Administrating the Media Gateway timer

Last Updated : Jan 08, 2024 |
Prolog information
Use this procedure to administer the gateway timers and Transition Point.
  1. Administer the gateway’s Primary Search Timer (the length of time that the gateway spends trying to connect to the primary server) by typing set mgp reset-times primary-search search-time at the Command Line Interface (CLI). The search-time values are 1-60 minutes.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Note:
    The Primary Search Timer value should be shorter than both the Total Search Timer and the Link Loss Delay Timer.
  2. Administer the Total Search Timer (the length of time that the gateway spends trying to connect to all alternate resources) by typing set mgp reset-times primary-search search-time at the Command Line Interface (CLI). The search-time values are 1-60 minutes.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Note:
    The Total Search Timer value should be greater than the Primary Search Timer but shorter than the Link Loss Delay Timer.
  3. Establish the Transition Point by typing set mgp reset transition-point n, where n is the numbered element in the MGC list.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    For example, if n= 2, the Transition Point is after the second element in the list. That is, the gateway first attempts reconnecting with its original procr and then tries one other alternate resource during the Primary Search Timer period.
