you use the same port number. The Gatekeeper administrator will then enter your information into
the Gatekeeper data base. This concludes the preregisteration.
You can enter your alias address information into the Add/Edit Phone Entry dialog box. For
example, if you were setting up the corporate MultiVOIP, you could enter the following information
for the Voice/Fax Channel: Channel 1 of the corporate MultiVOIP uses extension 101. The
Description is optional, but it may be helpful if it is assigned to an individual or department.
The H323 ID assigned to this phone number identifies the office using this extension. The IP
Address of the Corporate MultiVOIP is 201.022.122.118. The default port number 1720 is used.
Once the MultiVOIP goes online, the Gatekeeper registers it with the above H.323 ID. No other
H323 endpoint can use this H.323 ID. This is like your own telephone number.
After you have entered the information in the Add/Edit Phone Entry dialog box and clicked OK,
the new phone number is added to the Phone Directory Database.
Proprietary Phone Book
If you choose the Proprietary Phone Book option in the Phone Directory Database dialog box
instead of the Gatekeeper option, the Database Type group becomes active and the RAS
Parameters group becomes inactive.
When you elect to use the Proprietary Phone Book, you set up a master-slave relationship. This
relationship allows one MultiVOIP to maintain the Phone Directory Database and publish this data
base to all MultiVOIP participants in the network. This proprietary database allows you to see all
the participants in your network and provides you with their phone numbers.
To set up a database so that the corporate MultiVOIP can call the remote branch office and the
remote branch office can call the corporate MultiVOIP, the Phone Directory Database will have
one entry for the corporate office and one entry for the Remote Branch Office. Extension 101 at
the corporate office is tied to voice channel 1. The Description again is optional. The Hunt Group
in this example is set for No Hunt. However, if you want to activate a Hunt Group (if an extension
on the MultiVOIP is busy and you wanted to look for another extension), you can assign a hunt
group to those extensions. In other words, if extension 101 is busy, the corporate MultiVOIP
would roll over to extension 102, if you have multiple voice channels.
