	Field	Description
	Service Mode	• Board Hunting – In this mode, the MCU is
	(cont.)	registered with the gatekeeper using the Network
		Service prefix. In addition, all the IP cards that
		are defined in the same Network Service register
		with the gatekeeper with the same prefix.
		When using the Network Service Prefix for
		dialing, the IP call that reaches the gatekeeper is
		forwarded to first available IP card on the MCU
		according to the cards registered with the
		gatekeeper for the Network Service whose prefix
		was used. In this mode, the dialed string must
		begin with the IP Service prefix and can be
		followed by the conference Numeric ID. For
		example: [H.323 prefix] [Conference/Meeting
		Room numeric ID/name].
		In a gateway call, the prefix can be followed by a
		Gateway Session Profile or by another format
		that can be read by the gateway:
		[H.323 prefix] [gateway service prefix] [gateway
		delimiter] [gateway information]
		Notes:
		• This mode is dependent on the gatekeeper’s
		implementation as the gatekeeper may not
		allow multiple registrations from different IP
		addresses.
		• Board Hunting is the default mode. It is not
		recommended to use Board Hunting with
		Forwarding. If both are selected, Forwarding
		overrides Board Hunting settings.
		• Register as a Gateway – Select this mode when
		using a Cisco gatekeeper.
		In this mode the gatekeeper is defined as a
		gateway. A gateway prefix is usually manually
		registered with the gatekeeper and the IP cards
		use the same prefix to register with the gateway.
		With a Cisco gatekeeper that supports this
		mode, the MCU is registered as an
		H.320-gateway and it requires the dialing string
		to start with the prefix as with Board Hunting.
