Failover to a Session Manager

After a phone successfully fails over to a secondary Session Manager, all features and functionality work properly for new calls. However, there are limitations to modify a preserved call.

Failover to a Branch Session Manager

After a phone successfully fails over to Branch Session Manager, the value of the parameter FAILBACK_POLICY changes to Admin. In this case, you must go to the System Manager and manually re-register the phone with Session Manager.

Note:

Administration of Session Manager and Branch Session Manager nodes are explicitly required in the System Manager user record.
