Dialing-in from an H.323 Endpoint

Simple Dial-in Using the IP Card Address

In simple dial-in, the participant dials the IP address of the IP card installed in the MCU, so no gatekeeper is required. The participant is routed to the destination conference according to the participant’s IP address defined for the participant in the conference.

Figure 2-4: H.323 Participant simple dial-in using the IP Card address

In this dial-in mode, the MGC Manager operator must manage the system resources by distributing the participant connections between the cards. This is done by giving the IP address of the appropriate H.323 card to each of the participants.

Simple Dial-in Using the IP Card Alias

Participants can use the alias of the IP card installed in the MCU to dial-in. In this mode, a gatekeeper is required in order to provide address translation and routing to the IP module. When the participant enters the IP card alias, the call is routed to the gatekeeper that forwards the call to the appropriate IP card according to its table of aliases and IP addresses.
