Configuring SIP local survival
IP phones have been deployed throughout the headquarters and branches of many enterprises and
organizations. Typically, a voice server is deployed at the headquarters to control calls originated by IP
phones at the branches.
The local survival feature enables the voice router at a branch to automatically detect the reachability to
the headquarter voice server, and process calls originated by attached IP phones when the headquarters
voice server is unreachable. The headquarters voice router will take over call services from the branch
voice router when the failure is removed.

The following describes the local survival feature in detail:
• When a WAN link from a branch to the headquarters is normal, all IP phones at the branch are
registered with the headquarters voice server and the headquarters voice server processes calls
originated by branch IP phones.
• When the WAN link to the headquarters or the primary server fails:
{ The branch voice router can accept registrations from its attached IP phones.
{ The branch voice router ensures the normal call services between its IP phones, between its IP phones and FXS
interfaces, and between its FXS interfaces.
{ IP phone users at the branch can place or receive PSTN calls through FXS interfaces on the voice router.
• When the WAN link or the primary server recovers, the branch voice router rejects registrations
from IP phones and the headquarters voice server takes over call processing.
