The Multi-site VoIP Domain
A group of AltiGen systems can form a VoIP domain where they share the same global
extension directory and call routing rules. The VoIP domain is based on VoIP framework
and uses IP tie-trunks to interconnect among different sites.
A VoIP domain is created in MaxAdmin. Here, a system is designated as the VoIP domain
Master. Other AltiGen systems can then be added to a VoIP domain.
The VoIP domain Master maintains global configurations and propagates the configura-
tions to all the members belonging to this domain automatically. Any changes in the
global configuration are propagated in real time to the other members in the VoIP do
-
main.
Note: A multi-site installation requires an AltiGen Enterprise license.
Creating a Multi-site VoIP Domain
To create a multi-site VoIP domain and designate a system as the domain Master:
1. Select VoIP > Multi-Site Domain Configuration.
The name of the server appears in the Location Name field, and the name of your
AltiGen product appears in the Switch Type field (MAX Communication Server ACC
or MAX Communication Server ACM). The domain name is blank, and the server
role is currently Stand-alone.
2. Check the Allow this server to be added to domain check box.
3. Enter a Domain Name and a Member Key.
The Member Key will be the security password when the Domain Admin adds this
location into the domain. To reduce the complexity of administration, you can use
the same key for all member systems.
