Step-by-Step Guide to Fail Over Connection/Service

NOTE: Fail over connection/service can be set only when we use multiple IP authentications in a single SIP Connection. 

Please follow the steps to setup the fail-over service:

  1.  Goto "SIP Connections" tab on the portal.

  2. Create a new connection "Add SIP Connection".

  3. Enter the details and add both the IP's which you want to use. One will be primary IP address and second one is the secondary.

NOTE: You can set the priority between or more IP's by using "Set Priority"

4. After adding the IP's, please click on "Save All Changes". This will save the configuration of the connection.

NOTE: You can set the priority between or more IP's by using "Set Priority"
