Configuring a card as a node Leader

A Voice Gateway Media Card remains at the default “Follower” setting in a CS 1000E system. A Signaling Server is the IP telephony node Leader.

In an IP telephony node without a Signaling Server, one of the Voice Gateway Media Cards must be configured as a Leader. If this is your configuration, see the IP Line: Description, Installation, and Operation (553-3001-365) for a detailed configuration procedure.

Normally, Voice Gateway Media Cards default as Followers. If you need to configure a Voice Gateway Media Card as a Follower, see the IP Line: Description, Installation, and Operation (553-3001-365) for a detailed configuration procedure.
