You may found a lot of complementary information with respect to the H.248 Control Association in:

H.Sup7 : Gateway control protocol: Establishment procedures for the H.248 MGC-MG control association
http://www.itu.int/rec/dologin_pub.asp?lang=e&id=T-REC-H.Sup7-200805-I!!PDF-E&type=items

see e.g. § 5.2 Constitution of a control association
