Redundant System Configuration
Note:
Not relevant to the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200/400.
This section describes the redundancy feature in the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 and Spec-
tralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One. You will find a description of how to design, configure and
administer a redundant Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500/Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One
solution including a master and a backup server.
The redundancy feature of the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500/Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT
Server One solution allows adding a backup server to the system, offering both better availability and
better performance due to load balancing. By adding a backup server, the most critical failure point of
the system is eliminated, allowing the system to continue running and provide service to the users,
even when a server fails. Any active calls or sessions handled by the failed component will however
be lost.
The redundancy feature is designed to be as non-intrusive as possible. Except for a few simple
redundancy options, configuration and administration of a redundant solution is not different from a
single server solution. All configurations are executed on the master server, and everything is presen-
ted in the same familiar menus. Configuration data and statistics are automatically propagated
between all the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500/Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One entities,
e.g. base stations, media resources and server.
Note:
If a third party application is connected to the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500/Spec-
tralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One, e.g. a messaging application or a nurse call applic-
ation, this application must connect to the master Spectralink IP-DECT Server
6500/Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One.
In case of a failure in the master server, the application will not be able to communicate
with the handsets unless the application is designed for redundancy.
