ESS Overview
40 Avaya Enterprise Survivable Servers (ESS) Users Guide
There is a catastrophic failure that occurs on the S8710 Main server (see Figure 12). The Port
Networks can no longer communicate with the Main server. The IPSIs in Port Networks 1, 3, 4,
and 5, request service from the S8500 ESS server after the no service timer expires. ESS does
not utilize CSS, therefore Port Network 2 and the CCS located in Port Network 3 is
out-of-service.
