Recommended Processor:
The processor recommended for an OMD voice server depends on two
key factors:
nThe number of voice ports to be supported by the server.
nThe maximum number of simultaneous text-to-speech (TTS)
sessions to be allowed on the server. The number cannot exceed
the number of TTS licenses purchased.
Note: When using Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5, it
is recommended that you use Microsoft Outlook 98.
Note: Ensure there is sufficient disk space on the voice
server. If the voice server runs out of disk space, you
will obtain unpredictable results. Microsoft
recommends that you keep at least 20% of disk space
free to guarantee good performance.
Note: Too many TTS sessions can have a de trimen ta l effect
on the voice server’s performance.
