Changing the Server ID Length
The Server ID is used for the following two purposes:
• Identifying member systems in the VoIP domain
• Mapping to a remote system's IP address in the IP dialing table for system-to-system
dialing
Depending on the number of systems that will be added to the VoIP domain and the
number of entries in the IP dialing table, the Server ID Length can be set to 1, 2, or 3
digits.
The Server ID Length can be changed. However, if this number is changed, the
server IDs are all altered. If you increase the length, the number 0 is added to
the front of the server IDs. For example, if you change the length from 2 to 3,
original ID 02 and 27 will become 002 and 027 respectively. If you change the
length from 3 to 2, the original IDs 112 and 311 will become 12 and 11. It is
advisable to keep the original length. If you are not sure about future expansion,
using a 3-digit length is advised..

Adding a Server to a VoIP Domain
Important: Before you add a server to the domain, make sure that the System ID (spec-
ified in MaxAdmin, System Configuration tab) is not the same as another
member server’s System ID. Enterprise Manager will use the System ID to
build a unique identifier in the multisite database. Once a server is joined to
a domain, you cannot change the System ID in MaxAdmin.
