To configure the system to use a gatekeeper:

2. Select and configure these settings on the Gatekeeper screen:
3. If you chose to specify a gatekeeper, select to specify Alternate

Setting Description
Use Gatekeeper Specifies whether to use a gatekeeper. Gateways and
gatekeepers are required for calls between IP and ISDN.
• Off — Calls do not use a gatekeeper.
•Auto — System attempts to automatically find an
available gatekeeper.
• Specify — Calls use the specified gatekeeper. Enter the
gatekeeper’s IP address or name (for example,
gatekeeper.companyname.usa.com, or 10.11.12.13).
H.323 Name Specifies the name that gatekeepers use to identify this
system. You can make point-to-point calls using H.323
names if both systems are registered to a gatekeeper.
The H.323 Name is the same as the System Name, unless
you change it. Your organization’s dial plan may define the
names you can use.
H.323 Extension
(E.164)
Lets users place point-to-point calls using the extension if
both systems are registered with a gatekeeper, and specifies
the extension that gatekeepers and gateways use to identify
this system.
The default H.323 Extension is based on the system serial
number, but it can be changed. Your organization’s dial plan
may define the extensions you can use.
Gatekeeper IP
Address
If you chose to use an automatically selected gatekeeper,
this area displays the gatekeeper’s IP address.
If you chose to specify a gatekeeper, enter the IP address.
Use
PathNavigator for
Multipoint Calls
Lets you specify whether multipoint calls use the system’s
internal multipoint capability or the Polycom PathNavigator™
Conference on Demand feature. This feature is available only
if the system is registered with a PathNavigator gatekeeper.
