Setting Alias Assignment - RADVision L2W-323 User Manual

Advanced Gatekeeper Configuration
Factory Defaults – This button resets the Gatekeeper parameters to the factory
configuration. It deletes configuration changes you made including settings concerning
endpoints, neighbors, topology and services. It also disconnects all calls and resets the
Gateway. Use with care!

Setting Alias Assignment

If the endpoint supports dynamic registration, you have to enable the Gatekeeper to add the
registration data to the predefined properties. Otherwise, no calls are forwarded to the
predefined aliases.
#"
To enable the Gatekeeper to add endpoint registration data to predefined properties
1. In the Configuration Source screen click the Gatekeeper Setup button. The
Gatekeeper Application Parameters screen is displayed.
2. In the Application Parameters screen click the Network Control button. The Network
Control screen is displayed.
3. In the Network Control screen, select the Alias Assignment check box and click OK.

Distance Settings
The distance settings give you control over endpoint dialing options between zones. The
distance settings relate only to inter-zone dialing and do not affect dialing within a zone.
There are four parameters related to the distance settings Neighbor Distance, Max.
Distance, Default Distance and Multicast Distance. These parameters are accessed
through different configuration screens, but are interconnected.
The distance settings are not real distances, but global designations you determine.
Distance Settings Parameters
Neighbor Distance – This determines the logical distance between zones. When you define
neighbor Gatekeepers for a Gatekeeper, you can define a logical distance between them.
When you set a value for this parameter, you also have to set the Max. Distance and
Default Distance parameters for endpoints in this zone to be able to dial to endpoints in the
neighbor Gatekeeper zone. This parameter is accessed from the Neighbor GK Parameters
screen in the Neighbor Gatekeepers Table when you add or edit a neighbor Gatekeeper
entry.
Max. Distance – This determines how far outside the zone this endpoint can make a call.
For example, if an endpoint Max. Distance is set to 50 and it makes a call request to a zone
that you have defined as a neighbor Gatekeeper with a Neighbor Distance of 100, the call
