Mode.
Enables the Entrypoint to register with a
gatekeeper or leave it unregistered, i.e. in direct
mode. Make sure that
System Name
is always
set in direct mode. When registered with a
gatekeeper, the H.323 Status shows
Registered
,
the gatekeeper’s IP address and the Port used.
When the registration fails, the
Registration
status
will be rejected. Three cases can be distinguished:
Gatekeeper unreachable
•
; the Entrypoint’s H.323
stack returns this reject message in case the
gatekeeper is down.
Duplicate alias
•
; a system with an identical name
has already been registered.
Authentication failure
•
; Authentication ID and/or
Authentication Password are incorrect.
Selecting direct mode will result in no gatekeeper
registration; hence it is not possible to dial through
the Entrypoint via alias names. The H.323 Status
shows
Inactive
.
Dialling out from IP to
IP or ISDN, through
the Entrypoint,
requires the use of H.323
numbers (E.164 aliases and
service prefixes). This means
that the Entrypoint must be
registered to a gatekeeper;
select the
H.323
menu item
in the
Configuration
menu.
H.323 Configuration
If the Gatekeeper is configured with an
alternative Gatekeeper, the Status area
may report a registration to the IP address
of the alternative Gatekeeper.
In case password is not
set/configured/inserted,
the Entrypoint will still
use the Authentication ID to
register with the gatekeeper.
However, when the Authentica-
tion ID is left “unused”, the
System Name field. will be used
to register the Entrypoint with
the gatekeeper instead. In case
both the Authentication ID field
and the System Name field
are “unused” the Entrypoint
can not be registered with the
gatekeeper.
When registered with
a gatekeeper, the
H.323 Status shows
Registered, the gatekeeper’s
IP address and the Port used
(see also
).
IP Address.
Enter the Gatekeeper IP address that
the Entrypoint should register to. Leaving this
empty will result in direct dialling without the use
of aliases.

authentication, an NTP server has to be configured.
