The document discusses Digium hardware options that are well-suited for use with Asterisk and describes Digium's line of IP phones that are designed specifically for integration with Asterisk. It provides details on Digium's D40, D50, and D70 phone models and how they directly access Asterisk features. It also outlines how Asterisk and AsteriskNOW can be configured to provision and communicate with Digium phones.

Creative Innovation – Customer Satisfaction – Continual Quality Improvement
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)

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. 42
Creative 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

Creative 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
