status
Specifies whether the Expressway monitors the status of the zone's peers.
If enabled, H.323 LRQs and/or SIP OPTIONS are periodically sent to the
peers. If a peer fails to respond, that peer is marked as inactive. If all peers
fail to respond the zone is marked as inactive.

Off: a SIP OPTIONS or SIP INFO message is sent.
On: searches are responded to automatically, without being forwarded.
This should normally be left as the default Off. However, some systems do
not accept SIP OPTIONS messages, so for these zones it must be set to
On. If you change this to On, you must also configure pattern matches to
ensure that only those searches that actually match endpoints in this zone
are responded to. If you do not, the search will not continue to other lower-
priority zones, and the call will be forwarded to this zone even if it cannot
support it.
