Maintaining the performance of the IP trunk server

Follow these guidelines to maintain optimal performance on your IP trunk server.

•Check that the server has at least 64 MB of RAM installed.

•Check that the C drive has the following virtual memory allocation:

•Initial Size (MB): 50

•Maximum Size (MB): 750

•Check that the performance boost for the foreground application is set to “None.”

•Check that any applications that consume lots of CPU cycles and are not needed to run the server, such as screen saver utilities, are not running on the server.

•Check that CDR and/or trace files are not consuming all of the disk space.

•Is there little or no space available on the C drive? In Configuration Manager, Service Logs tab, check that the ”free disk space” threshold parameter is set correctly (that is, to a value other than zero).
