Configuring basic H.323 gateway functions
Configuration prerequisites
Complete the required configuration of POTS and VoIP voice entities.
Configuration guidelines
• The gatekeeper identifies the type of a gateway by its area ID. The gatekeeper and gateways reach
an agreement on related gateway types in advance. For example, Area ID 1# represents a voice
gateway, and Area ID 2# represents a video gateway. Before a VoIP entity communicates with the
gatekeeper, the gatekeeper judges the gateway type by the received area ID. At most 30 area IDs
can be configured in GK-Client view.
• Before you can configure a secondary gatekeeper, configure a primary gatekeeper with the gk-id
command.
• Use the ras-on command to register with the gatekeeper only after you complete all required basic
voice gateway configurations.
