Configuring the System to Use a Gateway
A gateway performs code and protocol conversion between H.323 (IP), SIP,
and H.320 (ISDN), 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.
To configure the system to use a gateway:
1. Go to System > Admin Settings > Network > IP > H.323 Settings.
2. Select two or three times and configure these settings on the Gateway
screen:
