Asterisk + H323?

I have a few QTelNet phones (http://www.qtelnet.com/products-IP-2302.htm) I’d like to interface with Asterisk. I see there is a h323.conf file. So what is this built in h323 for? I guess I need pointed in the right direction. Do I need a gatekeeper? I have a Digium card and several SIP phones working flawlessly with Asterisk so far… I’ve read the H323 docs on voip-info but I’m still not sure where I need to go from here. Maybe these phone can only work with other QTelNet hardware?

Here is what the phone is trying to do. I get a ring but no voice.

LC Request?

Well incoming calls work. Outgoing I still get this LC Request error which is kind of a dead end. Any info appreciated.

IS h.323 compiled with your asterisk?

Try this post, I think it will help you. You do not need a gatekeeper if you don’t want to.
