[asterisk-users] AudioCodes MP-114 - SAS (Stand Alone Survivability) configuration
I have AudioCodes MP-114 and I'm trying to configure SAS (Stand Alone Survivability); when Asterisk is down the MediaPack gateway should forward the call IN/OUT through the gateway (without asterisk in the middle), but it is not working. I'm working with tech. support from the source I purchase the unit from they we are just emailing back and forth and the unit is still not working. Can anybody share settings how to configure "Stand Alone Survivability" mode in AudioCodes MP-1xx ? -- Joseph

[asterisk-users] AudioCodes MP-114 - SAS (Stand Alone Survivability) configuration
SOLVED! Correct me anybody if I'm wrong but I think SAS option is for WAN only not for the case if AudioCodes MP and Asterisk are on the same network. I was trying to configure the fail-over mode in scenarios: - Asterisk sever goes down (doesn't happen very often, never happened to me but it could) - hardware failure - power loss etc. (It seems to me Audiocodes caters MS and/or close source hardware; they have many "doc" files on their web-page but very little or none pertaining to Asterisk configuration with their hardware MediaPack), so here is my solution without going through 500-pages manual. So in the above cases the calls should go through IN or OUT without interuptions, Audiocodes MP can be configured for fail-over mode; my old Liksys 3102 CAN NOT, when power goes down and Linksys is up, the calls will not go through. Here is the relevant configuration for the above scenario: =================Protocol Configuration -> Proxies/IpGroups/Registration -> Proxy & Registration -> Use Default Proxy: NO Enable Fallback to Routing Table: Enable Prefer Routing Table: NO Enable Registration: Enable Registrar IP Address: 10.0.0.109 (enter IP address of the asterisk server, very important) Gateway Name: (none) Gateway Registration Name: (none) Subscription Mode: Per Endpoint User Name: (none) Password: Default_Passwd Cnonce: Default_Cnonce Authentication Mode: Per Endpoint Routing Tables -> Routing General Parameters -> Alt Routing Tel to IP Connectivity Method: SIP OPTION ; (in case asterisk and MP-114 are on the same network) Tel to IP Routing -> (your numbers and IP's will be different) Src. Trunk Group ID Dest. Phone Prefix Source Phone Prefix Dest. IP Address * 369 * 10.0.0.157 * * * 10.0.0.109 * * * 10.0.0.157 First line is for fax extension, there is no reason to forward it to asterisk, it should go directly to Hylafax (or your fax machine) regardless of asterisk status. Without playing/entering all internal extensions, second line directs all calls to Asterisk sever. Third line is for fail-over mode in case of Asterisk failure, power failure, all calls are directed via to MP-114 so calls go IN and OUT without interruption In addition to these setting user must configure: Routing Tables -> IP to Trunk Group Routing Endpoint Settings -> Authentication Endpoint Settings -> Automatic Dialing Endpoint Number -> EndPoint Phone Number Hunt Group -> Hunt Group Settings and Optionally: Manipulation Tables -> Dest Number IP->Tel ================== -- Joseph
