The MultiVOIP will not serve as a survivable gatekeeper for IP phones on the other side of the wan link.
If the WAN link goes down, the MultiVOIP will try to register six times with the Primary Communication Manager Gatekeeper at
While in gatekeeper survivability mode, the MultiVOIP checks for the availability of the primary Communication Manager gatekeeper every
If the MultiVOIP is not configured as an alternate gatekeeper, and none of the Primary, Alternate #1, or Alternate #2 CM gatekeepers respond, the MultiVOIP will enter gateway survivable mode (if enabled) and will process calls according to it’s inbound and outbound phone books. In gateway survivable mode, the MultiVOIP will check for the availability of the primary Communication Manager gatekeeper according to the Switching Time Interval programmed into the Communication Manager Parameters screen of the MultiVOIP configuration. The MultiVOIP will exit gateway survivability mode if it is able to register with the Primary CM gatekeeper. Gateway survivability mode is enabled by checking the “Enable Survivability Mode” checkbox in the Communication Manager Parameters screen. If IP phone survivability is required, you must enable gatekeeper survivability mode instead by configuring the MultiVOIP as one of the alternate #1 or alternate #2 gatekeepers.
The following Avaya IP Phone models are supported in gatekeeper survivable mode:
4601 | 4602 | 4606 | 4610 | 4612 | 4620 | 4621 | 4622 | 4624 | 4625 |
