Step three: Configure the default gateway and routes (optional)

If the networks to which you connect contain more than one subnet, you might need to change the default gateway preference on the IP GW (default setting is Port A). You might also need to add routes to the configuration of the IP GW to indicate which interface will be used for certain IP addresses.

To configure the default gateway and route information: Log in to the IP GW and go to Network > Routes.

For more information about route configuration, refer to the online help topic: “Configuring IP routes settings”.

Step four: Configure an H.323 gatekeeper or SIP registrar (optional)

If you have H.323 endpoints, using an H.323 gatekeeper can make it easier for callers to make their call. You can configure the IP GW to use an external gatekeeper or its own built-in gatekeeper.

If you have SIP endpoints, using a SIP registrar can make it easier for callers to make their call.

To configure the use of an H.323 gatekeeper, go to Settings > H.323 To configure the use of a SIP registrar, go to Settings > SIP

For more information refer to the online help topics: “Configuring H.323 settings” and “Configuring SIP settings”.
