Abstract
Media gateways contain endpoints on which the Call Agent can create,
modify and delete connections in order to establish and control media
sessions with other multimedia endpoints. Also, the Call Agent can
instruct the endpoints to detect certain events and generate signals.
The endpoints automatically communicate changes in service state to
the Call Agent. Furthermore, the Call Agent can audit endpoints as
well as the connections on endpoints.
