The H.323 Gateway supports direct, end-to-end voice paths using Virtual
Trunks with the following benefits:
• elimination of multiple IP Telephony to circuit-switched conversions
• improved voice quality
• simplified troubleshooting
• interoperability
The IP Peer Networking feature provides a Gatekeeper where all systems in
the network are registered.
The Gatekeeper software provides telephone number to IP address resolution.
Since all systems in the network are registered to the Gatekeeper, this
eliminates the need for manual configuration of IP addresses and numbering
plan information at every site. As a result, it also eliminates the duplication of
numbering plan information among sites. However, static registration and
manual configuration are still supported for backward compatibility.
For more information about the Gatekeeper, refer to IP Peer Networking
(553-3001-213).
The Element Manager Web server operates on the Succession Signaling
Server platform. Use the Web browser interface in conjunction with Optivity
Telephony Management (OTM) and the Command Line Interface (CLI) to
configure and maintain the elements in the Succession 1000 and
Succession 1000M systems.
For more information on Element Manager, refer to Succession 1000 Element
Manager: System Administration (553-3001-332).
