switch to either a Main server or ESS server, a level 2 restart is initiated on the
Port Network. Service will be interrupted to the entire Port Network. Note that
shuffled IP to IP calls will not be dropped but during the restart they will not have
any access to features (Hold, Transfer, Conference, etc.).
7. When the Main server(s) and network are operational and stable, schedule or initiate an
on demand switch back of Port Networks to the Main server. At the Main server use
these commands:

Note:
When a Port Network, that is providing control for other sub-tending Port
Networks (via an ATM Expansion Interface) switches to a media server, the other
sub-tending Port Networks may or may not end up being controlled by the same
server. All IPSI controlled Port Network(s) in the configuration will vie for control
of the sub-tending Port Networks. The only way to guarantee that ATM
Expansion Interface controlled Port Networks will be controlled by the same
server, is if all IPSI controlled Port Networks are controlled by that same server.
