Integrators’ Reference Manual for ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, and VS4000

Service prefixes are short numeric strings that identify the services being requested, such as call speed and zone.

An H.323 dial plan allows you to associate a numeric alias to the network address of each H.323 entity. This is the calling plan that you develop for H.323 deployments.

In large deployments, the dial plan also helps to manage resources by segmenting user populations.

The dial plan defines the following elements of the deployment:

❑Services — these include system services, gateway and MCU services.

❑Routing and policies — these include the default group policy and least-cost routing tables.

❑Network topology — includes private numbering plans (E.164 provisioning) or a public dialing plan (ISDN alias assignment).

❑Neighbor gatekeepers — these are gatekeepers that manage other H.323 zones within an organization.

❑Addressing — specifies the requirements for assigning zone and service prefixes and endpoint addresses.

Before you design a dial plan, you should document:

❑Current telephone number dialing patterns

❑Planned router locations

❑Traffic routing requirements

Because no standard protocol defines the dynamic routing of E.164 addresses, H.323 dial plans must be configured statically and managed on gateway and gatekeeper platforms.

To reduce the complexity of the configuration, confine H.323 addresses to one portion of the dial plan.
