TableD-5 Action Descriptions
Step Action Description
1. Local Admission Request (ARQ)—Local
endpoint to H.323 gatekeeper
Cisco ATA sends a local ARQ message to the H.323 gatekeeper
seeking authorization to place a call over the H.323 network.
2. Local Admission Confirm (ACF) or Admission
Reject (ARJ)—H.323 gatekeeper to the local
endpoint
H.323 gatekeeper returns a ACF or ARJ message, indicating
whether or not the responding gatekeeper is going to al low the
Cisco ATA device access to the network.
3. Open TCP Channel for Q.931 messaging TCP port 1720 is opened, making way for the forward and reverse
flow of Q.931 signaling messages between the H.323 endpoint
and the CSN/PSTN Gateway.
4. Q.931 Call Setup—Local H.323 endpoint to
remote H.323 endpoint
Call setup initiates from the local H.323 endpoint.
5. Q.931 Call Proceeding—Remote H.323
endpoint to local H.323 endpoint
Gateway acknowledges call setup initiation.
