Networking and security solution for enterprises and 
service providers.

The Polycom V

2

IU 6400-S series can reduce costs by simplifying the deployment, management and security 

of converged video, voice and data networks. It helps resolve NAT/firewall traversal issues by performing

video and voice NAT at the public/private IP address boundary, which eliminates the security risks of other

traversal methods that tunnel or “obscure” video and voice traffic from existing perimeter security. 

The Polycom V

2

IU 6400-S employs a stateful packet inspection firewall in combination with an application

layer gateway, providing comprehensive application-aware security. This approach enables the Polycom 

V

2

IU 6400-S to dynamically provision and close TCP and UDP ports as needed by video and voice endpoints. 

Topology hiding is utilized to protect H.323 gatekeepers and multipoint conference units from network-based

attacks. Simply install the Polycom V

2

IU 6400-S between your H.323 gatekeeper or multipoint conference

units and the public IP network to hide their real IP addresses and increase security.

Optimizing the quality of your video and voice calls is easy, as the Polycom V

2

IU 6400-S routes video and

voice traffic via the shortest path possible to minimize jitter, latency, and packet loss. Dynamic access control

list identifies and authenticates video and voice devices as they register with the gatekeeper. This authenti-

cation mechanism eliminates the need to manually program IP addresses of valid devices in other firewalls

around the perimeter of the data center. 

It's clear that the Polycom V

2

U 6400-S series is an easily deployed network appliance solution that provides

greater scalability than other server-based software solutions. And since it protects critical IP communication

components used in the delivery of hosted video or voice services, it's the ideal solution for both enterprises

and service providers.
