Abstract
In one embodiment, the present disclosure is a method and apparatus for provisioning a backup signaling channel. In one embodiment, a method for provisioning a backup D channel in a media gateway includes provisioning a primary D channel on a first media gateway card in the media gateway and provisioning the backup D channel on a second media gateway card in the media gateway that is different from the first media gateway card, wherein the backup D channel backs up the primary D channel.
Claims16
A method for provisioning a backup D channel in a media gateway, the method comprising:
- provisioning a primary D channel on a first media gateway card in the media gateway;
- and
- provisioning the backup D channel on a second media gateway card in the media gateway that is different from the first media gateway card, wherein the backup D channel serves as a backup to the primary D channel.
A computer readable storage medium containing an executable program for provisioning a backup D channel in a media gateway, where the program performs steps comprising:
- provisioning a primary D channel on a first media gateway card in the media gateway;
- and
- provisioning the backup D channel on a second media gateway card in the media gateway that is different from the first media gateway card, wherein the backup D channel serves as a backup to the primary D channel.
A media gateway, comprising:
- a first media gateway card on which is provisioned a primary D channel;
- and
- a second media gateway card different from the first media gateway card on which is provisioned a backup D channel, wherein the backup D channel serves as a backup to the primary D channel.
