Evolution server

Last Updated : Nov 08, 2013 |

An evolution server is similar to the traditional Communication Manager server. The evolution server provides Communication Manager features to both SIP and non-SIP endpoints. The evolution server uses the full-call model. The evolution server connects to Session Manager through a non-IMS Signaling group. Session Manager handles call routing for SIP endpoints and enables SIP endpoints to communicate with all other endpoints that are connected to the evolution server.

If you configure Communication Manager as an evolution server:

  • H.323, digital, and analog endpoints register with Communication Manager.

  • SIP endpoints register with Session Manager.

  • All endpoints receive service from Communication Manager.

The evolution server supports a limited form of application sequencing.
