IP telephony node configuration

An IP telephony node is a grouping of Voice Gateway Media Cards (and Signaling Servers), regardless of the location of the Voice Gateway Media Cards in the MG 1000S. Therefore, several MG 1000S can belong to the same node. Alternately, each MG 1000S can have its own node.

Each IP telephony node can be configured with the IP address of an Alternate Call Server, to which it registers if the Call Server is unavailable.

Note: The Alternate Call Server is an MG 1000S SSC that is configured as survivable.
