9.1.4 IMS Server PC Requirements

In addition to the Voicemail Pro server requirements, IMS requires the following.

The voicemail server to use MAPI.

Access to a Microsoft Exchange 5.5, 2000 or 2003 (SP1 and SP4) server.

An Exchange User account for user IMS.

A list equating Exchange User account names with voicemail box users.

Use of the Large Fonts setting is not supported. Use of this option may cause options on some screens to become inaccessible.

Operating System Support

Voicemail Pro with IMS is only supported on the following Windows operating systems:

Windows 2000 Server with SP2.

Windows 2003 Server with SP1.

Windows 64-bit versions of the above are not supported.

Variants of the above such as Windows SBC and Windows DataCenter are supported.

No other operating systems are supported.

Network Requirements

100Mbps network card.

The server PC should be configured and tested for TCP/IP networking.

We strongly recommend that the voicemail server PC is connected to the IP Office Control Unit directly. If this is not possible it should be connected via a LAN switch rather than a LAN hub.

If directly connected to the IP Office control unit, change the settings of the PC network card to match the IP Office control unit as listed in the table below.

All IP Office LAN ports are 10Mbps/100Mbps auto sensing but it is recommended that the settings of the LAN switch port or network card connected to the IP Office are set as listed in the table below.

The PC should have a fixed IP address. Although PCs in a DHCP network may retain the same IP address between reboots this is not guaranteed.

If the IP Office is acting as the DHCP server, it defaults to using 192.168.42.2 to 192.168.42.201 for DHCP clients. This leaves 192.168.42.202 to 192.168.42.254 for devices that require fixed IP addresses.

Disk Space Requirements

A Voicemail Pro installation including VPNM and IMS requires the following free hard disk space.

Up to 2GB of disk space for the software and language prompts

An additional 1MB of disk space per minute for messages and other recordings.

For Avaya IP Office Small Office Edition, you can expect to require at least 200 minutes of message recording space which is 200MB.

For a busy environment you can expect to require at least 1000 minutes of message recording space, that is 1GB.
