Does anyone know of a way to work around the fact that the cisco ata
products require an e.164 address in the call setup?

I an trying to use one with an h.323 gatekeeper that does not send the
e.164 address when setting up the call. obviously running h.323 image
on the ata.

I realize that this functionality is required to access the two ports,
but I am just trying to use it as a single port device, and I can not
modify the functionality of the gatekeeper.

The current results are that the ata can place calls via tha
gatekeeper, but ignores all call set up requests from the gatekeeper
for incoming calls becasue of the lack of an e.164 address in the call
setup message.

AFAIR this functionality (accept any alias as port1-assigned) is not
possible for ATA.
To avoid such kind of problems i forced my SmartGate softswitch to
replace called alias in outgoing Setup with port-attached for every call
routed to ATA. If your gatekeeper supports number translations at all,
it SHALL to be able to do this. As i can route calls for per-port
basics, i can do this for both ports in independent manner. But if you
use ATA as single port, you don't need this.
