18.1 Redundant System
Note:
Early versions of the VoIP Gateway do not support redundancy. Check the MAC
address of the VoIP Gateway and contact your supplier for information.
A redundant system requires two VoIP Gateways and the use of the LDAP protocol. The
standby VoIP Gateway always has an updated database and takes over the function in the
event of a failure of the master VoIP Gateway.
The standby PBX Application registers at the active master PBX Application. All user data is
simultaneously replicated via the LDAP protocol. This ensures that both systems are always
on the same level. The standby VoIP Gateway does not accept any registrations as long as
the master VoIP Gateway is available. The PBX Application in the standby VoIP Gateway,
will start accepting the registrations within 2 minutes from the failure of the master VoIP
Gateway.
The VoIP clients checks its registration with the master VoIP Gateway every second minute.
This means that if the master VoIP Gateway goes down the VoIP clients will register at the
standby VoIP Gateway within three minutes.

Note:
Both gateways must have the same configuration, passwords, licences, etc. except
the configuration of the PBX Application and the LDAP settings.
