Before you restore service data, you must take the Media Application Server
out of service (locked and offline). You can immediately lock the MAS and
then stop it; however, if there are active service sessions on the MAS when
it is locked, the sessions are immediately taken down as well. Because of
this, Nortel recommends that you place the MAS in the pending lock state
first, to allow existing service sessions to end. After the active sessions end,
the MAS is placed in the locked state and stopped.
