H323-STN (H.323 IP Station)
This maintenance object covers implementation of the maintenance for native
mode H.323 endpoints. Native mode H.323 applications such as NetMeeting or
Proshare only provide what is needed to support the H.323 standard. There is
very little that Avaya MultiVantage Software can invoke in the maintenance area.
The Avaya Definity Server CSI will report errors as they are detected via the RAS
registration and keep-alive mechanism. The Avaya Definity Server CSI will PING
the endpoint both via the signaling path (i.e. via C-LAN) and via the media path
(i.e. via Medpro).
This station type is not attached to a port board. Insertion of the station is not
driven by board insertion, rather it is driven by successful registration of the
endpoint. It is maintained via a set of explicit TCP/IP ping requests and errors
reported by the switch software, which terminates the H.323 signaling portion of
each endpoint. The MO follows standard maintenance methodology and supports
test, busyout, release and status commands.
Error Log Entries and Test to Clear Values
Notes:
a. Error Type 1: this error reports the registration status of the endpoint. If call
processing SW claims the endpoint is registered and receives keep-alive
handshakes from the endpoint, the test passes. If keep-alive handshaking
has failed, the test fails. If the user has intentionally un-registered from
Avaya MultiVantage Software, the station is now basically an AWOH
station and is no longer being maintained; no tests will run for this station.
