Using H.323 Protocol
Configuring the H.323 Phone
Once you have the above infrastructure in place, you can power up the H.323
phone. The H.323 phone will play a call progress tone and try to register with
the H.323 Gate Keeper. This operation will fail since the H.323 phone is not
configured properly and it will play an error tone. However, the H.323 phone is
accessible through an Internet browser for configuration.
The H.323 phone IP address is required to access the phone through a browser.
The H.323 phone uses factory default values before configuration and the de-
fault IP address is 10.1.1.80 (net mask 255.0.0.0). The user can enter an IP
address immediately after factory reset as per the format *x*y*z*a*#, where
the symbols * and # are mandatory.
The following parameters should be configured for proper functioning of the
H.323 phone. Other parameters can use the default values.
Phone number (it should be a unique number in H.323 Gate Keeper)
H.323 Gate Keeper (GK) IP address and port number
DHCP enable
Save these parameters after making modifications in the browser. These pa-
rameters will be saved to flash and the H.323 phone will restart with the new
parameters. Now the H.323 phone will play a call progress tone and try to get
IP parameters from the DHCP server. If successful, the H.323 phone will try to
register with the H.323 Gate Keeper (GK). If the H.323 phone succeeds in the
previously mentioned operations, it will play a dial tone indicating that it is ready
for use. If either operation fails, it will play an error tone indicating that the H.323
phone is not functional.
D-Link H.323 phones can work without H.323 servers through the phone book.
For this mode, configure the phone book through the browser and the phones
will work with configurations in the phone book.
Note: Phone-book entries of all the phones in one network should be consistent.
