Configuring Gatekeeper Settings
You can configure the ISDN gateway to use a gatekeeper, which can make it easier for end-users to join conferences
using directory numbers rather than requiring them to know the IP address or host name of the ISDN gateway.
To configure gatekeeper settings, go to Home > Settings > Gatekeeper.
● Gatekeeper Settings
● Gatekeeper Status

Refer to this table for assistance configuring the gatekeeper settings. After making any configuration changes, click
Apply Changes.
Field Field Description Usage Tips
H.323
gatekeeper
usage
Enables the ISDN gateway to use an H.323
gatekeeper for registration of numeric identifiers
for its conferences.
Choose from:
● Disabled: the gatekeeper is not
consulted when determining where to
direct a call. No gatekeeper
registrations will be attempted (and
existing registrations will be torn
down), regardless of other gatekeeper
or per-conference settings.
● Enabled: the gatekeeper is consulted
to see if it knows where to direct a
call. The ISDN gateway will attempt to
make registrations with the
gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper will be
contacted for incoming and outgoing
calls. If the gatekeeper does not
respond, calls are still connected if
possible.
● Required: the gatekeeper is consulted
to determine where to direct a call. If
that fails, the call will not be allowed.
H.323
gatekeeper
address
Identifies the network address of the gatekeeper
to which ISDN gateway registrations should be
made.
This can be specified either as a host name or as
an IP address.
This field will have no effect if H.323 Gatekeeper
usage (see above) is set to Disabled.
Ethernet port
association
Whether a call involves consultation with the
configured gatekeeper also depends on the Port
A and Port B settings. If you intend for the
gatekeeper to be used, the port over which that
connection will be made, must be selected here.
For all incoming calls, and outgoing calls dialed
by address rather than by E.164 phone number,
the gatekeeper will only be used to validate the
connection if the network port over which the
connection is made is selected here.
NOTE: Port B cannot be enabled on the
Codian ISDN gateway
H.323 ID
Specify an identifier that the ISDN gateway uses
to register itself with the gatekeeper. You can
specify a name or number.
If you are using a gatekeeper, you must enter a
registration ID. Before the ISDN gateway can
register any conferences with the H.323
gatekeeper, it must make a unit-wide
registration.
