R-Series


R-Series §  The R-Series appliances failover appliances for up to 8 PSTN circuits

§  Supports digital (T1/E1/PRI/BRI) or analog

§  Solution for high availability applications where phone service to employees is critical such as call centers and sales offices

§  The R-Series integrates with software to mirror Asterisk configuration files, manages the transition of a shared IP address and monitors system health between the primary and standby

§  Immediate recovery of all PBX functions and services (voice mail, phone registrations, etc)


R-Series Pricing and Part Numbers

§  Part Numbers: –  1R800F: 8 Port Analog –  1R850F: 8 Port Digital (T1/E1/PRI/BRI)

§  List Price –  1R800F: $995 –  1R850F: $995

§  Ship Dates: –  1R800F: December 7 –  1R850F: ??


How it Works!

§  A primary and standby server are clustered using 3rd party open source software packages. These packages are: –  Pacemaker: Monitors the health of the servers and Asterisk –  Corasync: When the primary fails Corasync starts the applications on the

standby server when it is promoted to primary

§  The R-Series utility (RCTL) interacts with

the cluster management

applications on each server

–  DRDB: Application for

mirroring of Asterisk

configuration files


How it Works!

§  If a hardware or software failure event occurs on the primary server, it will be removed from the cluster and the R-Series is instructed to move the PSTN circuits to the standby

§  The standby server

assumes the role of primary without loss of services such as voice mail,

phone registrations,

etc.


R-Series FAQ’s

§ Can the R-Series offer complete redundant failover system? – Yes, and requires two Asterisk servers

§ Can T1/E1/BRI be mixed through a R-Series? – Yes

§ Does the solution mirror the Asterisk configuration files of the primary to the standby at all times? – Yes

§ When the primary server hardware or software fails, will the standby server automatically take over communications? – Yes

§ Does the system automatically switch the PSTN circuits back when the primary is once again operational? – No, the primary will rejoin the server cluster and become the standby


R-Series FAQ’s

§ How are add-on licenses such as G.729 and Fax for Asterisk handled between the primary and secondary? Will the primary licenses work on the secondary? –  The secondary will need to have it’s own licenses for add-on software

and registered with Digium when the standby server is configured

§ Does the R-Series have a GUI? – No, the unit does not have a GUI

§ What are the “Passthrough” ports on the units used for? –  These ports are reserved for future use

§ Will the R-Series work with Switchvox? – Not at this time
