Polycom Failover Issue.

[RR66]

 We have 2 Polycom phones in the network this whole setup is on a boat so we are using VSAT networks. We have 2 WAN links one is primary and one for failover, phones are registered through the primary and it works well without a problem until the primary link goes down and failover takes over. Now phones are trying to register through the failover link but the failover is not configured as primary it is just a backup link for some domains. My problem is when the primary link comes back the phones are not trying to switch to the primary instead phones are waiting for a reply from the failover link. I need to reboot the router so the phones see the right gateway and will register through the primary link.

I am looking for a solution where can I make the changes so the phones switch back once the primary is up or should I do any other methods to make it work.

I am having the same situation for many of my client boats, just consider the above scenario and let me know what changes can be made to avoid the issue.

reg.1.address="2028"
reg.1.label="2028"
reg.1.auth.userId="2028"
reg.1.auth.password="xxx"
reg.1.lineKeys="1"
reg.1.server.1.address="x.x.x.x"
reg.1.server.1.expires="120"
reg.1.server.1.expires.lineSeize="30"
reg.1.server.1.port="5060"
reg.1.server.1.retryMaxCount="20"
reg.1.server.1.retryTimeOut="60000"
reg.1.server.1.register="1"
reg.1.server.1.transport="DNSnaptr"
reg.1.server.2.transport="DNSnaptr"
reg.1.thirdPartyName=""
reg.1.type="private"

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards.
