b. If the Gatekeeper does not allow remote registration, you must contact the Gatekeeper
administrator (by phone or e-mail) and provide the IP Address (mandatory) to be registered
(entered manually) by the administrator at the Gatekeeper site. This process is called pre-
registering.
Note: The Gatekeeper administrator assigns the H323 ID. Together (you and the Gatekeeper
administrator) determine the Phone Number and H323ID entries.
For both 1) remote registration and 2) pre-registration, enter the unique phone number of the
local device in the Phone Number field (e.g. 101) and indicate in the Voice Channel field that
the device is connected to Channel 1.
The Description field is optional, but can be useful in associating the channel to the extension. If
you wish, enter a description of your local phone number. This description identifies the phone
number you entered in the previous step. For this example, you could enter a description such as
“New York Office 1”.
CAUTION: The default setting for the Port Number Gatekeeper is 1720. This can be changed to
a different value by the Gatekeeper administrator. If you decide to change the default Port
Number, you must use the same number on the Gatekeeper and all other H.323 endpoints.
Repeat this process for all H.323 endpoints in your network. Once all H.323 endpoints have been
entered, click OK on the Phone Directory Database dialog box and proceed to step 54.
