Chapter 3 - Configuring Network Use
© Polycom, Inc. 3-9
Specifying H.323 Settings
If your network uses a gatekeeper, the system can automatically register its H.323
name and extension. This allows others to call the system by entering the H.323
name or extension instead of the IP address.
To specify H.323 Settings:
1. Go to System Info > Admin Setup > LAN/H.323 > H.323 > Setup.
2. Configure these settings:
Setting Description
H.323 name when
calling this system
Specifies the name that gatekeepers and gateways 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. Each system’s name must be unique.
The system restarts if you change this setting.
H.323 Extension
(E.164)
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. Each system’s extension must
be unique.
The system restarts if you change this setting.
Auto H.323 Dialing Lets the system automatically detect the call type based on the
format of the dialing information you enter. The ISDN and IP fields
are not displayed on the Video Phone screen.
Display IP Dialing
Extension
Adds a field to the Video Phone screen so you can enter the H.323
extension separately from the gateway ID.
If you choose not to add a field for the extension, users can either
append the extension to the gateway number or use the Tone Pad
to enter the extension when the gateway requests it.
