<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>What you are referring to is totally dependant
on the phone registration time (read: the phone itself [manufacturer]). I
have Cisco phones that re-register in 30 seconds regardless of original
registration server presence and I have Polycom phones that register every 5
min, only if the original registration server is NOT there.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I have been fighting this issue but have
not come up with a viable solution just yet. If I reduce the registration
time, to say, 10 seconds, some phones will not be able to do this (Polycom).
Others, like the Cisco will initiate a lot of un-wanted network traffic every
10 seconds.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>It’s not so much an issue of when a
server fails and the phone can not make outbound calls, the phone will immediately
send traffic to a backup proxy if a user wants to make a call during the
registration cycle and server failure as long as the phone has a backup proxy
specified. The real issue is when a registration server fails, inbound
calls to any phone registered on the server will not be processed (maybe
voicemail) until the phones re-register to another registration server and
their route becomes available within the cluster again.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I have not tried SER, only because a lot of
my clients use IAX and this network will be complicated enough without having
to manage 2 different registration systems, SER for SIP and Asterisk for
IAX. I will pound this issue until I find the answer or realize it just
can not be done with Asterisk.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

This is Ron, the one sho originally started this thread on the mailing list.<br>
<br>
Ive been keeping up with all the replies, and it seems like you have it
working, but I hope you can answer a few questions of mine.<br>
<br>
The phone gets registered to one server, my question is, if you say
"kill" the server that phone is registered to, would it then
automagically attempt to re register to on one of the other * boxes, or do you
know what would happen. <br>
<br>
I know this can be done, im setting up 3 test boxes this weekend, and am going
to experment, also with SER involved to handle registratiosn, unless I get * to
do it all for me in a efficcinet way.<br>
<br>
Any info on this would be great!<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Ron<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
