the database.

change only when calls come in to the system that involve remote database
access for call processing. The voice system attempts to reestablish the
remote connection and is not able to process calls during this time.

In certain cases, the database DIP (oraldb) may not receive a timely
response from the machine. This may be due to a variety of factors, such as
