Gateway Service
These services are provided by a gateway to endpoints. For example, gateways
usually have distinct services for each speed they support (128 Kbps, 384 Kbps,
512 Kbps, and so on) and a service for audio-only calls.
Gateway services tell the CMA system how to route the call during conversion
between IP and ISDN.
You must define a gateway service for each bit rate available. These services
should appear automatically in the list when the gateway registers with the
CMA system. If gateway services do not appear, you can enter them manually.
If the List of Services page does not include gateway services, alternate
routing and least-cost routing are disabled. For details, see the following table.

Note
Gateway and MCU services must be defined in both the CMA system and the MCU
platform. They must be defined exactly the same in both locations. If you enter this
information manually, be sure to type it exactly as it is entered in the MGC or RMX
system.
You can simplify entry of services by making sure that the MCUs and gateways on
your video conferencing network are set to register with the gatekeeper in the CMA
system. This setting assures the information appears automatically in the List of
Services page.
