Installing a Shadow Server
MeetingPlace Audio Server 5.2 allows for shadow server capability in the 8112 environment. The 8112
shadow server is a backup system that can replace the 8112 conference server in case there is a system
or site failure. The switchover of the shadow server ensures that complete MeetingPlace functionality
can be returned with a minimum loss of time and disruption in service.
