CCM and H.323 Gateways

[mmelbourne]

It appears that a router configured with basic voice ports and dial-peers is termed an "H.323 Gateway", as defined in CallManager. How does this differ to an H.323 Gateway router explicitly configured with 'Gateway' and 'h323-interface voip" commands?

Does a basic voice port/dial-peer router exchange H.323-style call-setup messages when communicating with CCM (and other VoIP routers which may be contacted to establish call legs)?

According to cisco the H.323 signalling feature is dependant on Cisco h.323 gateways, gatekeepers and VoIP routers. See this document:

Hi - in short, yes. H.323 is the signalling used for this setup.
