Edit External H.323 SBC Dialog

The following table describes the fields in the Edit External H.323 SBC dialog.

Note: SBC configuration

Only H.323 SBCs are added to the External H.323 SBC page. SIP SBCs are configured as SIP peers (see External SIP Peer) and/or on a per-site basis (see Edit Site Dialog).

H.323 SBCs that are added to the External H.323 SBC page are reached by prefix-based dialing (rule 4 of the default dial plan; see The Default Dial Plan and Suggestions for Modifications).

SBCs to be reached by a dial rule using the Resolve to IP address action (rule 6 of the default dial plan) are configured on a per-site basis (see Edit Site Dialog).

In general, H.323 SBCs should be configured on a per-site basis, so that calls to endpoints outside the enterprise network are routed to the SBC assigned to the originating site.
