I know enough about our equipment (an Accord MGC-100 bridge and several
Polycom units) to be dangerous. Outside our in-house network, our
endpoints seem to have no problem with this, but we cannot keep
connected to a conference for more than 1 hour, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.
I'm thinking it's a firewall issue, but what do I know? I've found
nothing in the MGC Manager, PathNavigator, or the individual in-house
Polycoms (VSX7000, an older v.35, and a FX) setups to indicate
otherwise. The bridge doesn't disconnect anyone, the endpoints are
still connected, it's just our in-house equipment disconnects. Has
anyone else experienced this? I need to be able to discuss this
intelligently with our IS folks, who manage the firewall.

You don't have the "Max Time In Call" set too low do you?

It's set for 480 minutes, which is the max "max time in call" I
believe. That was one of the first things I checked.

Just for kicks, set the max time in call to 0 (I believe that is how you
deactivate the feature) and see if you still experience the disconnect
problems.

A kind soul emailed a link, which discussed a timeout value on H225, in
the PIX. I sent this information to our firewall commander, who checked
it out. The solution was indeed a timeout value, but not on H225. It
was aTCP timeout, which he set for 10 hours.

I hope this information helps someone else who might be experiencing
this.
