8.11.4 Gatekeeper Interfaces
Gatekeeper (GK) interfaces are channels to the world of Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP). If your IP-DECT system needs to communicate with other devices via VoIP, access to
these devices can be configured as a Gatekeeper interface.
Note: Normally the Master connects to a PBX via H.323/SIP endpoint registrations. In
that case, no configuration in this section is needed.
These can be different types of equipment:
• Remote PBX
• Ascom VoIP Gateways
• VoIP terminal equipment
• VoIP terminal adapters to connect analogue terminals or a IPBS
• Third-party VoIP Gateway, as a gateway to telephone switches or, for example, into the
SS7 network
• Further gatekeepers for call control
• VoIP PC programs
Each Gatekeeper interface defines access to a group of devices, which are all treated
similarly. This allows, for example, all VoIP devices at one location to be configured via a
single Gatekeeper interface. Since IP-DECT allows the definition of 12 different groups, it
is able to communicate in all with several hundred VoIP devices.
