Abstract
Providing fail_over call processing services by sniffing signaling traffic, without the overhead of configuring/provisioning terminals (phones), call servers etc. According to an aspect of the present invention, the integrated device operates as a backup call server when external call servers are unavailable. In one embodiment, the integrated device checks whether a first call server, to which a call setup request is destined to, is available, and forwards the request to another call server if the first call server is unavailable. According to another aspect, the integrated device detects the access information of each terminal registering with a call server, and uses the detected information to provide responses to call setup requests when the call servers are unavailable. As a result, the IP phones in a local network can continue initiating calls even when call servers located at remote sites, become unavailable.
