■
One or two IBM X346 servers running the IP Messaging services
configuration. The number of servers depends on whether the
branch offices are configured with IP Messaging services or obtain
that service from the regional office.
■
One IBM X346 server running the Authentication and Directory
Server configuration
■
One IBM X346 server running the Call Records Server configuration
The other regional office:
■
Has the same configuration as above except that it does not
contain a Call Records Server
■
Uses the Call Records Server running on the configuration above
Each branch office can operate with an IBM X306m server, a 3Com
V6000 (Analog) Integrated Branch server, or a V6100 (Digital)
Integrated Branch server.
■
The IBM X306m server can run either the IP Telephony and IP
Messaging configuration, or the IP Telephony configuration.
The IP Telephony and IP Messaging configuration enables each
branch office to have its own IP Messaging service (referred to as
local
messaging).
The IP Telephony configuration requires that each branch office
obtain IP Messaging services from the regional office (referred to as
global
messaging).
■
The 3Com V6000 (Analog) or V6100 (Digital) Integrated Branch
server runs the IP Telephony and IP Messaging configuration which
enables local IP Messaging service.
VCX software version 7.1 (and higher) supports Global Voicemail
Integration. Global Voicemail Integration links regional and branch office
IP Messaging servers through a universal mailbox directory on a special IP
Messaging server called the Global Voicemail Central Server (GVCS).
When enabled, Global Voicemail Integration allows a user to send, reply
to, and forward voicemail messages to any other mailbox in the system.
The GVCS does not carry IP Messaging traffic; it acts as a coordinator that
monitors mailbox activity (mailbox creation, modification, and deletion)
on each IP Messaging server in the system. For example, when a voice
mailbox is created on a branch office, the GVCS updates its global
directory and notifies all the other offices to update their local directories.
