Hardware and software requirements for Octel
Unified Messenger servers
Octel Unified Messenger servers require the following configuration:
Minimum voice
server requirements n For systems using 4 to 12 ports: 200 MHz Intel Pentium.
For systems using 16 to 24 ports: 400 MHz Intel Pentium.
n 128 MB RAM.
n Access to a CD-ROM drive to install the software.
n Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with the latest service pack.
n Rhetorex VPS4, 8-port PCI cards (Vantage PCI_8L or PCI_8LH),
or VRS24 with ATSI voice card(s) (available in US and Canada
only).
n Microsoft Exchange Client software.
n Rhetorex Installation Suite.
n 1 GB free disk space.
Recommended Processor:
The processor recommended for an OMD voice server depends on two
key factors:
n The number of voice ports to be supported by the server.
n The 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 detrimental effect
on the voice server’s performance.
