HUAWEI IP Phone 7960
Product Description

2.6.5 Automatic Upgrade

HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 supports automatic upgrade. It can search for available upgrade
software and complete the system upgrade automatically. This ensures that the current
software is the latest and most stable version, and significantly reduces maintenance
workload.

2.6.6 Terminal Management

HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 can be remotely managed by eSight/TMS. eSight/TMS supports
various operations on HUAWEI IP Phone 7960, including reboot, centralized configuration,
general upgrade, configuration obtaining and system diagnostics export.

2.7 Reliability

2.7.1 Multi-Registration

HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 supports sequential registration:
HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 sends registration messages to a SIP server at intervals of half of the
registration interval. If the active SIP server fails, the IP phone registers with the standby SIP
server. If the standby SIP server also fails, the IP phone registers with the local SIP server.
Services are interrupted during the SIP server switching. After the IP phone registers with a
SIP server successfully, its services become available again.

2.7.2 eSight Redundancy

HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 supports eSight redundancy. The domain name configured on the
DNS server is mapped to two eSight IP addresses, one active and one standby. When
HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 receives the IP addresses resolved by the DNS server, HUAWEI IP
Phone 7960 first initiates a connection request to the active eSight. If the active eSight fails to
respond, HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 connects to the standby eSight.

2.7.3 Authentication Server Redundancy (Only in EC6.X)

In the EC6.X network environment, HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 supports uPortal server
redundancy. During HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 login authentication, if the active uPortal server
fails, HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 automatically switches to the standby uPortal server to ensure
functional services.

2.7.4 Directory Server Redundancy (Only in EC6.X)

HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 supports directory server redundancy. During directory query, if the
active directory server fails, HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 automatically switches to the standby
directory server for a query.
2.7.5 NTP Server Redundancy
HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 supports NTP server redundancy. During time update, if the active
NTP server fails, HUAWEI IP Phone 7960 automatically switches to the standby NTP server
for time synchronization.
