control the bandwidth used for calls between your local VCS and the neighbor zone
n
Note that:
neighbor zone relationship definitions are one-way; adding a system as a neighbor to your VCS
n
does not automatically make your VCS a neighbor of that system
inbound calls from any configured neighbor are identified as coming from that neighbor
n
systems that are configured as cluster peers (formerly known as Alternates) must not be configured
n
as neighbors to each other
The configurable options for a neighbor zone are:
Field Description
Configuration section:
Name The name acts as a unique identifier, allowing
you to distinguish between zones of the same
type.
Type The nature of the specified zone, in relation to
the local VCS. Select Neighbor.
Hop count The hop count is the number of times a
request will be forwarded to a neighbor
gatekeeper or proxy (see the
section for more information). This field
specifies the hop count to use when sending
a search request to this particular zone.
H.323 section:
Mode Determines whether H.323 calls are allowed
to and from the neighbor system.
Port Specifies the port on the neighbor system
used for H.323 calls from the local VCS.
SIP section:
Mode Determines whether SIP calls are allowed to
and from the neighbor system.
Port Specifies the port on the neighbor system
used for SIP connections from the local VCS.

Usage tips
After a zone has been created, the
Type cannot be changed.
If the search request was received
from another zone and already has
Hop counts a hop count assigned, the lower of
the two values is used.
This must be the same port
number as that configured on the
neighbor system as its H.323
UDP port. If the neighbor is
another VCS, this is the port found
under the
Protocols > H.323
Registration UDP Port field.
This must be the same port
number as that configured on the
neighbor system as its SIP TCP,
SIP TLS or SIP UDP listening port
(depending on which SIP
Transport mode is in use).
