Adding Redundancy to an Existing 5.0A Server

To add redundancy to an existing 5.0A server, follow the procedures for
initial device setup ("Initial Device Setup" on page 23-2) and setting up a
secondary server ("At the Secondary Server:" on page 23-4), then
configure redundancy to both primary and secondary system.

Bootup/Shut Down Procedures

If it's necessary to shut down both systems, it's better to disable their
"Automatic switch over" feature, then it doesn't matter about the sequence
of both systems shutdown and bootup.

Board/Hardware Level Configuration

All boards of the secondary system must have the same physical ID as those
of the primary system.
Board configuration is not replicated to the secondary system, so the boards
need to be configured on both systems. It doesn't matter which server is
configured first.
In ACM Admin, dialog boxes, which are invoked from the following
locations, are for board-level configuration:
• Boards View
• Line Properties on the General tab of Extension Configuration
• Trunk Properties in the General tab of Trunk Configuration
Some board level configuration changes require rebooting the AltiServ
system. For example, changing a T1 board to PRI, or changing a VoIP
board from 12 ports to 30 ports requires rebooting the system.

CT-BUS Clock Master

AltiGen recommends that you always use the "Auto" option for the CT-
Bus clock setting.
