High reliability when sending voice bearer
over IP
The high-reliability configuration option builds on the duplex-reliability option. The high-reliability
option duplicates components so that no single point of failure exists in the control network. The high-
reliability configuration consists of the following:
• Two S8700 Media Servers
• Two Ethernet switches (on customer’s network)
• Two UPS units
• Two IPSI circuit packs in each IPSI-connected port network
See Figure 6, High-reliability when sending voice bearer over IP,
on page 17 for an example of a high-
reliability configuration when sending voice bearer over IP.
