SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 38 • H.323 interface configuration

Note The call-signaling port specified here has no effect, if a gatekeeper is used. In that case the gatekeeper will provide the portnumber to use for establishing the call signaling connection

Procedure: To configure an alternate destination TCP call-signaling port

Mode: Interface H.323

Step

1

Command	Purpose
node(if-h323)[if-name]# remoteport port	Specifies the TCP port to which the call-signal-
	ing connection should be established.

Example: Specifying an alternate destination call-signaling port

The following example shows how to set the destination call-signaling port number for the H.323 interface MyH323If to 2300.

node>enable

node#configure node(cfg)#context cs

node(ctx-cs)[switch]#interface h323 MyH323If node(if-h323)[MyH323If]#remoteport 2300

Configuring status inquiry settings (optional)

Normally, the H.323 gateway will send out status inquiries every minute on each connected H.323 call. According to the H.323 standard, the remote entity must respond to these status inquiries, which allows the H.323 gateway to detect, if the call on the remote H.323 entity is still alive. If no response is received after another minute, the call will be dropped.

Unfortunately, there are H.323 entities, which do no respond to these status inquiries. This causes every call to be dropped after being connected for two minutes using the default setting.

As a workaround for these non-compliant implementations, it is possible to disable the status inquiry check- ing.

It is also possible to change the default status inquiry interval of 60 seconds to a different value, if required.

Procedure: To disable status inquiries

Mode: Interface H.323

Step

Example: Disable status inquiries

The following example shows how to disable status inquiries for calls handled by the H.323 interface MyH323If.
