The text description displayed in the External Gatekeepers list.

 

 

Address

Host name or IP address of the gatekeeper.

 

 

RAS port

set to 1719 unless you know the gatekeeper is using a non-standard port

 

number.

 

 

Prefix range

The dial string prefix or prefix range for which the external gatekeeper is

 

responsible.

 

Enter a single prefix (44), a range of prefixes (44-47), multiple prefixes

 

separated by commas (44,46), or a combination (41, 44-47, 49).

 

If your dial plan uses the Dial services by prefix dial rule (in the default dial

 

plan) to route calls to services, all dial strings beginning with an assigned

 

prefix are forwarded to this gatekeeper for resolution.

 

If your dial plan instead uses a rule that you create to apply the Resolve to

 

external gatekeeper action, there is no need to specify a prefix.

 

 

Strip prefix

If selected, the system strips the prefix when a call that includes a prefix is

 

routed to this gatekeeper.
