Registering with a Gatekeeper Phone Directory
This section describes how to register H.323 endpoints
with the Gatekeeper. The H.323 Gatekeeper function
resides at a PC acting as the central point for all calls
within its zone and providing call control services to
registered endpoints. The Gatekeeper performs two
important call control functions: address translation from
LAN aliases to IP addresses, and bandwidth management
where the network manager has specified a threshold for
the number of simultaneous conferences on the LAN.
In a GateKeeper environment, you will be selecting the
GateKeeper option, entering an IP address for the
GateKeeper, and accepting the default port number. If the
GateKeeper network is servicing Fast Start, accept the
defaults in the Q.931 Parameters group. If this network
zone is primarily non-Fast Start supported, you will clear
the Use Fast Start check box.
1. Select the GateKeeper option.
2. The Use Fast Start check box is selected by default. If
the GateKeeper network employs Fast Start, leave this
selected. You may have to verify whether Fast Start is
used with the GateKeeper administrator .
