The main thing that needs to be configured is the IP settings of the Gatekeeper. This includes the IP address, the IP subnet mask, and the IP gateway. The Gatekeeper has to be configured with a static IP address. Consult your network administrator for information on which addresses to use. To set the initial c

This allows the pool of registrations to be treated as if they were registered with a single Gatekeeper. The Alternate Gatekeepers can be configured within the web interface of the Gatekeeper by navigating to Gatekeeper Configuration > Gatekeeper. Up to five different alternates can be configured. Pl

3.5 Call Control When an end-point wants to call another endpoint it presents the address it wants to call to the Gatekeeper using a protocol knows as RAS. The Gatekeeper tries to resolve this address and supplies the calling endpoint with information about the called endpoint. The destination address can take several forms: IP address, H.323 ID, E.164 alias or a full H.323 URI. Dialing by IP address is necessary when the destination endpoint is not registered with a Gatekeeper or Border
