§ 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)

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
42. 42Creative Innovation – Customer Satisfaction – Continual Quality Improvement
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
44. 44Creative Innovation – Customer Satisfaction – Continual Quality Improvement
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
