Configuring IP Settings

Specifying H.323 Settings

If your network uses a gatekeeper, the system can automatically register its H.323 name and extension. This allows others to call the system by entering the H.323 name or extension instead of the IP address.

To specify H.323 settings:

1Go to System > Admin Settings > Network > IP > H.323 Settings.

2Configure these settings on the H.323 Settings screen:

	Setting		Description

	Display H.323		Lets users placing a gateway call enter the H.323 extension
	Display H.323		Lets users placing a gateway call enter the H.323 extension
	Extension		separately from the gateway ID.
			If you do not select this setting, users make gateway calls by
			entering the call information in this format: gateway ID + ## +
			extension

	H.323 Name		Specifies the name that gatekeepers use to identify this system.
			You can make point-to-point calls using H.323 names if both
			systems are registered to a gatekeeper.
			The H.323 Name is the same as the System Name, unless you
			change it. Your organization’s dial plan may automatically define
			the names you can use.

	H.323		Specifies the extension that gatekeepers and gateways use to
	Extension		identify this system. Lets users place point-to-point calls using
	(E.164)		the extension if both systems are registered with a gatekeeper.
			The default H.323 Extension can be changed. Your
			organization’s dial plan may automatically define the extensions
			you can use.

Configuring the System to Use a Gatekeeper

A gatekeeper is a “network administrator” that supervises network traffic and manages functions such as bandwidth control and admission control. The gatekeeper also handles address translation, which allows users to make calls using static aliases instead of IP addresses that may change each day.

To configure the system to use a gatekeeper:

1Go to System > Admin Settings > Network > IP > H.323 Settings.
