WARNING
The Call Server does not search for voice gateway channels in
Private Zones when the IP Phone is configured in a Shared Zone.
Only IP Phones configured in the same Private Zone can use the
Private Zone voice gateway channels.
Because the voice gateway channels in the Private Zone are not
accessible to IP Phones in the Shared Zone, ensure that only
enough private channels are configured to cover the IP Phones
in the Private Zone. Do not configure more channels than are
required in the Private Zone as the Shared Zone IP Phones
cannot access these channels.
a role change; that is, changing a Leader to Follower or changing
Follower to Leader
changing the node IP subnet masks or gateway IP addresses requires
a reboot of all cards in the node
changing the AudioPort parameter in the "config.ini" file on the Voice
Gateway Media Card requires a reboot of the card
changing the IP address of a particular card so it can retrieve its new IP

If the active Call Server ELAN link configuration data is changed (for

If the nonactive Call Server is changed (for example, survivable-side IP
address), then the calls are not affected.
