Method of establishing communication exchange between a terminal of a packet-based network and a terminal connected to a remote access server
First Claim
1. A method for enabling a first terminal of a packet-based network to communicate with a second terminal accessible by a remote access server, comprising the steps of:
- (a) registering the aliases and IP addresses of said first terminal and said remote access server in a gatekeeper connected to said packet-based network;
(b) transmitting from said first terminal to said gatekeeper a message for requesting a connection with said second terminal;
(c) causing said gatekeeper to request said remote access server to connect with said second terminal even when said second terminal is not registered in said gate keeper;
(d) when the remote access server point-to-point connects, and assigns an IP address, to said second terminal by calling said second terminal over a circuit network, causing said second terminal to register the alias and the IP address of said second terminal in said gatekeeper; and
, (e) establishing communication between said first terminal and said second terminal via said gatekeeper.

Abstract
A method for enabling a first terminal of a packet-based network to communicate with a second terminal connected to a remote access server includes the steps of: registering the aliases and IP addresses of the first terminal and the remote access server in the gatekeeper; letting the first terminal to send a message to the gatekeeper for requesting a connection with the second terminal; causing the gatekeeper to request the remote access server to connect with the second terminal even when the second terminal is not registered with the gatekeeper; causing the remote access server to request the second terminal to register its alias and IP address in the gatekeeper; and, establishing communication between the first and second terminals through the gatekeeper.

6. A method for establishing communication between a first terminal connected to a packet-based network and a second terminal connected to a remote access server, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) establishing communication between said first terminal and said remote access server via a gatekeeper connected to the packet-based network;
(b) transmitting from said first terminal to said gatekeeper a message for requesting a connection with said second terminal even when said second terminal is not registered in said gatekeeper;
(c) requesting said remote access server by said gatekeeper to connect with said second terminal, the request including an acknowledgment of the availability of resources for communication between said remote access server and said second terminal over a circuit network;
(d) when said remote access server point-to-point connects, and assigns an IP address, to said second terminal by calling said second terminal over said circuit network, registering the IP address of said second terminal in said gatekeeper; and
(e) establishing over the connection by said remote access server communication between said first terminal and said second terminal via said gatekeeper. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
