The Adhoc Conferencing prompt appears:
In order to support "ad-hoc" conferences with more than 3
participants, the Adhoc Conference Service is used. This
service should be enabled on this server, unless another
server dedicated to Adhoc Conferencing will be used instead.
If available, a separate server typically provides greater
capacity and may be shared among sites.
Use the Adhoc service on this server? (Y/N) [Y] :
If you want this server to act as a multi-caller (up to 6 callers)
conferencing server, enter
y
. If not, enter
n
.

The UPS Monitoring prompt appears:
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can be used with VCX
systems to avoid disruption due to a power outage. VCX
provides a UPS monitoring service which tracks the UPS's
status and performs a safe shutdown when the its battery is
depleted during a long power outage. To use this feature,
you must have a compatible UPS installed and configured in
accordance with the VCX documentation.
