Figure 18: ATM - single ESS server first takeover scenario
In the second takeover example (see Figure 19), the customer experiences a network failure.
Communication between the Main server and Port Networks 1 through 3 has not been affected
by the outage. The IPSIs in Port Network 4 and Port Network 5 can no longer communicate with
the Main server. The no service timer activates. When the no service timer expires the IPSIs in
Port Networks 4 and 5 request service from the S8500 ESS server.
