Gateway Configuration
Planning the Gateway Configuration
Before you configure the gateway, you need to:
• Ensure that appropriate Network Cards are installed and configured. For
more information see “Managing the Functional Module Cards
(MGC-50/MGC-100/MGC+50/MGC+100)” on page 4-2.
• Configure the Network Services according to the type of Functional
Modules installed on the system. Configure the Dial-in numbers range in
the ISDN Network allocated to the gateways sessions. These numbers
must be different from the dial-in numbers allocated to multipoint
conferencing (in the Network Service the defined dial-in gateway ranges
appear in the Routing Services). For more information see “Defining
Network Services” on page 3-1.
•
For H.323 services define the gateway prefix. For more information see
“Defining Network Services” on page 3-1.
• Select the appropriate Routing Method(s) - depending on your system
configuration and the number of dial-in numbers that can be allocated to
the gateway sessions, select Destinations, Address Book or Forwarding
Service.
Configuration Outline
The gateway configuration flow consists of the following stages:
1. To support H.239 in gateway calls, enable the appropriate flag in the
system.cfg.
2. If required, change the General Delimiter definitions.
3. Define the dial-in numbers range allocated to the gateway in the ISDN
network Service.
4. Define the Gatekeeper and Network Service prefix (Gateway) in the
H.323 Network Service.
5. Defining Session Profiles: To H.323 Session Profiles and To H.320
Session Profiles for both ISDN and IP endpoints.
