Dialogic 6.2 manual Using H.323 Address Forms, November 227

Managing Calls Using IP Telephony

Using H.323 Address Forms

To allow applications to work for both SIP and H.323, the dialstring field for BfvLineOriginateCall and BfvCallSetup accepts a format of phone_number@ip_address (a current SIP format).

The phone number is an optional field as is the port in the

ip_address. The existing H.323 dialstrings remain unchanged and are still supported as described below. This option provides a unified way of placing a non-gatekeeper call that works for both SIP and H.323.

Examples of supported dialstrings for H.323:

1234@208.242.99.10

1234@208.242.99.10:1720

Dialogic products accept the following H.323 Called Party Address forms:

	„	A transport address
	„	An E.164 alias
	„ A H.323 ID alias
	Unless noted, the rules below also apply to an H.323 Calling Party
	Address.
Transport Address	This Called Party Address must start with the identifier “TA:”
(IP Address)	followed by the transport address.

A transport address consists of an IP address followed by the “:” character followed by a port number or another H.323 address.

A port number is not required and, if it is not specified, then the software uses the default H.323 port of 1720.

IP address followed by a port number example: TA:198.133.219.25:1721

IPv6 addresses are also supported and need to be in hexadecimal notation, inside brackets. For example;

[HHHH:HHHH:HHHH:HHHH:HHHH:HHHH:HHHH:HHHH]
