Setting Description
Display H.323 Allows users to enter H.323 extensions separately from the
Extension gateway ID on the Place a Call screen. If your system is
registered with a gatekeeper, this setting also displays your
H.323 extension on the home screen.
If you do not select this setting, users make gateway calls by
entering the call information in this format:
gateway ID + ## + extension
H.323 Name Specifies the name that gatekeepers and gateways use to
identify this system. You can make point-to-point calls using
H.323 names if both systems are registered to a gatekeeper.
The H.323 Name is the same as the System Name, unless
you change it. Your organization's dial plan may define the
names you can use.
H.323 Extension Lets users place point-to-point calls using the extension if both
(E.164) systems are registered with a gatekeeper, and specifies the
extension that gatekeepers and gateways use to identify this
system.
Your organization's dial plan may define the extensions you
can use.

Configuring the System to Use a Gatekeeper

A gatekeeper 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:
Do one of the following:
1
— In the local interface, go to System > Admin Settings > Network > IP
> H.323 Settings (select
— In the web interface, go to Admin Settings > Network > IP Network
> H.323 Settings.
