Mediant Series and TP-1610 H.323 5.5.4.3 Internal DNS Table The internal DNS table, similar to a DNS resolution, translates hostnames into IP addresses. This table is used when hostname translation is required (e.g., ‘Tel to IP Routing’ table). Two different IP addresses can be assigned to the same hostname.
Mediant Series and TP-1610 H.323 User’s Manual 5. Web Management 5.5.4.4 Reasons for Alternative Routing The Reasons for Alternative Routing screen includes two tables (Tel IP and IP Tel). Each table enables you to define up to 4 different release reasons. If a call is released as a result of one of these reasons (received in Q.931 presentation), the gateway tries to find an alternative route to that call.
5.5.5 Configuring the Profile Definitions Utilizing the Profiles feature, the Mediant 2000 provides high-level adaptation when connected to a variety of equipment (from both Tel and IP sides) and protocols, each of which require a different system behavior. Using Profiles, users can assign different Profiles (behavior) on a per- call basis, using the Tel to IP and IP to Trunk Group Routing tables, or associate different Profiles to the gateway’s B-channels(s).
Use the Tel Profile Settings screen to define up to four different Tel Profiles. These Profiles are used in the ‘Trunk Group’ table to associate different Profiles to gateway’s B-channels, thereby applying different behavior to different Mediant 2000 B-channels. To configure the Tel Profile settings, take these 8 steps: Open the ‘Tel Profile Settings’...
Mediant Series and TP-1610 H.323 Note: If the coder lists of both IP and Tel Profiles apply to the same call, an intersection of the coders is performed (i.e., only common coders remain). The order of the coders is determined by the preference. Configure the Profile’s parameters according to your requirements.
Page 79
Mediant Series and TP-1610 H.323 User’s Manual 5. Web Management In the ‘Profile Preference’ drop-down list, select the preference (1-10) of the current Profile. The preference option is used to determine the priority of the Profile. If both IP and Tel profiles apply to the same call, the coders and other common parameters of the preferred Profile are applied to that call.
In this registration mode the ‘Type of Number’ columns are used, to define the prefix’s TON. In other modes (GwRegistrType = 0, 1 or 2), the TON column is ignored. For detailed information on the available methods the Mediant 2000 gateway registers with a Gatekeeper, refer to Section on page 168.

These prefixes are used by the VoIP gateway to register to a Gatekeeper. When entering a prefix, you can create an entry that represents multiple prefixes using the following notation: n-m represents a range of numbers.
Mediant Series and TP-1610 H.323 5.5.7 Configuring the Trunk Group Table Use the Trunk Group table to assign trunk groups, profiles and logical telephone numbers to the gateway's E1/T1 B-channels. Trunk Groups are used for routing IP Tel calls with common rules. Channels that are not defined are disabled.

When fax/modem transmission ends, the reverse is carried out, and bypass coder is switched to regular voice coder.
If none of the Gatekeepers respond, the gateway goes over the list again and works with the first responsive Gatekeeper. The Mediant 2000 gateway can fallback to the internal ‘Tel to IP Routing’ table when communication with Gatekeepers is lost. If this option is enabled (IsFallbackUsed=1), the Mediant 2000 starts using its internal routing table, and works without a Gatekeeper.

The Signaling System 7 (SS7) tunneling feature facilitates peer-to-peer transport of SS7 links between gateways that support AudioCodes' unique MTP2 (Message Transfer Part) Tunneling application (M2TN) for transferring SS7 MTP2 link data over IP. In this scenario, both sides of the link are pure TDM switches and are unaware of the IP tandem that is utilized between them.
• Only standard protocols are used on external interfaces (MTP2 on PSTN side, and M2UA over SCTP on IP side) - the M2TN application resides internally in the Mediant 2000. • No extra signaling point codes are required; both endpoints are unaware that the SS7 connection is via IP.
