TANDBERG MCU 4500, MSE 8510 manual Gatekeeper settings Gatekeeper status

To configure gatekeeper settings, go to .

You can configure the MCU to use a gatekeeper, which can make it easier for end-users to join conferences using directory numbers rather than requiring them to know the IP address or host name of the MCU. The MCU can register up to 100 IDs with the gatekeeper; these IDs comprise conferences' Numeric IDs, the MCU service prefix, and the H.323 ID. If you need to register more than 100 IDs, use a prefix for MCU registrations to route calls to the MCU, rather than registering individual conferences with the gatekeeper. The use of prefixes is described further in the table below.

Enables the MCU to use an H.323 gatekeeper for registration of numeric identifiers for its conferences and/or auto attendants.

When set to Disabled then no gatekeeper registrations are attempted (and existing registrations are torn down), regardless of other gatekeeper or per-conference settings.

When set to Enabled registrations with the gatekeeper are attempted, and the gatekeeper is contacted for incoming and outgoing calls. If the gatekeeper does not respond, calls are still connected if possible. When set to Required registrations with the gatekeeper are attempted but calls are not connected if the gatekeeper cannot be contacted.
