The Type= switch only changes the flag in the RegistrationRequest GnuGk sends to the parent. It shouldn't matter much. Its certainly possible to neighbor with your parent gatekeeper, but I can't really think of a situation where that would be needed. Regards, Jan Andrew Struiksma wrote: > Ah.

I'm wondering if I were to do that if it would solve the trouble I'm having with dialing some end points via IP address and getting the routeCallToGatekeeper and facilityCallDeflection issues. > > Andrew > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jan Willamowius [mailto:jan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 11:13 PM > To: openh323gk-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: send prefix > > The idea of the parent gatekeeper is that it handles everything that > you can't handle locally.

You can use the E164 parameter to specify a comma separated list of all your extensions but they need to be the complete extensions but not just a prefix. However, I'd love to be proven wrong since that would be a nice alternate way to "neighbor." I used to use the [Endpoint] section to specify a gateway however that didn't seem to allow me to do everything I wanted to do including specify my own extensions within our state dialing plan.
