Managing gateways
Displaying the gateway list
You can configure the MCU to work with one or more H.323 gateways. The MCU can then effectively call
through these configured gateways to one or more endpoints which are registered with the gateway but would
not be reachable directly from the MCU.
through these configured gateways to one or more endpoints which are registered with the gateway but would
not be reachable directly from the MCU.
For example, an IP PBX could be configured as a gateway, and the MCU could then call its registered E.164

you specify. For more information about using the IP VCR in this way, refer to the IP VCR online help.
