H323-STN (H.323 IP Station)
This maintenance object co vers implementation of the maintenance for na tive
mode H.323 endpoints. Native mo de H.323 applic ations such as NetMeeting or
Proshare only provide what is needed to sup port the H.323 standard . There is
very little that Definity can invoke in the maintenanc e area. Definity will report
errors as they are detected via the RAS registration and keep-alive mechanism.
Definity will PING the endpoint both via the sig naling path (i.e. via C-LAN) and via
the media path (i.e. via Medp ro).
This station type is not attached to a p ort board. Insertion of the s tation is not
driven by board insertion, rather it is driven b y successful registration of t he
endpoint. It is maintained via a set of explicit TCP/IP ping requests and errors
reported by the switc h software, which terminates the H.323 signa ling portion of
each endpoint. The MO follows stand ard maintenance methodol ogy and
supports test, busy out, release and status command s.
Error Log Entries and Test to Clear Values
Notes:
a. Error Type 1: this error reports the registration status of the end point. If
call processing SW claims the endpoint is registered a nd receives
keep-alive handshakes from the end point, the test passes. If keep -alive
handshaking has failed, the test fails. If the user has intentionally
un-registered from DEFINITY, the station is now basically an AWOH station
and is no longer being maintained; no tests will run for this station .
