MultiVOIP Gatekeeper Software Guide 4 Endpoints Window

All endpoints—terminals, Gateways, and MCUs—together with their Gatekeeper,

constitute a zone. You can configure a zone in advance by predefining endpoints that

are entitled to register with the Gatekeeper. This is done by first adding new

endpoints with their details in the Predefined Properties dialog box and then setting

Registration Policy in the main window to Predefined endps.

Predefined zone configuration is not mandatory; you can allow your Gatekeeper to

accept registration requests from any endpoint. To achieve this, choose the open zone

registration policy in the main window by selecting All endpoints under

Registration Policy, and make sure you define all existing services as default. In this

case, you do not need to perform any editing operations.

You create endpoint predefined properties by editing the fields in the Predefined

Properties dialog box. There are many benefits to defining these properties:

• When you choose a strict zone policy, by predefining an endpoint you can define

the subset of endpoints that is allowed to register.

• When you choose an open zone policy, by predefining an endpoint you give the

endpoint special attributes. For example, when you edit the service access of an

endpoint, you can specify to which services this endpoint has access and to which

Services access is prohibited.

• When you predefine endpoints, you can also enable registration to different

endpoints that are running on the same computer. When endpoints are not

predefined, they must have a unique IP address. However, when you predefine

endpoints, different endpoints can be predefined using the same IP address while

using different port numbers.

• In non-DHCP mode, when more than one terminal is running on the same

computer, you must predefine each endpoint separately. Each endpoint is given

the IP address of the computer and a unique port number. The Gatekeeper accepts

a registration only if a terminal sent the registration using the corresponding IP

and port.When only one endpoint is running from the same IP, it is possible to

predefine endpoints with a known IP but an unknown port by setting the known

IP address in the IP field, and setting the port to 0. In this case the Gatekeeper

identifies the registering endpoint by the IP address alone.

You can set predefined properties for the endpoint in the following fields:

Endpoint Type

The endpoint type: Gateway, Gatekeeper, MCU, Terminal or Undefined. When an

endpoint attempts to register with the Gatekeeper, the Gatekeeper compares the

endpoint type with the predefined value. If the Gatekeeper detects a discrepancy, the

registration is not accepted. Ifyou are not sure of the endpoint type, select Undefined,

which allows any endpoint of any type to register with the Gatekeeper.

Names/Phones

The aliases of the endpoint. If you select Alias Giving in the Parameters window,

these aliases become online when the endpoint registers, and are returned to the

endpoint with the RCF message.

Forward To

The aliases to which the endpoint is forwarded. Entering aliases in these fields

activates an unconditional forward setting for the endpoint by configuration.
