* It is not possible to activate the NetMeeting data communication in case the IUT is called (by means of the alias) by a remote H.323 terminal. In this case no problems are present in the audio an video communication. It has been verified that the IUT rejects the activation of the data channel requested by the remote terminal;

NOTE: It has been verified that if the call is activated by the IUT the NetMeeting data communication is successfully established. It is also verified that in case if incoming and outgoing calls (by means of the IP address), the NetMeeting data communication is successfully established.

** In case the IUT makes outgoing call towards ISDN H.320/T.120 terminals (through the PICTURETEL GateWay) the multimedia connection is not established. The problem is due to the incorrect H.320 procedures implemented by the PICTURETEL unit.
