H.323 Trunk Administration 2 H.323 Trunks
Administration for Network Connectivity

IP Media Parameters Each DEFINITY switch in an IP network has one IP Media Parameters screen. Use
this screen to enter:
~ the types of codecs (for audio processing) available on this switch
~ the preferred order of use of the codec types
~ the range of port numbers available for audio connections
Network Regions The Region field on the IP Interfaces screen allows you to set up segregated groups of
C-LAN and IP Interface (Medpro) resources. This feature can be used in a variety of
ways. For example, you could use regions to allocate specific C-LAN and IP Interface
boards to H.323 trunks and others to stations; or you could use regions to avoid
multimedia traffic over low bandwidth or high-latency network links.
H.323 Trunk Administration — Task Detail
This section describes the tasks that need to be completed to administer an H.323 trunk. Sample values are used
to populate the fields to show the relationships between the screens and fields.
Task 1 — Assign Node Names
This task assigns node names and IP addresses to each node in the network that this
switch communicates with via IP connections. A Node Names screen must be
administered on each DEFINITY switch in an IP network.
A node is defined as any of the following — a C-LAN ethernet or ppp port, a bridge
or router, a CMS ethernet port, or an Intuity AUDIX or other MSA network interface
card. The AUDIX and MSA node name and IP address must be entered on page 1 of
the screen. The data for all other node types must be entered on pages 2–6.
For H.323 connections, each MedPro ethernet port (IP interface) on the local switch
only must also be assigned a node name and IP address on this form.
The node names and IP addresses in any network should be assigned in a logical and
consistent manner from the point of view of the whole network. These names and
addresses should be assigned in the planning stages of the network and should be
available from the customer system administrator or from a Lucent representative.
Note: Enter node names for Intuity AUDIX and MSA adjuncts on page 1. Enter
node names for switches, routers, and CMS starting on page 2.
