Rules for Assigning Prefixes and Numeric Aliases

In assigning prefixes and numeric aliases, it is critically important to observe certain rules:

❑MCUs and gateways provide services, so they must have service prefixes assigned to them. Each service must have its own prefix. For example, an MCU or gateway will have a separate service prefix for each call speed that it provides.

❑MCU and gateway services work across zones only if used in conjunction with a manually entered zone prefix.

❑If the system uses more than one gatekeeper, each gatekeeper must have a zone identifier prefix.

❑The numeric aliases for terminals and conferences may begin with the same initial digit(s) as any service prefix or zone identifier prefix. This is because PathNavigator’s parsing rule is that aliases are checked first and service prefixes are checked last.

❑The numerals used for service prefixes may not start with an existing service prefix. Example: If 9 is selected as your access simplified dialing system service, then you may not create MCU or gateway service prefixes that begin with 9.

❑Local zone prefixes are not considered local service prefixes. Therefore, if you have a local zone prefix of 408, you may still use 40 to designate a service.

Service Plans

A service plan assigns numeric prefixes to services on the network. Gatekeepers use service prefixes to route terminal requests to the appropriate provider of services. Services on the network are processed by media processors on the network. Within H.323, media processors are MCUs, gateways, and proxies. A service prefix is analogous to the digit 9 that you must dial to request an outside line from a PBX system; the system’s response of connecting you to the requested outside line would be the service in this example.
