MP-1xx H.323 User’s Manual 5. Configuring the MP-1xx
Version 4.4 49 March 2005
Table 5-2: Gatekeeper Parameters (continues on pages 49 to 51)
Parameter Description
General
Working with Gatekeeper
[IsGatekeeperUsed]
No [0] = Gatekeeper isn’t used.
Yes [1] = Gatekeeper is used (default).
If you are using a Gatekeeper, enter the IP address of the primary Gatekeeper in the
‘Gatekeeper IP address’ field.
If you are not using a Gatekeeper, you must configure the Tel to IP Routing table on the
gateway (described in Section
5.8.4.2 on page 74).
Gatekeeper IP Address
[GatekeeperIP]
Or
[GatekeeperIP = IP,ID]
IP address (or domain name) of the primary Gatekeeper you are using.
Enter the IP address in dotted format notation, for example 201.10.8.1.
Note: When using a domain name, you must enter a Primary Domain Name Server
(DNS), or alternatively define this name in the ‘Internal DNS Table’.
ini file note: Use this parameter to define the ID of the primary Gatekeeper:
Gatekeeper = IP,ID
Gatekeeper ID
[GatekeeperIP = IP,ID]
String used to identify the primary Gatekeeper.
Used in Registration Request (RRQ messages).
The default value is an empty string.
ini file note: The ID of the primary Gatekeeper is defined by the first entry of the ini file
parameter GatekeeperIP:
Gatekeeper = IP,ID
Use Alternative Gatekeeper
AlternativeGKUsed
No [0] = Disabled (default).
Yes [1] = Alternative Gatekeepers option is enabled.
The Alternative Gatekeeper mechanism is implemented according to para. 7.2.6 in the
H.323v4 standard.
Gatekeeper Redundancy
[IsRedundantGKUsed]
No [0] = If you are using a single Gatekeeper (default).
Yes [1] = If you are using two or three Gatekeepers.
If you enable Gatekeeper Redundancy, the gateway can work with up to three
Gatekeepers. If there is no response from the current Gatekeeper, the gateway tries to
communicate with the other Gatekeepers. When a new Gatekeeper is found, the
gateway continues working with it until the next Gatekeeper failure.
To use Gatekeeper Redundancy, you must enter an IP address in the ‘Second
Gatekeeper IP Address’ field. If you are using three Gatekeepers, you also need to enter
an IP address in the ‘Third Gatekeeper IP Address’ field.
Second Gatekeeper IP
Address
[GatekeeperIP]
Or
[GatekeeperIP = IP,ID]
IP address (or domain name) of the first redundant Gatekeeper you are using.
Enter the IP address in dotted format notation, for example 192.10.1.255.
Note 1: This parameter is available only if you select Yes in the Gatekeeper
Redundancy field.
Note 2: When using a domain name, you must enter a Primary DNS server, or
alternatively define this name in the ‘Internal DNS Table’.
ini file note 1: The IP address of the first redundant Gatekeeper is defined by the
second repetition of the ini file parameter GatekeeperIP.
ini file note 2: Use this parameter to define the ID of the first redundant Gatekeeper:
Gatekeeper = IP,ID
Second Gatekeeper ID
[GatekeeperIP]
String used to identify the first redundant Gatekeeper.
Used in Registration Request (RRQ messages).
The default value is an empty string.
Note: This parameter is available only if you select Yes in the Gatekeeper Redundancy
field.
ini file note: The ID of the first redundant Gatekeeper is defined by the second repetition
of the ini file parameter GatekeeperIP:
Gatekeeper = IP,ID
