MultiVOIP Gatekeeper Software Guide 4 Endpoints Window

Online Properties Dialog Box

When an endpoint registers with the Gatekeeper, the endpoint is activated, becoming

online. Following an orderly shutdown, the endpoint unregisters automatically, ending

the online portion of the registration. Registration informs the Gatekeeper that the

endpoint is active and ready to receive calls. Calls are routed only to online endpoints.

To display the properties of an online endpoint, open the Online Properties dialog

box by double-clicking the endpoint in the Endpoints window. Online properties can

originate from the following sources:

• Properties entered from an RRQ message during the registration process.

• Properties set by the Gatekeeper program, by calling the API functions that access

the Registration Table.

• Predefined properties (static data) that became dynamic during the registration

process when selecting the Alias Giving option in the Parameters window.

The online properties of an endpoint can be used by other endpoints. For instance, if

an alias appears in this window, the endpoint can be called using this alias, and the

Gatekeeper will direct a call with this alias to the endpoint. On the other hand, if the

alias appears only in the Predefined Properties dialog box, this alias is not con-

sidered online, so the Gatekeeper will not direct the call with this alias to the endpoint.
