AltiGen comm ACM 5.1 manual Adding a Server to a VoIP Domain, Changing the Server ID Length

Chapter 25: Enterprise VoIP Network Management

Changing the Server ID Length

The Server ID is used for the following two purposes:

•Identifying member systems in the VoIP domain

•Mapping to a remote system's IP address in the IP dialing table for system-to-system dialing

Depending on the number of systems that will be added to the VoIP domain and the number of entries in the IP dialing table, the Server ID Length can be set to 1, 2, or 3 digits.

Caution! The Server ID Length can be changed. However, if this number is changed, the server IDs are all altered. If you increase the length, the number 0 is added to the front of the server IDs. For example, if you change the length from 2 to 3, original ID 02 and 27 will become 002 and 027 respectively. If you change the length from 3 to 2, the original IDs 112 and 311 will become 12 and 11. It is advisable to keep the original length. If you are not sure about future expansion, using a 3-digit length is advised.

Adding a Server to a VoIP Domain

Important: Before you add a server to the domain, you need to make sure that the System ID (specified in AltiWare Administrator, System Configuration tab) is not the same as another member server’s System ID. AltiEnterprise Manager will use the System ID to build a unique identifier in the multisite database. Once a server is joined to a domain, you cannot change the System ID in AltiWare Administrator.
