Call Management

Note. Call Management functionality for re-routing calls is not included in the current software release. The discussion of this paragraph pertains primarily to the general theory of gatekeeper functionality. This function is included in plans for subsequent software releases.

The gatekeeper can keep a list of ongoing H.323 calls. This information allows the gatekeeper to re-route calls (where possible) to balance the traffic load on the networks.

Features

Ease of Use. The MultiVOIP Gatekeeper manages a zone, which is a collection of MultiVOIP gateways or other H.323 devices. Multiple gatekeepers can be configured to support several zones. For ease of use, the MultiVOIP Gatekeeper employs an intuitive graphical user interface. End- users can communicate using aliases (phone numbers). There’s no need to remember complicated network addresses. Simple prefixes are used to access gatekeeper services such as call forwarding and out-of-zone dialing.

Capacities & Capabilities by Model. Within each zone, the MultiVOIP Gatekeeper supports a certain number of concurrent calls and registered endpoints. The capacities and capabilities of the various embedded gatekeeper voip units are described in the table below.

Model	Number of	Number of Registered	Protocols
	Simultaneous	Endpoints Supported	Supported
	Calls Supported
MVP210G	10	250	H.323 v4
MVP410G	20	250	H.323 v4
MVP810G	20 or 30	250	H.323 v4
