Configuring a Direct Routing Gatekeeper
This section describes how to configure a direct routing gatekeepers such as SE200,
PathNavigator and Polycom CMA.
Prerequisites
Before configuring a direct routing gatekeeper, keep in mind the following information/
recommendations:
● Communication Manager to direct gatekeeper calls should use an “outbound” route
pattern, ISDN tie trunk group, and H.323 LRQ signaling group.
● Direct gatekeeper to Communication Manager calls should use a second “incoming” ISDN
tie trunk group and either a single “incoming” H.323 signaling group with far-end
unspecified or many “incoming-per-ept” H.323 signaling groups.
● Dial plan analysis, UDP, and AAR analysis should route the direct gatekeeper extension
range to the “outbound” trunk group.
● Direct gatekeeper inter-gatekeeper LRQ administration for extensions managed by
Communication Manager.
Checklist

● the IP codec sets you want to use
● the IP network regions you want use
● the IP address of the IP board for the gatekeeper
