User's Manual 32. HA Configuration
32.1.2.1 Step 1: Configure the First Device
The first stage is to configure the first device for HA, as described in the procedure below:
Note: During this stage, ensure that the second device is powered off or
disconnected from the network.

To configure the first device for HA:
1. Cable the device to the necessary PSTN interfaces (e.g., E1/T1).
2. Configure the network interfaces, including the default OAMP interface:
a. Connect your PC to the device using a local, direct physical cable connection and
then access the Web interface using the default OAMP network address. For
more information on initial access, see Assigning the OAMP IP Address on page
29 .
b. Open the Interface table ( Configuration tab > VoIP menu > Network > IP
Interfaces Table ).
c. Change the default OAMP network settings to suite your networking scheme.
d. Configure the Control and Media network interfaces, as required.
e. Add the HA Maintenance interface (i.e., the MAINTENANCE Application Type).
Note: Make sure that the MAINTENANCE interface uses an Ethernet Port Group that
is not used by any other network interface. The Ethernet Port Group is associated
with the Ethernet Device assigned to the interface in the 'Underlying Device' field.
The Interface table below shows an example where the Maintenance interface is
assigned to Ethernet Device "vlan 2" (which is associated with Ethernet Port Group
"GROUP_2") in the 'Underlying Device' field, while the other interface is assigned to
"vlan 1" (associated with "GROUP_1"):
