Multisite Network
In a Multisite Network (MSN), there should be at least one IP Office with Preferred Edition (two if they employ
resiliency). Currently all the different types of users in multisite network have the same functionalities,
independent of where the Preferred Edition is installed. The objective is to keep this behavior in the future
without changing the current way MSNs are implemented.
When in a multisite network, if there is one or more Preferred Edition installed in one of the IP Offices, all the IP
Offices in the multisite network will consider themselves to have a Preferred Licenses as pre-requisites for
Power User, Teleworker, Mobile Worker, and Office worker. They can also organize Meet-Me conferences. To
have Preferred Edition installed on an IP Office, it is still required to have a local Preferred Edition license. In
case the IP Office with Preferred Edition is down, the rest will still have the same behavior as above.
Advanced Edition requires Preferred Edition as a pre-requisite. If the multisite network IP Offices consider
themselves as having an Advanced Edition license, Advanced Edition can have agents and/or supervisors in
different IP Offices.
If there is one or more Advanced Edition installed in one of the IP Offices, all the IP Offices in the multisite
network will consider themselves to have an Advanced License as pre-requisite to Advanced Edition agents or
supervisor licenses. To have Advanced Edition installed on an IP Office, it is still required to have a local
Advanced Edition license. In case the IP Office with Advanced Edition is down, the rest will still have the same
behavior as above.
It is acceptable that the implementation can have the following restrictions:
The actual Preferred and Advanced Edition licenses are required to be installed on the same IP Office in
