Specifying H.323 Settings

By default, LifeSize Passport supports the H.323 protocol for placing and receiving video
and voice calls. You can disable support for H.323 calls by selecting Disabled for the H.323
preference in Administrator Preferences : Communications : H.323 when the system is
not in a call. If you choose Disabled for the H.323 preference, the system cannot place or
receive calls with the H.323 protocol.
Note: If both H.323 and SIP preferences are set to Disabled, a warning message appears
and indicates that video calls cannot be placed or received with this configuration.
When H.323 is enabled, you can specify an H.323 name or extension to use when placing a
call. The H.323 name and extension identify the device to the gatekeeper. Any registered
device can dial another using this name and extension. The H.323 Name preference is an
optional value that is used when a gatekeeper is configured and requires the system to
register with an H.323 ID. If the gatekeeper administrator assigns an H.323 ID for the
system, enter that ID for the H.323 Name preference. The H.323 Extension preference is
an optional value that is used when a gatekeeper is configured and requires the system to
register with an E164 number or extension. If the gatekeeper administrator assigns an E164
number or extension for the system, enter that number for the H.323 Extension preference.
Set the Gatekeeper ID only if the gatekeeper requires it (for example, configurations with
multiple gatekeepers). The Gatekeeper ID must match the gatekeeper ID configured for the
gatekeeper to which the system is registering. Do not configure this preference if the
gatekeeper does not require it, as this may result in failure to register with the gatekeeper.
