Method for monitoring and reporting events by media gateways

Abstract

A method for monitoring and reporting events by media gateways comprising presetting the events in the media gateways, monitoring the preset events by the media gateways and reporting the monitoring result to a media gateway controller during operation. The events can include: off-hook, on-hook, dialing, hook flash, network fault, quality alarm, and timer timeout, etc. By presetting the events in the media gateways, a system problem of the media gateways not receiving the events issued by the media gateway controller for various reasons can be avoided. The media gateways can automatically monitor and report the preset events after start up, thereby, improving stability of the system.
