Global - Servers - Cns Group Profile

Use the Cns Group Profile window to specify a group of up to 8 servers to receive call notifications and to specify how the SBC should distribute the notifications among the servers. When you create a profile you add information on the first server in the Cns Group Data section. You can add up to 7 more Cns group data objects (for a total of 8) to a profile using the Cns Group Data window. Cns group profiles and Cns group data objects are used with the SBC's call notification feature. Refer to Sending Unsolicited Call Notifications to Application Servers for more information on call notification.

To View Cns Group Profiles

On the SBC main screen, go to All > Global > Servers > Cns Group > Cns Group Profile

The Cns Group Profile window opens.
