Static RTP Ports Type: Boolean
Range: true/false
Default: false
Boolean indicating whether the RTP
Media Portal should perform static
fixed port allocation/management,
or dynamic randomized port
allocation/management.
Note: When this parameter is
selected, the Blade's configuration
parameter "Number Ports" is
disregarded and all ports in the
range from “Min Port Value” to “Max
Port Value” are allocated for usage.
All even-numbered ports in the
specified range are used for RTP
streams and the odd-numbered
ports are used for RTCP streams.
Activate IP Failover Type: Boolean
Range: true/false
Default: true
Enables the RTP Media Portal Host
CPU to monitor the status of the
Private network Interface and react
accordingly. This basic capability
enables the system to maintain
service availability in the wake of
Private network failures. Whenever
an RTP Media Portal Host CPU
detects that it is having problems
with its Private network interface,
the Host switches to another
available Private network interface.
Note: There are two tests
associated with the activation of
Host IP Failover: a carrier sense test
and an optional network (ping) test.
Upon activation of Host IP failover,
the carrier sense test is
automatically provided. Enabling of
the optional network test is
controlled by the “Activate IP
Failover NW Test” configuration
parameter. Enabling the optional
network test will generate a periodic
ping to the default gateway on the
private network which was
configured during installation and
commissioning.
