Network fault management strategy

The system handles network fault management through the reporting of alarms and logs. RTP Media Portal alarms and logs are viewed from the System Management Console. (See the MCP System Management Console Basics for further details related to alarms and logs.)

Fault tolerance

The RTP Media Portal provides base capabilities that significantly improve the performance and reliability of the system in the event of a fault. These capabilities include:

Dynamic Pool Registration

provides the basic mechanism that ensures resource availability and utilization in the event of a SIP Application Module failure. This function works in tandem with SIP Application Module redundancy to ensure that RTP Media Portal resources continue to be used in the event of a SIP Application Module failure. The RTP Media Portal is configured to “pre-register” its availability with the Standby SIP Application Module. This configuration enables the Standby SIP Application Module to immediately begin utilization of the RTP Media Portal for session requests
