How do I disable the Gatekeeper autodiscovery process?
VTALL is programmed to auto discover a Gatekeeper as part of the start up process. The normal time for this process is measured in milliseconds . However, the discovery process can prevent calling for up to 30 seconds as VTALL tries to locate a Gatekeeper and register the user name , telephone number(s) and email aliases. If the network does not have a gatekeeper the user probably will want to disable this process permanently. The Gatekeeper discovery process can be disabled by following the steps below. • Quit VTALL • Run Regedit from the Start/Run menu popup. • Open/expand the path to the gatekeeper’s settings: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/VB and VBA Programs/IP blue/Virtual Terminal/Options/Gatekeep • Add a new string value and label it “_disabled”. Set the value of _disabled to “true”. • Close regedit. • Run VTALL. Text at the top of the VTALL window will state that the gatekeeper has been manually disabled. Please note you will be able to place calls to other VTALL and H.323 devices
