Recommended MAS design...?

[98Converter]

Our environment is very voicemail sensitive, and cannot go w/o even for a short period of time.

We are looking at a design with a single MAS, but noticed today when we lose the T1 to the PBX, coverage rings to a busy... Is it then recommended to purchase multiple MAS's for redundancy?

Thanks,

It would be better to have 2 mas's each with a T-1 in it. That way you can take one down and the other will still take calls

Is it possible to load balance these? Will they recognize if the circuit or machine is down to route to the other machine - or is that done the PBX?

Yes you can do that but it is on the PBX side. If the one MAS is off line the T-1 will be down so the calls would go to the one that is up
