• It’s necessary to configure separate DHCP server in the local network where phones and gateways are connected
• Changes to configurations of the PBX which synchronizes its configuration from another one will be lost after each sync, Admin should apply all changes only on the source PBX

• Call group with ‘Call All 32’ strategy – calls do not work for failover user
• Call through remote PBXs of WMS network does not work if Main PBX is unavailable
• Continuity feature does not work after switch to failover PBX (invalid for WMS 5.0, refer to the chapter Support of user features)
• Pre-answer services do not work after switch to failover PBXPBX (invalid for WMS 5.0, refer to the chapter Support of user features)
• Call to the failover WP480 2015-2016 device can not be completed normally
• Return from semi-attended transfer is not performed
  • after transfer from remote user to failover user
  • after transfer from failover user to remote user
• BLF presence status of the local user is unavailable for failover user; call can’t be picked up via BLF key
• BLF presence status of the failover user is unavailable for local user; call can’t be picked up via BLF key
• Impossible to perform calls from Kite to failover user via WMS network Server PBX in case main PBX is unavailable
• Email notifications are unavailable for failover user; user features are not available on failover PBXPBX (invalid for WMS 5.0, refer to the chapter Support of user features)
• Login/logout via 99 service is restricted for failover user

Simplified configuration scenario (Primary and Failover PBXs in the same network)

Support of user features (WMS 5.0) 

Anchor
supportuserfeatures supportuserfeatures

Starting from WMS 5.01.20200605.5, you can enable the following features in Failover mode:

• Continuity
• Pre-answer services
• Email notifications and user features

How to enable:

• Run the following command on a Failover PBX to copy user files (which are encrypted) from a Main PBX: 

  Code Block
  scp admin@<pbx A>:/etc/user.d/*.lua /etc/user.d/ or scp -P 2222 admin@<pbx A>:/etc/user.d/*.lua /etc/user.d/ - for Cloud

   where <PBX A> is a domain name of a Main PBX.

• Then you need to set an owner of the copied files by running the command on the Failover PBX:

  Code Block
  chown wms:wms /etc/user.d/*lua

Simplified configuration scenario (Primary and Failover PBXs in the same network)

Important: This simplified scenario can be used in case you set up Failover between two local PBXs, to allow a faster switch of phones from Primary to Failover PBXs and vice versa.

...

• Make replication for main PBX configuration:
  • Access the failover PBX via SSH as root
  • Run shell script sync_pbx
  • Select 1 (Configure)
  • Enter IP of the Main PBX
  • Enter the admin password of the Main PBX

Licensing

Per-User mode (best way)

In case all PBXs are of Per-User type, you can enable WMS network license sharing, which means you need to add UC profiles only on the Server PBX and then you can re-use those licenses on the Client PBX. Please consult documentation: Share Per User Licenses between PBXs over WMS Network .

Per-Service or Mixed mode
