instance if both Ethernet interfaces are in use.
Where the configured gatekeeper has told the
ISDN gateway about any configured 'alternate'
gatekeepers and if the ISDN gateway loses
contact with the configured gatekeeper, the
ISDN gateway will attempt to register with
each of the 'alternates' in turn. If none of the
'alternate' gatekeepers responds, the ISDN
gateway will report that the registration has
failed.
If the ISDN gateway successfully registers with
an 'alternate' gatekeeper:
