Chapter 3 - Configuring Network Use

© Polycom, Inc.

3-11

A gateway performs protocol conversion between IP and ISDN networks, so that 
users on different networks can call one another. If the system is configured to use 
a gateway, you must also configure it to use a gatekeeper.

Go to System Info > Admin Setup > LAN/H.323 > H.323 > Gateway.

Configure these settings:

Use Gatekeeper

Specifies whether to use a gatekeeper. Gateways and 
gatekeepers are required for calls between IP and ISDN networks.

Off — Calls do not use a gatekeeper. 

Specify — Calls use the specified gatekeeper. Enter the 
gatekeeper’s IP address or name (for example, 

gatekeeper.companyname.usa.com

, or 

255.255.255.255

). 

Auto — System automatically finds an available gatekeeper.

The system restarts if you change this setting.

Gatekeeper IP 
Address

Displays the gatekeeper’s IP address. If you chose to specify a 
gatekeeper, enter the IP address here.

The system restarts if you change this setting.

Outbound Call 
Route

For systems using a gatekeeper, specifies whether calls initiated 
by this system should be handled as IP calls sent through a 
gateway or as ISDN.

Dial Multipoint Calls 
from PathNavigator

Lets you specify whether multipoint calls use the system’s internal 
multipoint capability or the PathNavigator Conference on Demand 
feature. This feature is available only if the system is:

Configured for multipoint calling.

Registered with a PathNavigator gatekeeper.

Gateway Number 
Type

Specifies the number type users enter to call this system:

Direct Inward Dial (DID) — Users enter an internal extension 
to call this system directly.

Note: If you choose this option, you must also register the 
number with the gatekeeper as an E.164 alias.

Number + Extension — Users enter the gateway number and 
the system’s extension to call this system.

Country Code

Specifies the country code for the system’s location.
