Survivable Remote Site Telephony
Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) ensures that basic phone functions remain accessible when WAN
connectivity is lost. In this scenario, the phone can keep an in-progress call active, and the user can access a
subset of the features available. When failover occurs, the user receives an alert message on the phone.
