Parameter  Description 
using the UsePingPongKeepAlive parameter. 
Web: Proxy Keep Alive Time 
EMS: Keep Alive Time 
[ProxySet_ProxyKeepAliveTim
e] 
Defines the Proxy keep-alive time interval (in seconds) between 
Keep-Alive messages. This parameter is configured per Proxy 
Set. 
The valid range is 5 to 2,000,000. The default value is 60. 
Note: This parameter is applicable only if the parameter 
EnableProxyKeepAlive is set to 1 (OPTIONS). When the 
parameter EnableProxyKeepAlive is set to 2 (REGISTER), the 
time interval between Keep-Alive messages is determined by the 
parameter RegistrationTime for the GW/IP2IP application or by 
the SBCProxyRegistrationTime parameter for SBC application. 
Web: Proxy Load Balancing 
Method 
EMS: Load Balancing Method 
[ProxySet_ProxyLoadBalancin
gMethod] 
Enables the Proxy Load Balancing mechanism per Proxy Set ID. 
  [0] Disable = Load Balancing is disabled (default) 
  [1] Round Robin 
  [2] Random Weights 
When the Round Robin algorithm is used, a list of all possible 
Proxy IP addresses is compiled. This list includes all IP 
addresses per Proxy Set, after necessary DNS resolutions 
(including NAPTR and SRV, if configured). After this list is 
compiled, the Proxy Keep-Alive mechanism (according to 
parameters EnableProxyKeepAlive and ProxyKeepAliveTime) 
tags each entry as 'offline' or 'online'. Load balancing is only 
performed on Proxy servers that are tagged as 'online'. 
All outgoing messages are equally distributed across the list of IP 
addresses. REGISTER messages are also distributed unless a 
RegistrarIP is configured. 
The IP addresses list is refreshed according to 
ProxyIPListRefreshTime. If a change in the order of the entries in 
the list occurs, all load statistics are erased and balancing starts 
over again. 
When the Random Weights algorithm is used, the outgoing 
requests are not distributed equally among the Proxies. The 
weights are received from the DNS server by using SRV records. 
The device sends the requests in such a fashion that each Proxy 
receives a percentage of the requests according to its' assigned 
weight. A single FQDN should be configured as a Proxy IP 
address. The Random Weights Load Balancing is not used in the 
following scenarios: 
  The Proxy Set includes more than one Proxy IP address. 
  The only Proxy defined is an IP address and not an FQDN. 
  SRV is not enabled (DNSQueryType). 
  The SRV response includes several records with a different 
Priority value. 
Web/EMS: Is Proxy Hot-Swap 
[ProxySet_IsProxyHotSwap] 
Enables the Proxy Hot-Swap redundancy mode per Proxy Set. 
  [0] No (default) 
  [1] Yes 
If Proxy Hot-Swap is enabled, the SIP INVITE/REGISTER 
message is initially sent to the first Proxy/Registrar server. If there 
is no response from the first Proxy/Registrar server after a 
specific number of retransmissions (configured by the parameter
