System configuration
Install all Nortel Mobile Communication 3100 Series Portfolio software
components (Mobile Communication Gateway Server, Group Call Server,
Group Call Database, and Administration Server) on a single supported

behind the corporate firewall.
If two supported COTS servers are available, configure them with identical
software components. This configuration strategy provides redundancy. If
a server component fails or becomes inaccessible, users can restart their
