Re: Does H460.18 / 19 support in GnuGK 2.3 meanthat Tandberg VCS Expressway is no longer required?

Hi Robert,
 
The Tandberg VCS Control or Tandberg GK which have an inbuilt H.460 client should be able to register with GnuGK's H.460 server as it's all standards based.  Inbound is taken care of in H.460, as the client sends keepalives to the server ensuring an inbound call alerts on the client if that's how you choose to route the call.

I'm now in the "trying to get it to work" phase.  I have a GnuGK
running on a Windows 2003 server.  I've got two internal clients that
can now register to the GK, and they can dial each other using their
6-digit "telephone numbers".

I've looked through the docs, and the examples on the website, but I
guess I'm missing something.

I've got two Polycom HDX 4000's with the H460.18 enabled.

The W2K3 server is firewalled, but not NATted.

My gatekeeper.ini is this:
[Gatekeeper::Main]
Fortytwo=42
[GkStatus::Auth]
rule=allow
[RoutedMode]
GKRouted=1
EnableH46018=1

[Proxy]
Enable=1
InternalNetwork=10.244.0.0/16
RTPPortRange=50000-59999


Which I'm not sure is enough.  I've been trying to use the Polycom
test IP numbers they have on their website, but I'm not getting
through, but I'm not sure if it's my side, or theirs.  Are there other
test IP numbers out there that I can try?

What else have I gotten wrong in my .ini file?

Thanks.
