Note:

If the Enable Policy Based Assignment of Session Managers field on the Elements > Session Manager > Global Settings page is not enabled, the system displays the Primary Session Manager and Secondary Session Manager fields similar to the Release 8.1.x and earlier system.

Primary Session Manager

The instance that you want to use as the home server for the currently displayed communication profile. As a home server, the selected primary Session Manager instance is used as the default access point for connecting devices associated with the communication profile to the Avaya Aura® network. You must select the primary Session Manager server.

Secondary Session Manager

The Session Manager instance that you select as the secondary Session Manager. It provides continued service to SIP devices associated with this communication profile when the primary Session Manager server becomes unavailable. This is an optional field.

All the four Session Manager values must be unique.

For example, if you select the same Session Manager server instance in the Secondary Session Manager field as the Primary Session Manager field, the system displays the following error message:

The Secondary Session Manager cannot be the same as the Primary Session Manager.

Third Session Manager

The Session Manager instance that you select as the third Session Manager. It provides continued service to SIP devices associated with this communication profile when the primary or the secondary Session Manager server becomes unavailable. This is an optional field.

You must select the value of the Session Manager servers as per the order of display.

For example, if you select the third Session Manager value before the secondary Session Manager, the system displays the following error message:

Selection of Session Managers should be as per their order of display. Select Secondary Session Manager before Third Session Manager.

Fourth Session Manager

The Session Manager instance that you select as the fourth Session Manager. It provides continued service to SIP devices associated with this communication profile when the primary, secondary, or third Session Manager server becomes unavailable. This is an optional field.

Primary Region

The Session Manager region that you select as the primary region. You must select the primary region of the Session Manager server.

You can create the regions on the Elements > Session Manager > Session Manager Administration > Groups > Session Manager Groups page.

You must select the value of regions as per the order of display.

For example, if you select the secondary region value before the primary region, the system displays the following error message:

Selection of regions should be as per their order of display. Select Primary Region before Secondary Region.

Secondary Region

The Session Manager region that you select as the secondary region. This is an optional field.

Note:
  • If you select the same region for the primary and secondary regions, then there must be a minimum of two Session Managers in that region.

  • If you select 4 different regions, then there must be a minimum of 1 Session Manager in each region.

If you select the same region and the region does not have sufficient Session Managers, the system displays the following error message:

<Secondary Region> - <Name_of_the_Region> the assigned regions must contain enough SMs to satisfy the Primary/Secondary/Third/Fourth region selection count.

Third Region

The Session Manager region that you select as the third region. This is an optional field.

Fourth Region

The Session Manager region that you select as the fourth region. This is an optional field.

Survivability Server

For local survivability, you can specify a survivability server. The server provides survivability communication services to devices associated with a communication profile, when the local connectivity to Session Manager instances in Avaya core is lost. If you select Branch Session Manager, and the termination and origination application sequences contain a Communication Manager application, sequencing to this application continues, locally, to Communication Manager survivable remote server. This survivable remote server is resident with the Branch Session Manager selected. A selection is optional.

Note:

If a termination or origination application sequence contains a Communication Manager application, the Communication Manager instance associated with the application must be the main server for the Communication Manager survivable remote server that resides with Branch Session Manager.

After typing a minimum of 3 characters, wait for three seconds to capture the final keyword and fetch the required results.

Max. Simultaneous Devices

The maximum number of endpoints that you can register at a time by using this communication profile. If you register more than one endpoint, all the endpoints receive calls simultaneously.

Block New Registration When Maximum Registrations Active

If you select the check box, the system denies any new registrations with Session Manager when an endpoint attempts to register using this communication profile after the registration requests exceed the administered limit. The system sends a warning message and stops the SIP service to the endpoint.

If you clear the check box, the system accepts the new registration and unregisters the endpoint with the oldest registration. However, if the endpoint with the oldest registration is active on a call, then the system does not affect the call and keeps that device registered for that call only.

Origination Application Sequence

The application sequence the system invokes when routing calls from this user. A selection is optional.

Note:

If you specify origination and termination application sequences, and if each sequence contains a Communication Manager application, Communication Manager must be the same in both the sequences.

Termination Application Sequence

The application sequence invoked when the system routes calls to this user. A selection is optional.

Note:

If you specify origination and termination application sequences, and if each sequence contains a Communication Manager application, Communication Manager must be the same in both the sequences.

Use the Session Manager > Application Configuration > Conference Factories page to administer the Conference Factory Sets.
