For Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0, IIS hangs when • Broadcast Server attempts to upload a large .wav file. This error is due to the lack of a defined limit on the Windows 2000 IIS 5.0 server, which does not terminate properly when the limit is exceeded. Workaround: Microsoft recommends an upgrade to Windows 2003 IIS 6.0 server to resolve this issue.
Workaround: To reconnect to the Application Gateway, either pick up the phone’s handset or reboot the phone.
