One to One Calls
A videoconference between two locations is usually very simple to arrange. Simply go to the venue and dial the other party using either the alias in the table above or the address book on a UNSW unit. If the other party is outside SWS, then you will need to obtain an IP address or alias for that unit in advance.
Firewalls
Many NSW Health videoconference units are behind firewalls. If you have an IP address that starts with a 10.*.*.* or 192.*.*.* - the unit is likely behind a firewall. You will need to contact local IT support for that unit and obtain an alias which allows you to navigate the firewall. The alias will look something like 1234567@203.5.105.99.
ISDN
UNSW does not support calls to ISDN numbers (i.e. numbers that look like a phone number). Attempts to call a phone number from UNSW units will be rejected.
Calling Multiple Sites (Zoom Bridge)
South Western Sydney Clinical School utilises Zoom to allow participants to dial to multiple locations and to allow people using desktop computers and mobile devices to access videoconferences. A number of dedicated Zoom bookings are available for regular events with their details below. Full login details are available in the invitation which requires users to login to obtain.

Webinars
Are you hosting an event with a large number of participants where audience control is paramount or you want to broadcast with limited or no interaction from the audience? The School's Zoom implementation also allows this with up to 100 participants able to join with a broadcasting host computer and a panelist able to utilise a videoconference unit on the UNSW network.
To allow users to watch your event, please contact the School to schedule your webinar using one of the prebooked webinar accounts.
To operate a webinar, the host computer - which will either be the main presenting computer or someone hosting who is presenting, requires the Zoom webinar account to be installed on their computer. More informaion will be provided when a booking is made.
Note, any user joining from a H323 in-room videoconference unit will be a panelist on the call and should mute their audio if not presenting.
Please contact the School at
swsydvc@unsw.edu.au to obtain a password if you are employed at SWSLHD and do not have access to these invitations.

Zoom can also be utilised for VOIP teleconferences using the existing videoconference units, Zoom applications on PC, Mac or mobile apps or via telephone.
