Calls work in one direction, but not in the reverse direction. Place a
■
call to determine which firewall is blocking TCP traffic. Once you
determine this, it is the remote firewall that is blocking the traffic.
You can place an outgoing H.323 call from a system in one of several
ways, as discussed in this section.
See Chapter 11 for information about how to use the dial plan to set up
the system to use H.323 ports.
Depending on how you set up the dial plan, the most convenient way to
place a call to a new number is to dial a ConneXtions extension list
(configured within the dial plan), which provides a connection to an
available H.323 port. If a port is available (not busy), enter the extension
and IP address from the telephone key pad. Use the
the four "octets" in the IP address, and then press the # key to "dial
now."
You must configure the dial plan to use ConneXtions. You must have
Super User Group CoS privileges to perform this test.
These examples show key pad sequences that request an extension list
connection and a specific port connection:
8192 168 1
* * *
where extension list access is used
OR
754 192 168
* *
if there is no extension list access, or if you want to test specific ports.
The first example begins with an 8 to request any available H.323 port.
The second example begins with the 3-digit extension (754) of a specific
H.323 port. The remaining digits in both examples represent the IP
address of the remote H.323 gateway (192.168.1.15). Note that IP
addresses are always four octets long. In this case, 15 is the last octet.
Extension Lists
You can configure H.323 ports for single-digit access (usually 8) instead of
a specific 3-digit line extension. The single-digit access allows the system
to select an available line port when you place an external call.
