Use the PING test (System > Diagnostics >
Network > PING
) to determine whether the far site is
an H.323 device.
If it is not an H.323 device and you are sure the IP
address is correct it is likely that address is not on
your network. This is especially true with addresses
beginning with 10., 168.254, 172.16 through 172.31,
or 192.168, which are private networking addresses.

If you are unable to place
calls to known sites on your
network, a gatekeeper
might be blocking calls from
unregistered systems.

Register with the gatekeeper.
