POTS Adapters

You can purchase circuit boards that plug into a personal computer and 
adapt an analog telephone (POTS) for use with an H.323 connection.

H.323 Gatekeepers

The gatekeeper is an H.323 entity on the network that provides address 
translation and controls access to the network for H.323 terminals, 
Gateways, and MCUs. The gatekeeper also provides services to the 
terminals, Gateways, and MCUs, such as managing bandwidth and 
locating Gateways.

The H.323 
Connection

H.323 calls between local and remote 3Com Business and Basic 
Telephones are transparent to users, except for the IP dial plan. The Call 
Processor sets up the local end of the H.323 call as though it were setting 
up a call through a line card. However, this connection actually goes to a 
network interface card (NIC) in a dedicated Windows 2000 system that is 
running the ConneXtions software.

The Call Processor requests an H.323 port in the ConneXtions software 
by sending a frame, with a simulated Ethernet address, that contains a 
requested IP address. The ConneXtions gateway uses this address to 
request a level three connection between the local router and the remote 
router associated with another PBX or NBX system. 

After an IP connection has been established, the ConneXtions software 
begins a series of H.323 exchanges by using TCP packets on the IP 
connection.

These H.323 exchanges set up the call and negotiate the type of voice 
compression that is used. They also cause the remote NBX (or PBX) 
system to begin setting up the remote end of the connection.

Connection 
Considerations

As soon as an end-to-end connection has been set up, all three networks 
(local LAN, WAN, and remote LAN) are ready to pass voice packets. The 
3Com Business and Basic Telephones use their DSP to convert spoken 
words into digital voice packets. The voice packets are transferred across 
the Ethernet to the local H.323 gateway. The gateway strips off the 
Ethernet frames, compresses the voice, and encapsulates it within UDP 
packets which are delivered to the router, again via the Ethernet. The UDP 
packets are placed on the WAN for IP delivery to a remote H.323
