Introduction The Interaction Media Server appliance is a pre-certified server that supports IC applications out of the box. Interaction Media Server is a required subsystem of Interaction Center. Its main purpose is to handle IP-based audio streams. These audio streams include Voice-over-IP (VoIP) active call connections, recordings, and the playing of prompts.
(Medium and Large Interaction Media Servers only) See the Factory Image Restoration Procedures document for instructions on how to restore the factory image (operating system and/or any Interactive Intelligence software) using an internal USB flash drive (“Interaction Recovery Module”). The Factory Image Restoration Procedures document is included in the box with the Interaction Media Server appliance, and is also located in the Packaged Hardware Documents section of the IC Documentation Library.
Interaction SIP Proxy Technical Reference Interaction SIP Proxy is a program that enables a server to act in a similar fashion as an Interaction Center server in its ability to route SIP calls to a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), or to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
