prefixes to route calls to specific endpoints. When Gatekeepers perform this directive function, they do so by
using “services,” which one configures in the
Gatekeeper | Services
screen.
Suppose a voip system consists of three endpoints in three different cities all having different area codes. If this
voip system were controlled only by phonebooks, three different destination patterns (at least) would be needed; if
controlled by a Gatekeeper, three different services (at least) would be needed.
Also, generally, it’s best to configure the Gatekeeper as fully as possible before configuring other gateways in the
system. This is so because certain parameters that describe the Gatekeeper unit must be entered in the
configuration screens of the ordinary voip gateway units.
Furthermore and very importantly, several settings needed in the
Gatekeeper | Existing Endpoints
screen and in
the
Gatekeeper | Services
screen must also be set in the Phonebook Configuration screen.
