Registering the Scopia XT Endpoint for IP Office with a Gatekeeper
About this task
This is typically not relevant for IP Office deployments. Configure only if you are using a gatekeeper in
your deployment.
Gatekeepers enable you to contact H.323 endpoints by entering an alias, rather than having to
remember each endpoint’s IP address. For example, you can dial “1234” or “joesmith” and the
gatekeeper routes the call correctly.
To do this, the gatekeeper must register all endpoints to maintain the mapping list of aliases and
endpoints to successfully route calls. It also registers gateways to ensure that a call can be routed to a
non-H.323 entity, since gateways form the bridge from H.323 to other protocols, such as ISDN.
When registering with a gatekeeper like Scopia ECS Gatekeeper, the endpoint sends its IP and aliases.
Registration occurs before any calls are attempted and may occur periodically, or once, such as during
endpoint power-up.
Before you begin
If configuring from the endpoint, you must first enable advanced configuration, as described in
Maintaining the XT Endpoint Locally from the Endpoint on page 66.
Procedure
1. Access the gatekeeper settings as follows:
•
From the XT Endpoint web interface, select Administrator Settings > Protocols >
H.323 > General.
•
From the endpoint's main menu, select Configure > Advanced > Protocols > H.323 >
General.
