Dear All,

My Concern is can we have Redundancy between two IPoffices incase if one failed or goes down still you can receive calls and dial outbound calls.

Does IP Office support any failover protocol or what is the best way to implement like this scenario?


many thanks
 
if you are looking for a full redundant system i would go with a S8500 with a G350 and S83000 as backup.

you can look in the definity forum for more info.
 
You can set up IPO with redundancy, but it is kind of a tweak. First you need to use 46xx IP phones. These phones need to get their configuration from a DHCP server. The DHCP server can set a fallback system for the phones, so if the first IPO fails they will connect to the second one. However, when the first IPO comes back, they will not register with it until they are rebooted, so they will work with the second IPO until it fails too.

Of course you need lines on both IPO's and you need to update everything on both IPO's. It's a messy configuration, you better use a system that can do it natively. Avaya's enterprise solutions (S8x00 series) support it in different ways, but they cost allot more.
