Installation & Operation Manual 31. Configuring the MGCP/MEGACO Protocols
31.8.2 Configuring Media Gateway Controller
The Media Gateway Controller configuration consists of two major parts:

Configuring generic Media Gateway Controller settings

Configuring Media Gateway Controller IP/FQDN addresses
When “IP Address” MGC addressing mode is used, up to 10 MGC IP addresses may
be defined (for each Virtual Gateway). Priority of the IP addresses is specified via the
'Activity Order' parameter – the lower the Activity Order value, the higher the priority.
When the “FQDN” MGC addressing mode is used, only one MGC FQDN address may
be defined (for each Virtual Gateway).
It is impossible to directly modify the administrative state of the Media Gateway
Controller (i.e. lock or unlock it). Instead, associate it with specific Media Gateway
boards (as described in 'Associating Media Gateway Controller with Media Gateway
Boards' on page 288) and lock/unlock the latter. The Media Gateway Controller’s
Administrative state will be updated as follows:

If at least one associated Media Gateway board is unlocked, MGC is unlocked.

If all associated Media Gateway boards are locked, MGC is locked.
 To configure the generic Media Gateway Controller settings:
