Using a gateway to call the IP VCR
If you are not using a gatekeeper with the IP VCR and MCU units, each unit needs another method to
identify how to find the other units.
f If you are simply calling a unit you can specify the IP address for that unit in the Host name or IP address
field when you call out
f However, if you want to connect to a specific conference on an MCU or play a recording on an IP VCR
without going via the auto attendant, then you need to set up a gateway on the unit that will call out
first. Each unit can have several gateways defined. Each gateway is not a connection itself but specifies a
connection between two specific destinations, whether local or remote.
As an example of setting up a gateway, in this section you set up a gateway on the IP VCR which is
configured to call the MCU and then use the gateway to add the IP VCR to a conference.
Creating a gateway on the IP VCR that directs calls to the MCU
1 On the IP VCR go to Gateways
2 Click Add new H.323 gateway
3 Type in a name for the gateway, e.g. Training MCU
4 Type in the IP address of the MCU. This can be found in the General page of the MCU’s Settings screen
