DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Maintenance for R8.2csi 555-233-119 Issue 1

H323-STN (H.323 IP Station)
This maintenance object covers implementation of the maintenance for native
mode H.323 endpoints. Native mode H.323 applications such as NetMeeting or
Proshare only provide what is needed to support the H.323 standard. There is
very little that Definity can invoke in the maintenance area. Definity will report
errors as they are detected via the RAS registration and keep-alive mechanism.
Definity will PING the endpoint both via the signaling path (i.e. via C-LAN) and via
the media path (i.e. via Medpro).
This station type is not attached to a port board. Insertion of the station is not
driven by board insertion, rather it is driven by successful registration of the
endpoint. It is maintained via a set of explicit TCP/IP ping requests and errors
reported by the switch software, which terminates the H.323 signaling portion of
each endpoint. The MO follows standard maintenance methodology and
supports test, busyout, release and status commands.
Error Log Entries and Test to Clear Values
Notes:
a.
Error Type 1
: this error reports the registration status of the endpoint. If
call processing SW claims the endpoint is registered and receives
keep-alive handshakes from the endpoint, the test passes. If keep-alive
handshaking has failed, the test fails. If the user has intentionally
un-registered from DEFINITY, the station is now basically an AWOH station
and is no longer being maintained; no tests will run for this station.
