Upgrading the Branch
Offices
This section describes how to upgrade branch offices. Each branch office
is associated with a regional office.
As noted in Upgrading a Multi-Site VCX System with Branch Offices,
multi-site VCX systems can be categorized by the method used to
implement messaging.
■In a multi-site VCX system configured to use local messaging, the IP
Messaging server is co-located with the IP Telephony server at each
branch office. In this case, each branch office provides messaging
services for its users.
