Select the Protocol used to initiate the search, either H.323 or SIP. The search may be interworked during the
search process, but the Expressway always uses the native protocol first to search those target zones and
policy services associated with search rules at the same priority, before searching those zones again using the
alternative protocol.

Optionally, you can enter a Source alias. Typically, this is only relevant if the routing process uses CPL that
has rules dependent on the source alias. (If no value is specified a default alias of

Click Locate to start the search.
The status bar shows Searching... followed by Search completed. The results include the list of zones that
were searched, any transforms and Call Policy that were applied, and if found, the zone in which the alias was

The locate process performs the search as though the Expressway received a call request from the selected Source
zone. For more information, see the

Port Usage
The pages under the Maintenance > Tools > Port usage menu show, in table format, all the IP ports that have been
configured on the Expressway.

The information shown on these pages is specific to that particular Expressway and varies depending on the
Expressway's configuration, the option keys that have been installed and the features that have been enabled.

The information can be sorted according to any of the columns on the page, so for example you can sort the list by IP

Each page contains an Export to CSV option. This lets you save the information in a CSV (comma separated values)
format file suitable for opening in a spreadsheet application.

Note that IP ports cannot be configured separately for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, nor for each of the two LAN
interfaces. In other words, after an IP port has been configured for a particular service, for example SIP UDP, this will
apply to all IP addresses of that service on the Expressway. Because the tables on these pages list all IP ports and all
IP addresses, a single IP port may appear on the list up to 4 times, depending on your Expressway configuration.

Local Inbound Ports
The Local inbound ports page (Maintenance > Tools > Port usage > Local inbound ports) shows the listening IP
ports on the Expressway that are used to receive inbound communications from other systems.

For each port listed on this page, if there is a firewall between the Expressway and the source of the inbound

return traffic from that same Expressway IP port back out to the source of the inbound communication.
