About Dialing Out to the ISDN Network Through the Gateway

When you dial out from an IP network to an ISDN network, you dial a service prefix followed by a string
that usually includes the destination area code, the destination phone number and any required extra
characters such as an asterisk (*), pound sign (#), or delimiter. The service prefix indicates that the call
is to go through the gateway, and also indicates the properties of the call such as the call type, or
bandwidth requirements.

About Gateway Services

Cisco IPVC 3500 Series Gateway services define different call types and bandwidths for IP network
endpoints. The services are identified by service prefixes. The network administrator in charge of the
H.323 network is responsible for defining services and informing users of available services. See the

A service prefix should not be the same as the first digits of an IP endpoint phone number.
