Location Service Type.
If you are using DHCP addressing then your IP address can change rendering it
unavailable. A location service is the only way to ensure continuous access to your
eyesite 550 by dialing the same number.
The eyesite 550 reports its current IP address and a unique and constant number to the
location server at regular intervals. If a call is attempted to the eyesite 550, the calling
device obtains the current address of the eyesite 550 from the location server.
There are two types of location service.
SCOTTY StatIX
TM
server (recommended) (example 4)
SCOTTY's StatIX server provides a simple, affordable location service.
It is available for a low monthly charge and offers a number of useful features over an
H.323 gatekeeper.
Single UDP port number for calls and location service.
This allows a single port forwarding rule in the firewall to cover calls and
location service.
e-mail or SMS notification of loss of service.
Should your eyesite 550 become unavailable you will be notified allowing you
to prevent a loss of service.
Low cost, low maintenance.
Configuring StatIX is easy and secure. A password protects unauthorised
users from access to details of your installed eyesite 550s.
