Installing Voicemail Pro: Centralized Voicemail Pro

b.Click Check to validate the changes that you have made.

c.If the response is positive, click OK. You will be prompted to restart the services so that your changes are enabled. Choose Yes. The services are automatically stopped and restarted.

3.Ensure that Port 25 is Not Blocked

Many firewalls block access to port 25 by default. Check that the firewall software being used on the server is configured to allow VMProV5Svc.exe as an exception.

4.DNS Host Routing (Optional)

The SMTP operation uses fully qualified domain names that need to be resolved to IP addresses by the network's DNS server. To guarantee name resolution the hosts files on each server can be used. Note however that if this method is used, any changes to IP addresses of servers will need to be reflected in the file update. Locate the file C: \Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and open it in a text editor such as WordPad. Add IP address and fully qualified domain name entries for each of the other voicemail servers.

Voicemail Pro Configuration

In all scenarios, each Voicemail Pro server should use the same basic configuration settings, ie. the same voicemail mode (Intuity or IP Office) and the same housekeeping settings.
