Neighbor
gatekeeper
1 and 2
Enter the IP address(es), or hostname(s) (or
<host>:<port number> to specify a port other than the
default of 1719 on the neighboring gatekeeper), of the
neighboring gatekeeper(s).
These are the gatekeepers to which the
built-in gatekeeper will send an LRQ if it has
received an ARQ to resolve an ID which it
does not currently have registered. The
built-in gatekeeper will then use the
information received from the neighbor(s) to
reply to the original request. Note that
square brackets are mandatory for IPv6
addresses.
Accept
LRQs
Configures the built-in gatekeeper to reply to LRQs
from other gatekeepers.
These requests can come from any
gatekeeper which has the MCU's built-in
gatekeeper configured as one of its
neighbors.
Forward
LRQs for
unknown
IDs
Configures the built-in gatekeeper to send (or not to
send) LRQs regarding unknown IDs to its neighbor(s).
Choose from the options:
■ Disabled: The MCU will only respond to LRQs
about IDs registered with itself. It will not
forward LRQs about IDs that are not registered
with itself to neighboring gatekeepers.
■ Enabled, using local return address: The MCU
will put, in the LRQ, its own address as the
return address for the LCF.
■ Enabled, using received return address: The
MCU will put, in the LRQ, the address of the
gatekeeper that originated the request as the
return address for the LCF. Use this option only
if you are configuring the MCU to operate in an
environment with a multiple-level gatekeeper
hierarchy. For example, the 'received address'
is required by the national gatekeepers
connected to the Global Dialing Scheme
(GDS).
Unless you have selected to Accept LRQs,
you cannot configure the MCU to forward
any LRQs.
Enabling using received return address can
be a significant security risk. Only use this
setting with proper cause.
Accept
LCFs from
non-
neighbors
This setting enables the built-in gatekeeper to accept
LCF message responses from any IP address.
This setting is for use in environments with a
multiple-level gatekeeper hierarchy. For
example, this feature is required by the
national gatekeepers connected to the
Global Dialing Scheme (GDS).
Enabling this setting can be a significant
security risk. Only use this setting with
proper cause.
Gatekeeper Status
The number of registered devices is shown in the format X / Y where Y is the number of registered devices that your
built-in gatekeeper is licensed for. Equally, the total number of registered IDs is shown as Z / 1000, where 1000 is the
maximum number of registrations allowed over all registered devices.
Below these summary figures is a table showing individual registrations. Registrations can be viewed by registered ID
(the "ID view") or by device (the "Registration view"), giving complete and easily searchable lists. Switch between
the views by clicking on the appropriate button.
