FortiVoice Phone System Administration Guide

Managing FortiVoice gateways, local survivability, and firmware

Managing FortiVoice gateways, local survivability, and firmware

A managed gateway is one of the FortiVoice Gateways that either contains FXS, FXO, or PRI ports that handles calls for the FortiVoice phone system. Gateway Management enables auto-discovery of other FortiVoice gateways on the network and offers remote device management from a centralized FortiVoice phone system. Gateways will still need to be configured for network setting and administrator passwords, but all other configurations will be received from the FortiVoice unit.

For information on gateway auto-discovery, see Viewing unmanaged gateways.

FVE-100E and larger systems can manage gateways.

The FortiVoice Local Survivable solution is designed to provide branch resiliency for centralized deployments with multi-sites. It is delivered and supported by a selected line of enterprise-class appliances through a firmware upgrade and enables system administrators to seamlessly connect multiple locations with an easy-to-deploy solution.

Firmware of the FortiVoice units and FortiFones can be managed in a single place.

For information on gateway deployment, see FortiVoice Gateway Deployment guides.

For information on local survivable gateway deployment, see FortiVoice Local Survivable Gateway Deployment Guide.
