Avaya Wireless DECT Master Base Station Resilience

Last Updated : Nov 21, 2023 |

Each Avaya Wireless DECT system includes a configured as the master base station. Base station mirroring allows two base stations to be configured as the master. Whilst only one is active master, the other becomes active if the existing master becomes unavailable.

For base station resiliency, two base stations are configured to function as 'mirrored' master base stations. One becomes the active master whilst the other becomes a standby master. If for any reason, the active master base station becomes unavailable, the standby master base station becomes the active master and continues DECT operation.

  • The standby master base station is still able to handle call connections in the same way as normal base stations.

  • Mirroring is not supported between compact and non-compact base stations. However, it is supported between a DECT Gateway and non-compact base station.

  • Base station mirroring and DECT trunk resilience can be combined.

When Does DECT Master Failover Occur?

The standby master regularly polls the active master. If the active master becomes invisible for some reason, the standby master automatically becomes the active master.

When Does DECT Master Failback Occur?

When the active master is available again, it resumes control, and the other base station returns to being the standby master.
