Step 2A: The activation link in the welcome email points to a setup wizard where the admin provides region, user-count, and workspace device count. Dedicated Instance – Service activation
Cisco provides FQDN for the WxC Dedicated Instance service in each region, in the following format: <customer>.<region>. wxc-di.webex.com Customers need to configure Conditional Forwarders on their DNS servers, to resolve cloud FQDN Dedicated Instance DNS service is regional and can be reached via private peering, using the following IP addresses E.g., cust100.amer.wxc-di.webex.com DI Region DI DNS Service IP Address Americas (SJC/DFW) 69.168.17.100 / 69.168.17.228 Europe (LON/AMS) 178.215.138.100 / 178.215.138.228 APJ (TOK/SIN) 103.232.71.100 / 103.232.71.228 AUS(MEL/SYD) 178.215.128.100 / 178.215.128 Step 2B: Provide SIP address name Dedicated Instance – Service activation
Step 3: Review and submit Dedicated Instance – Service activation Once the setup wizard is complete, partner/customer will notice the regions activated as “In Progress” in Control Hub

Enhanced Survivability
Why Enhanced Survivability for Dedicated Instance? SRST Provides basic remote site survivability for telephony, but lacks access to all features and integrations during network outages Advanced Requirements Some vertical markets, like Healthcare, deem calling as mission critical and require comprehensive redundancy options Comprehensive Redundancy Enhanced Survivability for Dedicated Instance supports all call-flows, features & integrations with an on-prem node in case of a complete loss of cloud access
Deployed on-premises and connects to Dedicated Instance in the cloud Devices register to the enhanced survivability node when cloud services are unavailable All call control functions, and 3 rd -party integrations (SIP & CTI) are preserved in failover mode High density survivability - supports up to 7500 devices per node Maximum 8 enhanced survivability nodes per cluster Cloud managed from Control Hub Solution Overview Hardware requirements: Must meet UCM v14SU3(+) HW virtualization requirements Customer Site Access Network X Control Hub PSTN Webex Calling Dedicated Instance Endpoints Dedicated Instance Enhanced survivability node
Dedicated Instance Enhanced Survivability Node is always the 3rd node in the CallManager Group and is activated when access to the cloud is lost Database is replicated from Dedicated Instance in the cloud to the Enhanced Survivability Node(s) Enhanced Survivability Node can be deployed with a maximum RTT (round trip time) of 200ms from Dedicated Instance in the cloud Dedicated Instance must be designed and implemented to ensure third party integrations, PSTN and Dedicated Instance based services failover during an outage Enhanced Survivability is supported only over Partner Connect or Webex Edge Connect How it works
