MultiVOIP Gatekeeper Software Guide 9 Neighbors Window

Neighbors Window
To open the Neighbors window, click Neighbors in the Windows Menu. The
Neighbors window enables you to specify the IP addresses of gatekeepers in other
zones. The Gatekeeper uses its neighbor gatekeepers to resolve the destination IP
address when a call should be routed to another zone.
Use the Neighbors window to build a table in the Gatekeeper database that explicitly
defines all neighbor gatekeepers that the current Gatekeeper can access via IP unicast.
Although the Gatekeeper can resolve addresses from other zones using only the Use
Multicast option in the Parameters window, using the Neighbor Gatekeepers Table
adds to the efficiency and reliability of the process. You must use the Neighbor
Gatekeepers Table if you do not want to use multicast.

Prefix

is defined, LRQs and calls are routed only to this gatekeeper if the destination
address of the call has this prefix.
