MultiVOIP User Guide Embedded Gatekeeper

Getting Started with the Gatekeeper-
Equipped MultiVOIP
MultiVOIP units equipped with embedded gatekeeper functionality
(MVP210G, MVP410G, or MVP810G) require configuration of their
gatekeeper parameters before they can control a group of voip gateways.
(This configuration is in addition to setting the technical parameters and
phonebook parameters that are needed for the gateway functionality of these
MultiVOIP units.)
Gatekeepers can be configured to enact a wide range of functionality, but
they are primarily node points that direct and manage traffic to other
endpoints. The essential question of “whose messages go where?” can be
answered either by a gatekeeper that acts as a coordinating node or
clearinghouse for the system or by phonebooks coordinated among the set of
peer endpoints (gateways) that make up the system.
In its role as a node point, the gatekeeper directs call traffic between pairs of
endpoints engaged in the call. To facilitate this node-point control, all
endpoints (voip gateways) must be registered with the gatekeeper. This
registration is done in
the
Gatekeeper | Existing Endpoints screen.
