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:

be unique.

 

The system restarts if you change this setting.
