So if I set ds_probing_mode to 0 ("only the gateways with state PROBING
are tested"), do I have to set state PROBING manually at startup for all
gateways? Or are gateways set to probing by default?

in ds_probing_mode=0 not any PROBING by default. if you just want to test your node after startup(and kamcmd dispatcher.reload), you may set state to "AP" (flag=8 in dispatcher table), Node will moved to "AX" if test OK (and stop pinging up to setting PROBING mode again via kamcmd or configuration script), or "IP" if test failed

if you want to test your node forever, set ds_probing_mode to 1

If I set it to "disabled", will it have an effect on calls that are
ongoing? For example DTMF sent via SIP info packets?

Usually dispatcher used only for initial requests, so indialog request will send to DX node. But it may be changed via config

Yes, I have it set to 1.

Good to know. Thanks.

I somehow overlooked "disabled" state.
What I really want it for new calls not to use a certain gateway any
more so I can take it down for maintenance once all calls have finished.

ongoing? For example DTMF sent via SIP info packets?
