The main function of H.323 is to perform call control and management functions on a packet-switched network - it's really a session layer protocol. It's most often used (along with some other protocols) to provide VoIP services.
A router with H.323 configured will most often be acting as a "gateway". For instance, a router that has a connection to, and can translate communications to/from, a non-H.323 device. Typically a connection to a PBX, or to the PSTN.
Or it could be acting as a "gatekeeper". Gatekeepers are normally used for larger scale VoIP deployments and registers H.323 devices and gateways and helps to perform call setup and other functions.
Gateways and Gatekeeprs are some of the components used to build a VoIP infrastructure, and routers are often used to provide these functions.
