17. xisting PBX In case of a failover the existing PBX will be connected transparently to the PSTN ports see pict 11 In this scenario the Asterisk server PSTN is sending a Heartbeat to the analog ISDN bero fos As long as there isa PRI BRI heartbeat from the Asterisk server to the bero fos the PBX will be connected to the Asterisk server In case the bero fos detects an alteration in the heartbeat the old PBX will be connected to the PSTN ports directly This scenario is also not only usable in case of a failure You pict 11 could use this scenario for maintenance reasons of the Asterisk server The described scenario is only an example how to use the bero fos together with an Asterisk You can also use the bero fos in any similar situations 3 3 The hardware watchdog The hardware watchdog is a software daemon running on the bero fos itself and awaits a heartbeat in a configurable timeout period When the bero fos will not receive this heartbeat by an external server for example by Asterisk within the preconfigured timeout it will automatically switch to the default mode of the running scenario A D Additionally bero fos could send an e mail could send a Syslog event start an audio Signal if configured and go into the failure mode The failure mode will be indicated via the Fail LED on the front panel You could generate the heartbeat either by using the bntools for more information see chapter 4 5 or gener
