Introduction
An IP Telephony node is defined as a collection of Signaling Servers and
Voice Gateway Media Cards. Each network node has a unique Node ID,
which is an integer value. A node has only one Leader Signaling Server. All
other Signaling Servers and Voice Gateway Media Cards are defined as
Followers. An IP Telephony node must be configured to make a CS 1000
system operational. For more information about IP Telephony nodes and their
configuration, refer to IP Line: Description, Installation, and Operation
(553-3001-365).
The IP Telephony node database files are backed up, along with the customer
database, by using the EDD command in LD 43. Refer to Software Input/
Output: Maintenance (553-3001-511) for details about this command.
