Adding and Attaching a Media Server

Caution!
Always try to attach a media server when call activity in the system is low. If
resources are being used in one of the media servers, ongoing calls may be
dropped.
To attach a media server to the MaxACD system, you must first add it to the list in the
Softswitch Component Configuration window.
To add a media server to the list:

a unique identifying number.
3. Specify a name for the media server that identifies it to you.
4. Select the type: Media Server.
5. Enter the IP address of the media server.
6. Create a password for this media server. The password is used for access to the
Gateway Configuration Tool for the media server.
After you add a media server to the list, you can attach it to the MaxACD system. Also,
you may have disconnected a media server that has already been attached. In either
case, you can attach it in the Softswitch Component Configuration window.
To attach a media server to the MaxACD system:
