Survivable Remote Site Telephony Configuration


A survivable remote site telephony (SRST) reference comprises the gateway that can provide limited Cisco CallManager functionality when all other Cisco CallManager servers for a device are unreachable. Typically assigned to device pools, SRST references determine the gateways where calling devices search when they attempt to complete a call if Cisco CallManager is unavailable. For more detailed information on SRST references, refer to the "Survivable Remote Site Telephony References" section in the Cisco CallManager System Guide.

Use the following topics to add, update, copy, or delete a SRST reference:

Before You Begin

You cannot delete SRST references that device pools or other items are using. To find out which device pools are using the SRST reference, click the Dependency Records link from the SRST Reference Configuration window. If the dependency records are not enabled for the system, the dependency records summary window displays a message. For more information about dependency records, see the "Accessing Dependency Records" section on page A-3. If you try to delete an SRST reference that is in use, Cisco CallManager displays an error message. Before deleting an SRST reference that is currently in use, you must perform either or both of the following tasks:

Assign a different SRST reference to any device pools that are using the SRST reference that you want to delete. See the "Updating a Device Pool" section on page 8-5.

Delete the device pools that are using the SRST reference that you want to delete. See the "Deleting a Device Pool" section on page 8-6.

Procedure


Step 1 In the menu bar, choose System > SRST.

Step 2 Locate the SRST reference that you want to delete. See the "Finding an SRST Reference" section.

Step 3 Check the check box of the SRST reference that you want to delete and click Delete Selected.

A message displays, that tells you that you cannot undo this action.

Step 4 To delete the SRST reference, click OK or to cancel the deletion, click Cancel .


Caution Before initiating this action, check carefully to ensure that you are deleting the correct SRST reference. You cannot retrieve deleted SRST references. If an SRST reference is accidentally deleted, you must rebuild it.
