H323:

====
H.225 -->handles call setup and teardown and q.931 operations.
H.225 RAS(Register admission status)--->Handles the gatekeeper
H.245 Feature negotiation(codec negotiation)
H.261/H.263 --Video conferencing
H.450--Supplementary services (Hold etc)
H323 Fast start(default)-->combining the H.225 and H.245 signalling in a single
message.
T.120-->Data Transfer
Why would we use H323?
1)Widely supported and interoperated(h323 is the default protocol for Cisco)
2)It supports Fractional PRI
3)You want caller-id support on FXO or T1 CAS-->H323 Supports whereas MGCP doest
not support.
Explanation: you are getting an incoming call from PSTN through FXO port on MGCP
gateway and MGCP Gateway is connected to call manager. The caller id informatio
n you will not get when using the MGCP.
4)PRI Call preservation:
suppose the call agent (CUCM goes down) then h323 doest not drop call, in case o
f MGCP also call will not drop. For MGCP pri backhaul the calls are dropped.
5)Many call routing and manipulation options
6)supports NFAS(Non facility associated signalling): one siganalling for multipl
e PRI lines--Result u will have more channels.
7)H.323 gatekeeper support-->Call admission control

H.323 configuration
===================
enable the H.323 service
---------------------------------------

conf t
voice service voip
h323
no shutdown
verify gateway status
-------------------------------show gateway
H323 Gateway Addition in call Manager:
-------------------------------------H323 and SIP gatewaty never registers with the gateway.
Call Manager shows the status of them as Unknown.
Cisco CM Administration----->device menu--->Gateway--->Add new-->H323 gateway-->
device name==>ip-address.
In the Main menu Call routing--->Route Hunt---> Route pattern-->Add new-->
Route Pattern ==>5001
gateway/Route list ==Ip-address of h323 gateway.
Configuration of H323 Gateway to communicate with call Manager:
