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

Addressing

The addressing components of an H.323 dial plan are:

Gatekeeper zone identifiers or prefixes

Entity addressing

Terminal aliases (include numeric and alphabetic aliases)

System Services

MCU service prefixes

Gateway service prefixes

Each H.323 entity must have at least one network address (transport address). The network address uniquely identifies the H.323 entity on the network. It is typically a TCP/IP address.

If the entity is a terminal, it may also have one or more alias addresses associated with it.

Zones and Zone Prefixes

A zone is the collection of all terminals, gateways, and MCUs managed by a single gatekeeper. A zone may be independent of network topology, and may include multiple network segments which are connected by routers and other devices.

When using multiple zones (multiple gatekeepers), zone identifiers must be used. Zone identifiers are analogous to area codes.

Specifying local zone prefixes enables the gatekeeper to resolve addresses sent by neighbor gatekeepers. The local zone prefix identifies this gatekeeper. Some gatekeepers do not strip prefixes before the address when sending out a request for address resolution. These addresses cannot be resolved without the local zone prefix. The local zone prefix needs to be removed from the dialed address in order to match the address to a registrant.
