Registering with a Gatekeeper Phone Directory

This section describes how to register H.323 endpoints with the Gatekeeper. The H.323
Gatekeeper function resides at a PC acting as the central point for all calls within its zone and
providing call control services to registered endpoints. The Gatekeeper performs two important call
control functions: address translation from LAN aliases to IP addresses, and bandwidth
management where the network manager has specified a threshold for the number of
simultaneous conferences on the LAN.
In a GateKeeper environment, you will be enabling the GateKeeper option, entering an IP address
for the GateKeeper, accepting the default port number, and if the GateKeeper network is servicing
Fast Start, accept the defaults in the Q.931 Parameters group. However, if this network zone is
primarily non-fast start supported, disable Use Fast Start.
27. Enable the Gatekeeper option
28. If the GateKeeper network employs Fast Start, then accept the Use Fast Start option
(default). You may have to verify this with the GateKeeper administrator.
29. Enter the Gatekeeper IP Address in the IP Address box.
