You need a second public ipaddress for the 2nd sipxbridge. You will also need a second itsp account if you use registration. Ask the itsp if they support failover on incoming calls from one account to the other. ============================ Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 Fax: 434.984.8431

We are exclusively using sip trunks for all our implementations. We are not using IP/PSTN gateways. First i tried implementing it using integrated high availability solution, which while it works internally, the secondary server cannot make outside calls. I've tried making that work, but i am unable to start SipX bridge service (don't know how). I found instructions for manual HA but was unable to find the files mentioned there for stopping those services. I assume its probably due to those instructions being for an older version(3.8, 3.10). I've also tried doing it in another way, basically installing 2 separate SipX machines, then creating similar settings on both of them (same users and setup, different name and ip). Then i added a script on my router(mikrotik) that changes port forwarding and blocks several ports depending on server availability. The script is pretty simple, basicaly making a ping to main server, and if it has no response, switches ports to secondary server. The script is switching Sip Trunk from 1 server to the other. On the IP phone i created 2 user accounts, 1 for each server, and this solution works. The problem here is i'd like to use a single account for both servers. Part of the phones we need to implement have only one account. I figured out how to set up dns to work, but the account won't register on secondary server. I assume it's due to different server name, and since this solution works on HA, i think i should be able to make this work. I probably need to replicate (or setup) Sip registrar but don't know how. How does this work in High Availability? Basicaly i need to get one of this solutions to work, and both are similar with a failure at different locations. Thus i believe this should work, if i can either get the bridge up and running on secondary server in high availability(and then using script on router for port forwarding), or registrar in the secondary solution.
