Figure 3. Redundancy Administration window shows the status of both systems
Current Status: shows which server is in control. Shows the time of the last switchover
and the reason for the switchover.
Primary System and Secondary System: shows the status of the two systems. If a
server is running, the Switching Service field displays "Up". If a direct service is not
detectable, this field displays "Down". Shows which server is in control and shows the
replication status. When replication is complete, the replication status shows "Updated".
Voice Mail Server: shows the connection between the active system and the voice mail
server. It can be "Available" or "Unavailable".
Fields at the bottom show the IP address(es) shared by the two systems and the current
connected server's IP address. If you open the window from the primary server's
MaxAdmin, the address shown is the primary server's IP address, and if you open it from
the secondary server, it is the secondary server's IP address.

Configuring the NICs

Both the primary and secondary Softswitches use two NICs (one for sharing and one for
redundancy control). Configure each of the four NICs as follows:
1. Go to Control Panel > Network Connections. Right-click on a NIC card and
choose Properties. Double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
2. On the General tab of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box,
click Use the following IP address.
