Graceful Disable

The DISI command in LD 32 can be used to disable the Voice Gateway
Media Card gateway channels when they become idle. This command
removes gateway call traffic from a Voice Gateway Media Card; however,
it does not remove the IP Phones registered to the Voice Gateway Media
Card. Even after the gateway channels are disabled, all IP Phones
registered to the card are impacted when the card is unplugged or reset.
Also, if a Voice Gateway Media Card or Signaling Server is the node Master
when it is removed, the IP Phone registration service is interrupted until the
next election occurs.

a card-level CLI command that disables the LTPS service on the Voice
Gateway Media Card or Signaling Server.

release their active call.
