Call Server Settings

 

 

Table 10-1Fields on the Call Server Settings page (continued)

 

Field

Description

 

 

 

 

Allow calls to inactive

If this option is selected, the Call Server considers

 

endpoints

inactive as well as active endpoints when attempting to

 

 

resolve an address using the Dial registered endpoints

 

 

by alias dial rule (see “The Default Dial Plan and

 

 

Suggestions for Modifications” on page 246).

 

 

Turning this option off can prevent the aliases of

 

 

registrations that are no longer active from masking the

 

 

aliases of endpoints registered to other call servers.

 

 

This is useful in situations where an endpoint might

 

 

have an active registration with one Call Server and an

 

 

inactive registration with another (such as a mobile

 

 

device that moves from a Call Server handling

 

 

registrations through an SBC to a different Call Server

 

 

in the network).

 

 

 

 

Terminate calls based

If this option is selected, the Call Server terminates a

 

upon failed responses

call if it sends an IRQ (Information Request) to the

 

to IRQs

endpoint and receives either no response or an IRR

 

 

(Information Request Response) containing an

 

 

invalidCall field. This is the correct behavior according

 

 

to the H.323 ITU Specification, and it prevents a call

 

 

license from being used unnecessarily for a call that’s

 

 

no longer active.

 

 

Some endpoints (VVX prior to v.4.0.1, Sony PCS1,

 

 

XG80, and G70, and possibly others) don’t properly

 

 

handle IRQ/IRR messaging, causing active calls to be

 

 

disconnected if this option is selected. To avoid this

 

 

problem with such endpoints, leave this option off.

 

 

 

 

Gatekeeper call mode

Direct call mode — The gatekeeper processes only

 

 

H.225.0 RAS call control messages. The endpoints

 

 

exchange other call signaling and media control

 

 

messages directly, bypassing the gatekeeper.

 

 

Routed call mode — The gatekeeper proxies all H.323

 

 

signaling messages.

 

 

 

 

Available bandwidth

Sets the maximum percentage of the available

 

limit (percent)

bandwidth that can be allocated to a single call.

 

 

If the requested bandwidth exceeds this value, the

 

 

gatekeeper “downspeeds” (reduces the bit rate of) the

 

 

call, but only to the user’s downspeed minimum.

 

 

If there is insufficient bandwidth to comply with both this

 

 

setting and the downspeed minimum, the call is

 

 

rejected.

 

 

 

 

Location request hop

The initial hop count the gatekeeper uses when it sends

 

count

LRQs to neighbored gatekeepers.

 

 

 

 

Location request

The number of seconds to wait for a response from a

 

timeout (seconds)

neighbored gatekeeper.
