Gatekeeper is an administrational tool for H.232 multimedia networks. A single unit can control interactions for each zone, which comprises the terminals, MCU's and gateway within the frames of a particular domain. Gatekeeper is an optional element, but when it available, it becomes the central administrative entity.
Citel PBXgateways are installed at the central PBX location, and EXTenders are deployed at branch offices, call centers, or at home offices over managed IP connections, DSL, cable, or analog circuits
