Patton electronic SmartNode 4110 Series Binding a location service, Configuring the hunt timeout

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 41 • SIP call-router services

Binding a location service

If a call is route to the location-service it performs a lookup with the requested URI to the bound location ser- vice to find the address bindings. This command is optional because if no location service is bound, all existing location services will be considered to find the right contact information.

Mode: Service SIP location-service

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[name] (svc-ls)[name]#[no] bind loca-	Binds the service to a location service. The no
	tion-service name	form of the command removes an existing
		binding.

Configuring multi-contact behavior

There may be cases when a user has registered with several contacts in the location service database to be reach- able on several SIP clients. If a call is routed to this service and the lookup in the location service database results in several contacts, this command specifies the behavior for such a case. One possibility is to contact all clients at the same time (distribute) or to contact the clients one after the other (hunt). At time of registration a priority value can be provided. In hunt mode, this priority defines the sequence of contacting the clients. The following modes are available:

•Hunt: Contact one registration after the other, depending on the priority. Highest priority first.

•Distribute: Contact all registrations at the same time.

•Distribute and Hunt: Registrations with the same priority build a distribution group. Hunt over this groups beginning with the highest priority.

Mode: Service SIP location-service

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[name] (svc-ls)[name]#mode {hunt dis-	Specifies the multi contact behavior of the SIP
	tribute distribute-and-hunt}	location-service.
		Default: distribute-and-hunt

Configuring the hunt timeout

The hunt-timeoutcommand is used in 'hunt' mode and 'distribute-and-hunt' mode. It specifies the time that the service must hunt to the next contact if one is not responding. The user must configure this value because it is set per default to zero. This means that the hunting process will stay on the first contact and will never pro- ceed with the next registered contact.
