Hi. I have recently installed a second IPSI card into each of my two port networks. I thought that if one IPSI failed it would automatically switch to the second IPSI in the port network. I peformed a test where I connected a call and disconnected the first IPSI , after 30 secs the call disconnected and the port network did not switch over to the second IPSI resulting an outage for the whole port network . Is this normal ? I have configured all IPSI's the same and can see no reason why this should happen, any advice would be great !
 
It's not as simple as plugging it in.

1) You need to be running with S87xx media servers to use dual IPSI

2) One IPSI in cabinet A, Slot 1 and one in Cabinet B, slot 1

3) One IPSI is configured for your control network A subnet the other is configured on control network B

4) You need to enable the IPSI duplication in Communication Manager (change ipserv x to setup the IP Addressing, change sys dup to enable the duplication).

Make sure the firmware is up-to-date or at least the same as the others.
