which is used by the endpoints and CMA system for
communication.
The maximum number of characters is 254. All ASCII
characters are valid.
Gatekeeper

The description (AS.CII only) of this gatekeeper on the
network.

Registration
Refresh (seconds)
The number of days that the CMA system gatekeeper
maintains the endpoint registration information, in case
the endpoint has not yet received any.
The default is
30 days.
Enter
999 to prevent endpoint registrations from
expiring automatically.
Registration
Refresh (seconds)
The interval at which the CMA system sends
“keep-alive” messages to registered endpoints to
determine whether they are online. The default is 300
seconds.
If the endpoint responds with a registration request
message, the endpoint is online. If not, the endpoint is
offline.
When the endpoint is registered to another gatekeeper,
the CMA system still shows the endpoint’s status.
To view the endpoint’s state (Online or Offline), go to
Endpoint> Monitor View.
Note
Endpoints are Offline when they have been turned off
or have been removed from the network. Endpoints
return to an Online state when they have been turned
on or have re-registered with CMA system.
Maximum Neighbor

Counts
Limits the number of connections to make when an
endpoint seeks dialing resolution. The default is
3 .
Log calls to/from
unregistered
