H.323
gatekeeper
status
The status of the gatekeeper
currently being used by the ISDN
Gateway.
One of:
name resolved to <IP address>: the
ISDN Gateway has successfully
validated the IP address of the
gatekeeper.
not in use: there is no gatekeeper in
use
name resolution in progress: the ISDN
Gateway is trying to validate an IP
address or find the IP address that
corresponds to the specified host
name for the gatekeeper.
retrying name resolution: the ISDN
Gateway is trying to validate an IP
address again or find the IP address
that corresponds to the specified host
name for the gatekeeper.
failed to resolve gatekeeper name: the
ISDN Gateway could not find the IP
address of the gatekeeper.
Registered
address
Displays the local IP address and
port number that the ISDN
Gateway has registered with the
gatekeeper.
This information might be useful if the ISDN
Gateway has more than one IP address , for
instance if both Ethernet interfaces are in use.
Alternate
gatekeepers
available
Displays the number of 'alternate'
gatekeepers configured on the
H.323 gatekeeper. This figure
comes from the gatekeeper itself;
if there are any 'alternate'
gatekeepers configured, the
gatekeeper tells the ISDN
Gateway their IP addresses.
Where the configured gatekeeper has told the
ISDN Gateway about any configured
'alternate' gatekeepers and if the ISDN
Gateway loses contact with the configured
gatekeeper, the ISDN Gateway will attempt to
register with each of the 'alternates' in turn. If
none of the 'alternate' gatekeepers responds,
the ISDN Gateway will report that the
registration has failed.
If the ISDN Gateway successfully registers
with an 'alternate' gatekeeper:
the H.323 gatekeeper status will
indicate that registration is with an
'alternate'
the list of 'alternates' received from the
new gatekeeper will replace the
previous list
the ISDN Gateway will only revert
back to the original gatekeeper if the
'alternate' fails and only if the original
gatekeeper is configured as an
'alternate' on the current gatekeeper's
