Voicemail Server Installation Requirements

Voicemail
IP Office
Check the following requirements before installing the voicemail software
onto the voicemail server PC.
PC
The PC used as the voicemail server should be:
• A Windows 9x or Windows NT4 or higher PC.
• A Pentium 166MHz or higher.
• It is strongly recommended that the server PC is dedicated to this task
and is located in a non-public area.
Network
The PC should be configured and tested for TCP/IP networking.
• It is preferable that it is on the same network segment as the PBX.
• The PC should have a fixed IP address. While PC's in a DHCP network
usually retain the same IP address between reboots this is not
guaranteed.
•
If the PBX is acting as a DHCP server, in default it will use
addresses up to 192.168.42.200 for DHCP, leaving higher
addresses free for devices that require fixed IP addresses.
Disk Space
The Voicemail Server installation requires 170MB of disk space, however
you should note that recorded messages consume about 1MB of disk
space per minute.
• For a small office, you can expect to require at least 200 minutes of
message recording space, ie. 200 MB.
• For a busy environment you can expect to require at least 1,000 minutes
of message recording space, ie. 1Gbyte.
Email Connection
If the Voicemail Server PC has a MAPI compliant email client program, that
program can be used for voicemail to email functions. Sending an email
directly from the email client program tests email connectivity.
• Outlook 97/98 supports MAPI.
• Outlook Express can be configured to enable MAPI.
Number of Simultaneous Users
All connections to the voicemail server from the PBX are via the LAN. The
maximum number of simultaneous voicemail connections depends on the
PBX.
• IP 401: Maximum of 2 data channels for Voicemail Lite.
• IP 403: Maximum of 4 data channels for Voicemail Lite.
• IP 406: Maximum of 4 data channels for Voicemail Lite.
• IP 412: Maximum of 4 data channels for Voicemail Lite.
• Note that the PBX may support a higher number of data channels. The
figure above are the maximum that can be assigned to voicemail
operation. Note also that data channels can be used for other purposes,
which may reduce the number available for voicemail at any time.
