WARNING: A Non-redundant switch is never recommended
for use where the need for constant
telecommunications availability is required.
Because of the time it takes to complete an
SX-2000 Non-redundant system reboot, and the
absence of 911 functionality during this time, Mitel
does not recommend a non-redundant system for
mission critical sites such as hospitals, prisons,
and police and fire stations. Certain hospitality
and university residence sites, where 24 hour
operations are a requirement, should always be
serviced by an SX-2000 redundant system. For
sites that must be protected against system
outages resulting from software, hardware or
regularly scheduled maintenance activities,
redundancy on the SX-2000 is recommended.
