Thanks for the information Ian – but how do I control what gets populated in H.225 destinationAddress when responding to a RouteRequest message? Or is it a gatekeeper.ini setting?

There are something like 4 different data elements that can be populated in H.225 destinationAddress: dialedDigits, ipAddress, h323uri, h323aliasId...
If you only specify an H.225 destinationAddress that is the ipAddress of the phone, it accepts the call.
If you happen to populate the dialedDigits, or h323aliasId, it had better be the 10 digit phone number of the VP200, or the VP200 will reject it immediately with a releaseComplete.
If you populate the h323uri, I'm not sure what the VP200 would do, probably the same thing.
Sorenson's videophone firmware is very quirky.
First off, however, I'd follow Jan and Simon's suggestion and stop using Ekiga. It is useless.

That does actually seem like what it is doing… but then, how is Ekiga connecting? The only information I am giving Ekiga is the IP address of the Sorenson VP. Perhaps the Sorenson VP will also accept the public IP address that it is sitting on, as the H.225 destinationAddress?
I will try it out… but my question now is how do I get GnuGK to send the correct H.225 destinationAddress in the setup message? Is this the “alias” parameter in the RouteToGatekeeper respons? Or?
Thanks for all your help guys!

The Sorenson VP200 will reject a call to any phone number that it does not know itself as. By default, a VP200 knows itself as 2 different phone numbers: a "Local Number" and a "Direct VP" tollfree number.
Simply put, make sure the H.225 destinationAddress in the SETUP message is a phone number the VP200 knows itself as.

Yes, the endpoints are able to talk to each other without a gatekeeper in
between. In other words, if I have Ekiga dial the Sorenson's IP address
directly, the Sorenson rings, and when I answer the call the video and audio
connections are established and works. If I have Ekiga dial the
gatekeeper's IP address and it is routed to the Sorenson, what you see in
the log I uploaded is what we get... :-(
Any ideas? Will it help you if I upload my latest gatekeeper ini file?

Subject: Re: Why is the videophone endpoint not accepting
this call?Hi,
your RouteToGateway is ok, using the syntax with a callid would be
better, but thats not the issue here. The called device answers with an
Alerting and then a ReleaseComplete, actively rejecting the call.
Are the endpoints able to talk to each other without a gatekeeper in
between ?
Regards,
Jan
