Installing Voicemail Pro: General Installation Requirements

2.1.1 PC Specification

The PC specifications given below are the minimum required. To avoid having to replace the server when upgrading we recommend that at least a Pentium 4 2.8GHz or higher is used wherever possible.

This application requires various licenses entered into the IP Office configuration to control the features it offers and the number of simultaneous connections 16 , up to 40 on IP Office 5.0+ IP500 control units. The operation of Voicemail Pro can be customized to provide special services.

The Voicemail Pro software can be installed as separate Voicemail Pro client and server parts. This allows the remote administration of the Voicemail Pro server from a PC with just the Voicemail Pro client installed. A copy of the client is automatically installed locally with the Voicemail Pro server.

1.For pre-IP Office 5.0 IP500 systems, an IP500 Upgrade Standard to Professional licenses is required to support Voicemail Pro.

The Voicemail Pro server part of the software consists of several components in addition to the core server software, these are:

Campaigns

The Voicemail Pro can be configured to run a campaign. This consists of a series of questions for which the Voicemail Pro records the callers answer or key presses. The resulting recordings can then be played back by users. The web aspect of campaigns allows user to perform this playback and processing of campaign recordings via their web browser. This requires an IIS web server to be run on the same PC as the Voicemail Pro software.

Text to Speech (TTS)

Through adding additional licenses, the Voicemail Pro is able to use the TTS functions of Windows to speak text and numbers to callers in addition to recording prompts. This is intended mainly for scenarios where the Voicemail Pro is obtaining text and number values from a customer database.

UMS Web Voicemail

UMS allows users to access their voicemail mailbox using either an IMAP compatible email program or through their web browser. UMS Web Voicemail requires the Voicemail Pro service to be installed on a server PC that has IIS already present. It also installs PHP if not detected as already present.

Installation on Windows Server Operating Systems

On many Windows server PC's, while the Windows Audio components are present by default they are not always enabled. If this is the case the playback of voice prompts may be 'choppy' and the TTS (if installed) will not work. However, enabling Windows Audio does not require the server PC to have a sound card installed.

1.Ensure that you have full administrator rights for the PC. This process will also require the PC to be restated.

2.In the Windows Control Panel select Sounds and Audio Devices.

3.If Windows Audio has not been enabled, select the Enable Windows Audio check-box.

Notes:

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

2.A 100Mbps network card is strongly recommended.

3.Free disk space requirements

25are also subject to the message storage required.
