridge

It is possible to join specialised Access Grid Virtual Venues (Emu, Kangaroo and Platypus) using SeeVogh.

To join these specialised Access Grid Virtual Venues, simply click on one of the following links below, in which it will launch SeeVogh:

• EMU
• Kangaroo
• Platypus
• AG-Test Venue

Using the Bridge from Access Grid

In the Venue client, from the APAG lobby (https://vv3.ap-accessgrid.org:8000/Venues/default), navigate to the AG-EVO@AU Bridge Lobby and enter the desired bridge Venue.

Caveats (as at 15/10/2012)

• Access Grid users should be using AGTK version 3.2 or higher and have HD/H.264 node services (particularly video consumers) in use.
• Access Grid users should set their transmitted video to use either H.261 or H.264 (may be problematic), as using MPEG4 encoding streams cannot be seen by SeeVogh users.
• Desk Share (SeeVogh) can be seen and both AG and EVO users;
• VPCScreen (when using H.261AS encoding) can only be seen by Access Grid users.

SeeVogh telephone bridge

The Telephone Bridge allows people to take part in a SeeVogh meeting using only audio. To use the bridging system:

• Ensure when booking the meeting, that the H323/SIP option is selected - otherwise the meeting will not be "phone" bridgeable.
• Dial the phone number that is closest to your location (see table below)
• Enter the Meeting ID on your phone's keypad, then press #
• If the meeting is password-protected, enter the password (a number, in this context)

  • SeeVogh converts the "Access Code" from text to a 4 digit number. To obtain this 4 digit password, look at the H323/SIP link, it should look something like This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . The first 10 digits is the meeting id (1234567890####@gw.seevogh.com), the last four digits (########## This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) will be the password number required to enter the meeting using the phone bridge.

  • Note - the developers are working on providing this password information in the booking email. For the time being - please use this process to obtain meeting password.

  • NOTE: even if you enter a four digit number at the "access code", this will be converted to a four digit number and in most cases, this will be a different number. So please check the last four number on the H323/SIP link (########## This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )

• After a moment you will be connected to the meeting

For users located in Australia, the table below lists the bridging numbers grouped by area code. Capital cities are listed first, followed by regional areas. Please use the number that is closest to your geographic location.

The meeting ID will be the 10-digit SeeVogh meeting number that is provided to the meeting creator.  If you don’t have this meeting ID, it is recommended that you contact the person who booked the meeting.
