Since we applied the VOIPo-VOIPo internal calling fix, the system behaves differently and is not designed for multiple server registrations. Usually this isn't an issue since we provision everything. With that said, today we're going to work on some security measures to prevent users from registering to multiple servers. Going forward, if you are registered to one server, the system will only allow an additional registration (such as softphone) on the same server.
Thanks Tim. It is looking much better now. Was this a BYOD person I assume? If a person uses Asterisk for example, the config should be to only one server (ie central01.voipwelcome.com) I am guessing. Actually in asterisk I don't know how to register to multiple servers with the same service so I hope it wasn't me that broke it!
