Administering Network Region

After a network region is defined, you can assign it to the various network elements (servers,
gateways, IP phones).
The information you need to do this should be provided in your planning documentation. Use
the system defaults if the planning documentation does not specify otherwise.
A network region is created primarily to assign VoIP resources for IP phones to ensure the
highest voice quality. As a result, the network region of the media gateway is almost always the
same as the network region assigned to the connected IP phones.
The procedure below uses 1 for the network region number as an example but the procedure
applies for any network region number from 1 to 250. If the media gateway connects to the
S8400, S8500, or S8700-series Media Server through a C-LAN connection, the network region
of the C-LAN and the TG550 might or might not need to share the same network region.

Conditions/Comments
The Ethernet port must be enabled (y) before it can be
used. The port must be disabled (n) before changes can
be made to its attributes on this screen.
The region number for this IP interface.
The threshold for the number of sockets used by this
C-LAN within the same Gatekeeper Priority as that of
other IP interfaces. If the targeted number is exceeded
on a CLAN, a warning alarm is generated. If the targeted
percentage is exceeded on an PE interface, a procr error
is generated.
Enter a 'y' to allow H.323 endpoint connectivity on this
CLAN. Enter 'n' if you do not want H.323 endpoints to
connect to this CLAN.
Enter 'y' to allow H.248 gateway connectivity to this
CLAN. Enter 'n' if you do not want H.248 gateways to
connect to this CLAN.
This value is used on the alternate gatekeeper list. The
lower the number the higher the priority. Valid values for
this field are one through nine with five being the default.
This field displays only if the allow H.323 endpoints field
is set to a yes on this form.
