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, you will 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 field of the RAS Parameters group.
30. Accept the default Port Number 1719.
