Press Submit.
The reachability settings are used to determine when the V
2
IU appliance
provides local call switching by entering fallback mode and when it returns
call control to network based call processing servers. The definitions of the
reachability settings are as follows:
Time between heartbeat messages - The number of seconds between each
heartbeat message sent to the call processing servers to determine
connectivity.
Time to declare heartbeat lost – The number of seconds that the V
2
IU appliance
will wait before declaring a response to a heartbeat message lost.
Number of lost messages to declare alarm - the number of consecutively lost
responses to heartbeat messages required for the V
2
IU appliance to declare a
loss of connectivity to the network based call processing server.
Number of received messages to clear alarm - the number of consecutively
received responses to heartbeat messages required for the V
2
IU Appliance to
declare successful connectivity to the network based call processing server.
The formula used to determine the maximum time for the V
2
IU appliance to
declare a loss of connectivity to a call processing server is: maximum time =
(X * Y) + Z, where,
X = Time between heartbeat messages
Y = Number of lost messages to declare alarm
Z = Time to declare a heartbeat lost
The default value for X, Y and Z in the V
2
IU appliance is 5. Therefore, the
default maximum time to declare a call processing server unreachable is 30
seconds or ((5*5) + 5).
Step 3 - Specify the number of digits to use for local dialing

2
IU appliance will use for dialing
