ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
Cause: 

Gateway 64 1 was having issues. There are Voice ports and IVR ports configured on this Gateway which explains the silence.

Resolution: 

During the troubleshooting process Carousel tried restarting Callpilot A and running configuration wizard to re-flash the DSP’s on the dialogic boards but none of that helped. It was decided to switch from Callpilot A over to Callpilot B.

When Callpilot B came into service testing confirms that the Callpilot auto attendant, the Callpilot CDN for voice mail and the AACC IVR ports were now working.

The Callpilot A logs do not reveal any indication of there being any issue at the time of the event.

Prevention: 

Working with vendor to determine a way to prevent further such issues.
