Using the Gatekeeper Routed Call Model

The Gatekeeper Routed call model should be used when there is an SG in the network path between IP endpoints (e.g. IP hard phones and IP soft phones) and the Gatekeeper with which those IP endpoints register and 1) either the IP endpoints or the Gatekeeper is being NATed by the SG or 2) the SG’s Firewall function is enabled.

When using Gatekeeper Routed Call Model, configure the following:

Service Port. The port to which the IP endpoints will send Registration/Access/Status (RAS) messages.

Source Endpoints Zone. The zone where the IP endpoints are located with respect to the SG (e.g. “private” when the IP endpoints are on private side of the SG).

Source Endpoints Network Objects. The IP networks that define the IP address space of the IP endpoints.

Gatekeeper Zone. The zone where the gatekeeper is located with respect to the SG (e.g. “public” when the gatekeeper is on the public side of the SG).

Gatekeeper IP address. The gatekeeper configured IP address.

The Proxy IP and Proxy Port in the “Add Gatekeeper” dialog are used typically when the Gatekeeper is on the private side of the SG and is getting NATed by the SG. In that case, the Proxy IP and Proxy Port would be configured to be the IP address and port by which the Gatekeeper is known to IP endpoints wanting to register with that Gatekeeper. If the Gatekeeper IP address is not being NATed by the SG, the Proxy IP and Proxy Port do not need to be configured.
