[iptuser55]

i`m trying to build a lab, Do you need any DSP`s for a Gatekeeper ?

NO you do not need any DSPs for GK

If you're building a lab you may want to co-reside the gateway and the gatekeeper.

It makes looking at debugs a little tougher, but it's still possible.

The only devices that need DSPs are:

-Things that you want to register to CUCM/CME with transcoders or conference bridges (MTPs can be done in software)

-Things with PRI/FXO/CAS/other analog ports

GK just proxies the H323 requests, and never touches the media.

Many thanks, I thought that was the answer I was trying to sort out where to place my limited number of DSP`s
