Chapter 6 Setting up the private VoIP network 73

Gatekeeper routing

The gatekeeper routes the calls based on an internal numbering table. Ensure that the gatekeeper administrator has a list of the numbers that identify the SRG and the SRG PSTN.

Examples:

If the system is running with a CDP dialing plan and the SRG DN range is from 3000 to 3199, the gatekeeper requires this information to establish that calls starting with 30 and 31 are routed to the SRG.

If the PSTN to which the SRG connects has a location code of 521, the gatekeeper must have a record of this code in the SRG list so that main office calls to the SRG PSTN can be routed correctly.

If you require H323 trunks, you must select the Gatekeeper wildcard check box in the H323 settings. If you do not select the Gatekeeper wildcard check box, then calls are SIP routed (default setting).

When you select the Gatekeeper wildcard check box, all dialed digits match gatekeeper digits and VoIP calls are routed through the gatekeeper.

For detailed information about H323 gatekeeper and SIP proxy, see the Networking Configuration Guide (NN40020-603).
