Which models of Avaya phones for IP Office support secundary registration? 1

[Guilherme1000]

Hello,

I have an doubt.

Which models of Avaya phones for IP Office support secundary registration, I mean, in case of a first server fails, the second assume it and the phone keeps working? Does anybody has a documentation with a list of models?

Thank you

All models with the latest software if they are provided their IP settings through DHCP scope option

Read the installation docs for the IP Phoned you need info about.

The SIP phones below only R10. Those marked * have to be manually configued with the server addresses. And its done through communications other than DHCP these days.

Within scope option 176 or 242 there is a parameter MCIPADR which holds the IP Adres of the registrar, there can be upto three IP Addresses comma separated.
The order of registration goes from left to right, if the first fails the second will be used etc.
DECT R4 on latest software can have a secondary registrar ip address set as well.

You know what it's like when you get an brain-itch but can't find the answer. Finally found the details of how Avaya phones actually get their server settings, including failover server in order of precedence:

[ol 1]
[li]Manually set through the phone menus. [/li]
[li]From a PPM server (so not used in IP Office scenarios). [/li]
[li]Though the settings file. This is the primary method used for IP Office phones being supported using auto-generated settings files. The files automatically reflect the resilience line settings configured in the IP Office system. [/li]
[li]DHCP server options.[/li]
[/ol]

... and according to a colleague for H323 phones, IP Office passes failover server information as part of registration.

Yeah we've always just used the failover settings in IPO, phones will re-register without issue.

Only issue you have with using the auto failover registration through the phone system is if a phone has failed over and is then rebooted it will lose its knowledge of the secondary system it should refail over to whne it comes back up.

You can get around this by using 96xx handsets as even through a reboot they retain the failover information (something the 16xx handsets do not do).
