are directed to the Attendant Console. See
in Chapter 9.
Incoming H.323 calls can be routed directly to some other extension or to
a phantom mailbox. Sales people often have phantom mailboxes because
they are never in the office. Calls to their extension go directly to their
voice mailbox. Note that phantom mailbox extensions cannot be used to
forward calls.
Setting Up an H.323 Port Route
After you install an H.323 line port, you need to configure it.
To configure a H.323 line port:
1 Click PSTN Gateway Configuration.
2 Click Analog Line Cards.
3 Select an H.323 port. This port has the default setting from the Auto
Discovery installation process.
4 Click Modify.
5 In the AutoExt field, enter the required extension number.
CAUTION: Do not route an H.323 port directly to another line port.
Routing an H.323 call to a PSTN line, from the Internet, is dangerous
because it would allow anyone to make long distance toll calls through
the Call Processor — with no accountability.
6 Click OK.
You can include gateway port connections in local conference calls along
with PSTN line connections. However, ConneXtions does not support
conferences at the H.323 level, so, if two or more of the conferring
parties are at a remote system, each requires a separate port connection.
This characteristic determines who can initiate the conference call.
A four-way conference call with three people at one site and one person
at the other site uses one H.323 port if it is set up from the side with
three people. Otherwise, it needs three ports.
Here are some useful sources of information about the H.323 standard:
