Add External Gatekeeper Dialog

The following table describes the fields in the Add External Gatekeeper dialog.

Column	Description
External Gatekeeper
Enabled	Clearing this check box lets you stop using an external gatekeeper without
	deleting it.
Name	Gatekeeper name.
Description	The text description displayed in the External Gatekeepers list.
Address	Host name or IP address of the gatekeeper.
RAS port	The RAS (Registration, Admission and Status) channel port number. Leave
	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.
Prefer routed	If selected (the default), the system forces all calls to this gatekeeper to routed
	mode.
	This setting must be enabled to avoid interoperability issues with Polycom
	CMA and Avaya gatekeepers, and possibly others as well.
Authentication Mode	In this section, you can configure the system to send its H.235 credentials
	when it sends address resolution requests to that gatekeeper.
