Service mode
(cont.) To use the Board Hunting mode and route calls to
an available IP card, the dialed string must begin
with the IP Service prefix. When this format is
used for dial-in, the prefix can be followed by a
conference/ Meeting Room numeric ID or name.
When using a gateway call, the prefix can be
followed by a gateway session profile or by
another format that can be read by the gateway.
The dialing format depends on the call type as
follows:
• Conference (multipoint): [H.323 prefix service]
[Conference/Meeting Room numeric ID/name]
•
Gateway session (point to point): [H.323 service
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.
