[asterisk-users] Snom Phones Registration/Failover Feature

[Usman Tahir]

Hi Raimund,

snom uses basically the same concept. As explained under:
http://wiki.snom.com/Settings/user_failover_identity.

You select the line id that should be used when a registration fails.

 
Regards,
Usman

Hello Mailinglist,

i was reading a paper regarding a Asterisk clustering solution and  
they where pretty excited about a feature in polycom phones:

You can add a registration to a primary asterisk server
You can add a registration to a secondary asterisk server

The polycom phones will talk to the primary server as long as all goes  
well, If they have a problem with an INVITE, they automatically  
register to the secondary asterisk server and start using them. Every  
few seconds (I think it was 30) the phone tries again to register on  
the primary server, if this succeeds, it uses the primary again.

This is in my oppinion a pretty decent way of doing failover (reminds  
me of radius). It beats using Heartbeat and IP Takeover and all the  
hassle you (could) have with this solution.

I was reading in the documentation about the SNOM phones (mainly 300)  
but I did not find anything in the users-pdf's or on there  
knowledgebase/website which would tell me if this is possible, there  
is something for failover configuration but it is not explained at all.

It's highly appreciated if someone with insight could explain to me or  
point me to the right documentation on how/if this works with SNOM's.

Thank you,
best regards
