The
Call status
page lists all the calls currently taking place to or
from devices registered with the VCS, or that are passing through
the VCS.

Calls status
page:

•
The page displays the following information:
Start time
The date and time at which the call was
placed.
Source
The alias of the device that placed the
call.
Destination
The alias to which the call was placed.
This may be different from the alias that
was actually dialed from the device, as it
may have been transformed either locally
or before the zone was queried.
Bandwidth allocated
The amount of bandwidth allocated to
this call. This may be different to the
amount of bandwidth originally requested
by the endpoint that placed the call.
Route
The subzone or zone from which the call
was received and the subzone or zone to
which the call was placed.
Intermediary subzones are not shown
here. To see the complete route within
the VCS that the call took, click on

!
Call disconnection works differently for H.323 and SIP
calls due to differences in the way the protocols work.
For H.323 calls, and interworked H.323 to SIP calls, the
Disconnect
command will actually disconnect the call.
For SIP to SIP calls, the
Disconnect
command will cause the
VCS to release all resources used for the call and the call will
appear on the system as disconnected. However, SIP calls are
peer-to-peer and as a SIP proxy the VCS has no authority over the
endpoints. Although releasing the resources may have the side-
effect of disconnecting the SIP call, it is also possible that the
call signaling, media or both may stay up (depending on the type
of call being made). The call will not actually disconnect until the
SIP endpoints involved have also cleared their resources.
