Asterisk is software installed on linux installed in a PC with a hard drive. When I say it might not come up after a power failure I don't mean Asterisk, I mean Linux. The hard drive might fail and you can kiss you system good bye.
Legacy PBXs don't have that problem. The configuration there is on NVRAM or Flash, and when the power comes back up it just loads and keeps working. A UPS for legacy PBX means that if the power outage is two minutes long, you can keep talking as if nothing happened. For Asterisk it's a must. -----Original Message----- From: David Brodbeck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 9:55 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] UPS for Asterisk > -----Original Message----- > From: Shoval Tomer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > That's not a problem. > The question is what happens when the power's restored. > > Can you go ahead and just start working or do you need to call the > technicians to come reconfigure the whole thing?

Surely Asterisk can be configured to start itself up when the system boots. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
