Maintenance Manual

H.323
gatekeeper
status
Displays the IP address of the
gatekeeper currently being used by the
MCU.
This information might be useful if the gatekeeper has
been specified with a host name rather than with an IP
address.
If the MCU has been unable to reach the configured
gatekeeper and has instead registered with an alternate
gatekeeper, the status displayed here will be "registered
with alternate gatekeeper <IP address>".
Registered
address
Displays the local IP address and port
number that the MCU has registered
with the gatekeeper.
This information might be useful if the MCU has more than
one IP address, for instance if both Ethernet interfaces
are in use.
Alternate
gatekeepers
available
Displays the number of 'alternate'
gatekeepers configured on the H.323
gatekeeper. This figure comes from the
gatekeeper itself; if there are any
'alternate' gatekeepers configured, the
gatekeeper tells the MCU their IP
addresses.
Where the configured gatekeeper has told the MCU about
any configured 'alternate' gatekeepers and if the MCU
loses contact with the configured gatekeeper, the MCU
will attempt to register with each of the 'alternates' in
turn. If none of the 'alternate' gatekeepers responds, the
MCU will report that the registration has failed.
If the MCU successfully registers with an 'alternate'
gatekeeper:
■ the H.323 gatekeeper status will indicate that
registration is with an 'alternate'
■ the list of 'alternates' received from the new
gatekeeper will replace the previous list
■ the MCU will only revert back to the original
gatekeeper if the 'alternate' fails and only if the
original gatekeeper is configured as an 'alternate'
on the current gatekeeper's list of 'alternates'
Note that if the MCU registers with an 'alternate' that
does not itself supply a list of 'alternates', the MCU will
retain the original list and if it loses contact with the
current gatekeeper, each one will be attempted from the
top again as before.
Resource
availability
status
Displays whether the gatekeeper is
configured to send resource availability
indications and if it is, it displays the
current state of the resource availability
status of the MCU.
The possible statuses are:
■ resources available
■ resources unavailable
■ <indications not configured>
Number of
active
registrations
Displays the number of E.164 numbers
plus H.323 IDs plus prefixes that the
MCU has registered with the
gatekeeper.
It also shows how many registrations are in progress but
are not fully registered yet.
Full information on the gatekeeper registrations being
made by the MCU can be seen by clicking on details; this
takes you to the Active registrations page.
H.323 ID
registration
Displays the identifier that the MCU has
used to register itself with the H.323
gatekeeper.
For more information about the H.323 ID, refer to the table
above.
MCU
service
prefix
Displays the identifier that the
gatekeeper has registered for calls to
be routed to the MCU.
For more information about this prefix, refer to the table
above.
