IP Office
IMS Limitations
IMS is designed to work in a system that comprises one IP Office and one Microsoft Exchange Server. It
can be used in a system with more than one telephone system as long as that system has centralized
voicemail using just one voicemail server.
IMS cannot be used to:
Save a voicemail.
Compose a new voicemail.
Reply to a voicemail.
Add comments to a forwarded voicemail.
Mark a voicemail as urgent.
Voicemails should not be placed in Public Folders.
Windows 98 client PCs must connect to the IMS Server PC using TCP/IP. Clients that do not use TCP/IP
are not supported.
To reduce startup time, IMS scans only the root inbox for new messages when it starts up.
IMS Components
IMS consists of the following components.
IP Office
One of the IP400 Office series of telephone systems.

IMS Server
This consists of two services installed on the Voicemail Pro Server PC:
