EXS API and SwitchKit API message

Description

CCS Redundancy Configure 0x005B

This message configures a chassis for common channel signaling (CCS) redundancy. When the system is successfully configured, all configuration and call processing is mirrored on the secondary card. If the primary card fails, the secondary card resumes call processing where the primary left off.

You enter the slot number of the primary and secondary SS7 or ISDN cards (using an AIB), and a configuration option to suspend synchronization or to not suspend synchronization.

CCS Redundancy Report 0x0073 (CCSRedundancyReport)

Cantata strongly recommends sending this message during minimal call processing loads only. Replicating database and call processing information entails heavy processor bandwidth, which affects call processing performance and throughput.

Number of AEs to follow

AEs

0x01 Slot (Primary Card)
Enter the physical slot number of a non-redundant card or the primary card
in a redundant pair.

0x01 Slot (Secondary Card)
Enter the physical slot number of the secondary card in a redundant pair.

If you define this value as 0xFF, the system cancels redundancy and resets the
system to recognize the primary card as if it were a single card configuration.

For a non-redundant card, this field must be 0xFF.
