Configuring Dialing Speeds
Setting up dialing speeds lets you define the speeds users can choose when they
make calls or add Directory entries.
To configure the dialing speeds available to users:
1. Go to System Info > Admin Setup > LAN/H.323 > H.323 > Dialing Speeds.
2. Select the call rates that users can choose for making calls.
•Nx56 and Nx64 rates are available for ISDN calls.
•IPx56 and IPx64 rates are available for IP calls.
Configuring the System to Use a Gatekeeper
A gatekeeper supervises network traffic and manages functions such as
bandwidth control and admission control. The gatekeeper also handles address
translation, which allows users to make calls using static aliases instead of IP
addresses that may change each day.
To configure the system to use a gatekeeper:
1. Go to System Info > Admin Setup > LAN/H.323 > H.323 > Gatekeeper.
2. Configure these settings:
Setting Description
H.323 Name Specifies the name that gatekeepers and gateways use to identify
this system. You can make point-to-point calls using H.323 names
if both systems are registered to a gatekeeper.
The H.323 Name is the same as the System Name, unless you
change it. Your organization’s dial plan may define the names you
can use. Each system’s name must be unique.
The system restarts if you change this setting.
H.323 Extension
(E.164) Specifies the extension that gatekeepers and gateways use to
identify this system.
The default H.323 Extension is based on the system serial
number, but it can be changed. Your organization’s dial plan may
define the extensions you can use. Each system’s extension must
be unique.
The system restarts if you change this setting.
