Configuring a Backup Outbound Proxy
To configure this feature an Administrator can set the following parameters in the configuration files or the Aastra Web
UI:
SIP Outbound Enabled and
backup proxy and backup registrar configured, • Establishes flow to the primary proxy and registrar.
• If the flow to the primary registrar fails, the phone:
– establishes flow to the backup registrar.
– registers to the backup registrar.
– attempts to reestablish flow to the primary registrar in the background.
– When the primary registrar comes back up, the phone unregisters from the backup
and registers with the primary.
• If the flow to the primary proxy fails, the phone:
– establishes flow to the backup proxy.
– registers the new AOR with the active registrar.
– moves subscriptions to the backup proxy.
– attempts to reestablish the flow to the primary proxy in the background.
• When the flow to the primary proxy is reestablished, the phone:
– registers the primary AOR to the active registrar.
– moves subscriptions to the primary proxy.
– unregisters/unsubscribes from the backup proxy/registrar.
