Connecting Multiple Call Servers

Two or more Call Servers can be connected to create one system where one will act as the Primary Call
Server and all Call Servers connected to the Primary Call Server become Secondary Call Servers. This can
be via the LAN or via a WAN link.

Initial considerations

On power up, by default, each Call Server will use 192.168.0.1 as its IP address and act as a DHCP Server.
If this feature is not required because, for example, 192.168.0.1 is already being used and another DHCP
Server exists on the network do not connect the new Call Server to the network until this default
configuration has been changed as described in the Configuring a Call Server section from page 10. It is
recommended that the IP address of a secondary call server is outside the address range given out by the
DHCP Server.
Linking two Call Servers across a LAN
1 Ensure you are running the same version of software at both ends.
2 On the Primary Call Server:
a In Manager select Modules and select the Call Server from the list
b You may wish to give the Call Server a unique name to help identify this Call Server eg Primary
Call Server
c Select the Call Server page and note the Administration Mode field is set to Primary
3 On the Secondary Call Server:
a Power up the Secondary Call Server
b This Call Server must have a unique IP address and be on the same network as the Primary Call
Server, as discussed in the Initial Considerations above.
c You may wish to the rename the Call Server to help identify this Call Server, eg Secondary Call
Server.
d Power down your Call Server, as described on page 282.
