Administering Media Servers
CDR
●
The server initiates the connection to the CDR unit and sends call detail information over
the configured link. The link remains active at all times while the CDR unit waits for data to
be sent by a connected server. In the case of an ESS server or LSP, data will not be sent
until the survivable server becomes active. Some CDR units can collect data from multiple
servers in a configuration, separately or all at once. For information on the capability of your
CDR unit, check with your CDR vendor.
The CDR unit is administered on the
must be entered in the Local Node field.
AESVCS
●
AESVCS (Application Enablement Services) supports connectivity to a maximum of 16
servers. Since AESVCS cannot tell which server is active in a configuration, it must
maintain a constant connection to any server from which it might receive data. A media
server "listens" for AESVCS after it boots up. The AESVCS application establishes the
connection to the server.
If the adjunct terminates solely on the main server's PE interface, you do not have to
administer the
server, you must administer the Survivable Processor screen in addition to the IP
Services screen.
Using load balancing
You can load balance the H.323 endpoint traffic across multiple IP interfaces. The
screen contains the fields needed to load balance the IP interface.
Note:
The 4606, 4612, and 4624 telephones do not support the load balancing feature
Note:
of the TN2602AP circuit pack.
Use the following guidelines to load balance the H.323 endpoints:
1. Load balancing starts with placing the CLANs and the PE interface into a network region
using the Network Region field.
2. Within the network region, further load balancing is done by entering a priority in the
Gatekeeper Priority field. This field appears only if the Allow H.323 Endpoint field is set to
y. You can have more than one IP interface administered at the same value in the
Gatekeeper Priority field within a region. For example, you could have two CLANs
administered as a 1 in the Gatekeeper Priority field.
Valid values for the Gatekeeper Priority field range from 1 to 9, with 1 being the highest.
Within a network region, the system uses the highest Gatekeeper Priority IP interface first.
3. The number that is entered in the Target socket load or the Target socket load and
Warning level field is the maximum number of connections you want on the interface. A
socket represents a connection of an endpoint to the server. As endpoints connect, the load
balancing algorithms direct new registrations to interfaces that are less loaded. The current
