Lucent Technologies 585-310-575 Hardware/Software Requirements, LAN Impact, Remote Message Impact

ELA Administration

Hardware/Software Requirements

ELA runs on the same machine as AUDIX.

■ELA must be installed on a Lucent INTUITY R4.2-4 or higher machine. If your site has an earlier release, contact your Lucent service representative to obtain the necessary upgrade. ELA is not available for pre-R4 Lucent INTUITY systems.

■MAP/40s machines require 64k of RAM.

LAN Impact

If your configuration includes a LAN, planning ELA implementation should involve your PC/LAN administrator(s) to ensure that AUDIX and the network are not adversely affected. The amount of LAN traffic on your system from ELA messages could increase if ELA will be sending messages for delivery to an e-mail or Message Manager recipient or to TCP/IP-networked remote machines. If none of these are valid for your site, ELA will not cause any LAN traffic.

See Chapter 6 in your INTUITY Messaging Solutions Release 4 Administration book:

■If your site has e-mail, to calculate some initial traffic estimates

■If your site has Message Manager, to calculate some initial traffic estimates

Remote Message Impact

If your site is networked, estimate the increase in the amount of remote traffic by first determining the percent of current traffic that is remote and calculating the number of messages/minute that percent represents. When ELA is actively sending messages, add that number of messages to the traffic estimate for remote message delivery.

NOTE:

For typical applications of ELA, the increase in messaging traffic can be negligible.
