Hi Jaap,
I'm sorry i didn't give the whole picture. The call is first converted
from H323 to SIP, then back to H323. I'm tracing the H323 messages after
the conversion from SIP, and the flags are set the same as in the
original H323 setup message. For example, if i have the flags set as
"International/ISDN" in the original Q.931 header, after the conversion
to SIP and back to H323, these flags do not change. Let me clarify that
this is exactly the way i want it to behave, i'm just curious as to
why/how it does this. Another point of interest is the topology. The
call enters an endpoint (the h323 part). That endpoint talks via SIP
with an MSC controller (which handles the routing/billing procedures),
and that MSC controller talks with the terminating endpoint (via SIP),
which in turn sends the call to its destination by H323. Something like
this:
caller - h323 - endpointA - sip - MSC - sip - endpointB - h323 - destination
Thanks
Michalis

Hi,
Called party number usually translates into the INVITE URI. The number plan
and type are not converted, maybe only used to verify that a URI can be
composed of the called party number information, or, if it's an advanced
gateway, could select the URI format based on the plan and type, but I've
never seen that.
Thanx,
Jaap
