Administering switch connections for DMCC applications that use Registration Services - assigning H.323 IP addresses

Last Updated : Jan 21, 2024 |

About this task

When you are administering AE Services for DMCC applications that use Registration Services, you have the option of using Signaling Details when you administer a switch connection.

If you want to use the round-robin assignment of IP addresses to softphones based on a Switch Connection name (highly recommended), then set up a Switch Connection and use the Signaling Details feature to associate a list of Signaling Details with the Switch Connection name. The Processor Ethernet (PE) IP address of the Main Communication Manager is automatically included as a gatekeeper if the address is entered in the Edit Processor Ethernet IP page.

Caution:

The Processor Ethernet IP addresses of any ESS or LSP servers must not be included in the GK list. The PE IPs of ESS or LSP servers should only be included in the Survivability Hierarchy list.

Procedure

  1. From the AE Services Management Console main menu, select Communication Manager Interface > Switch Connections
  2. From the Switch Connections page, select the connection name you want to associate with the Signaling Details.
  3. Click Edit Signaling Details.
  4. On the Edit Signaling Details page, in the Add Name or IP field, type the host name or IP address of the Processor Ethernet you want to use.
    Note:

    You must use either an explicit IPv4 address or an IPv6 address. Do not use an IPv4-mapped/compatible IPv6 address that combines the IPv4 and IPv6 formats.

    Do not add the Processor Ethernet IP addresses of any ESS or LSP servers to the Signaling Details list. The PE IPs of the ESS or LSP servers should only be included in the Survivability Hierarchy list

  5. If you are adding multiple Signaling Details (Processor Ethernet), repeat Step 4 for each Signaling Details.

    When you add multiple Signaling Details for a switch connection, each host name or IP address is added as the last item in the name or IP address list.
