expires, the G700 Gateway continues past the transition point and tries the remaining
addresses once each before returning to the top.
7.2.3 Total Search Time
This time defines how long the Avaya G700 Gateway will search its list before
performing a hard reset of the MGP and a restart of the search process.
The following examples use the same primary and total search times, and are used
to illustrate the effect of changing the transition point on the overall recovery time and
how an administrator can control the connectivity priorities for each location in a system.
Example 1:
Primary search time: 1 minute
Transition point: 1
Total search time: 30 minutes
1 CLAN1
**Transition point**
2 LSP
The emphasis in Example 1 is to transfer control to the LSP quickly and reduce the
downtime during the transfer by having a single CLAN above the transition point and the
LSP after. If the Avaya G700 Gateway is registered to CLAN1 when there is a network
outage between the G700 Gateway and the primary gatekeeper, the G700 will first
attempt re-registration with the CLAN before continuing with the circular search through
the list.
Once the Avaya G700 Gateway is able to reach a gatekeeper, the MGP will reset
and begin the search at the top of the list once again. At this point, the G700 Gateway
will try the CLAN and then the LSP.
If the Avaya G700 Gateway is unable to reach the LSP, the G700 Gateway will
start its search at the top of the list. If the G700 continues in this fashion and is unable to
reach a gatekeeper for duration of the total search time, the MGP will reset and start at
the top of the list.
Example 2:
Primary search time: 1 minute
Transition point: 2
Total search time: 30 minutes
1 CLAN1
2 CLAN2
**Transition point**
3 LSP
Example 2 puts the emphasis on maintaining a fully-connected network by having two
CLANs above the transition point and the LSP after. If the Avaya G700 Gateway is
