The failover scenario guarantees smooth and reliable operation of two PBXs side by side, where the second only becomes active after the first has failed, minimizing downtime (see image). This scenario is not only interesting in case of failures but can also be used during maintenance, repair, or upgrade of your telecommunications equipment. 

The bypass scenario is interesting for customers who want to keep their old telephone system and add new functionalities by placing a new PBX in front of the old one (for example, an Asterisk system). With the bypass scenario, you have the option to add a new PBX between the PSTN lines and the outgoing lines of the old PBX system. In the event of a failover, the PSTN lines are transparently reconnected to the existing old PBX (see image).
