Description The area-id is mainly used to facilitate the identifying of gateway type by the GK
Server. The gateway and the GK Server reach an agreement on the gateway type in
advance, for example, consider that the area-id 1# represents the voice gateway and
that the area-id 2# represents the video gateway, etc. When the gateway
communicates normally with the GK Server, the GK will judge the gateway type
according to the area-id information sent by the gateway.
To set the H.323 area ID in the Voice GK client voice is mainly to facilitate the GK
Server to identify the types of GK client. An agreement on the related types is reached
beforehand between the GK client and the GK Server, e.g. area ID 1# represents a
voice GK client, prefix 2# represents a video GK client, etc. When a normal
communication is going on between the GK client and the GK Server, the GK judges
the client type according to the area ID information received. Up to 30 area-ides can
be configured in voice GK client view.
