Call Server Configuration

 

 

Edit Vertical Service Code Dialog Box

The Edit Vertical Service Code dialog box lets you edit a call forwarding or hunt group service invoked when callers dial the vertical service code (VSC) for that service followed by the alias. These services are included on the Prefix Service page and can’t be deleted. But you can disable them or change their names, descriptions, or VSCs (shown in the Prefix Range column of the Prefix Service page). If you change the VSCs, be sure to inform all users of the change.

The following table describes the fields in the dialog box.

Embedded DNS

In a superclustered configuration, the clusters that make up the supercluster automatically take over for each other in the event of an outage. In order to gain the full benefit of this feature, however, the endpoints that are registered to each cluster must re-register to a new cluster when the new cluster takes over.

This can be accomplished by specifying the gatekeeper or SIP proxy that each endpoint will register to as a site’s domain name, rather than an IP address. Then, when there is a failover, the DNS A record for that site’s domain name can be mapped to a different IP address, changing the Call Server that each endpoint is registered to.

The embedded DNS capability of the Polycom DMA system automates this procedure.
