Registering With A Gatekeeper Phone Directory - Multitech MultiVOIP 100 MVP110 User Manual

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.
30. Accept the default Port Number 1719.
CAUTION: The default setting for the Gatekeeper Port Number is 1719. This can be changed to
a different value by the Gatekeeper administrator. If you decide to change the default Port
Number, you must use the same number on the Gatekeeper and all other H.323 endpoints.
31. When you are finished with this dialog box, click Add to begin building your phone directory
database. The Add/Edit Phone Entry dialog box displays.
32. Enter the unique phone number of the local device in the Phone Number box.
