configured to dial and receive calls to and from H.323 endpoints using the IP address
in the event that the Gatekeeper is not functioning.
Alias Name/Type

If you are using the endpoint’s alias and not the IP address, first select the type of
alias and then enter the endpoint’s alias:
H.323 ID (alphanumeric ID)
E.164 (digits 0-9, * and #)
Email ID (email address format, e.g. abc@example.com)
Participant Number (digits 0-9, * and #)
Notes:
Although all types are supported, the type of alias is dependent on the gatekeeper’s
capabilities. The most commonly supported alias types are H.323 ID and E.164.
This field is used to enter the Entry Queue ID, target Conference ID and
Conference Password when defining a cascaded lin.
Use of the E.164 Number is dependent on the setting of the
REMOVE_IP_IF_NUMBER_EXISTS System Flag. For more information see
