INTRODUCTION High Availability feature on Grandstream UCM6300 series/UCM6300 Audio series provides enterprises a reliable solution for PBX redundancy and failover support. In HA setup, there are two UCM with one UCM in “active” role and the other in “standby” role. The two UCM must be the same model and use the same firmware version.
