Notes:

  1. Windows ME, Windows 95 and NT4 Operating Systems are no longer supported by Avaya.

  2. CBC requires the associated Delta Server application to be installed on a Windows 2000/XP workstation or a 2000/2003 server. Windows 2003 server requires Delta Server 4.0(33) or above.

  3. IMS and Web Campaigns options within Voicemail Pro are only supported on Windows Servers. Aspects of operation such as Voicemail to E-mail, Integrated Messaging Pro (IMS), Web Campaigns, etc, are subject to further requirements. Please refer to the Voicemail Installation and Administration manual. Integrated Messaging Pro (IMS) is supported on Microsoft Exchange 5.5, 2000 and 2003. The R3.0GA release of Voicemail Pro does not support IMS operation with Outlook 2003 operating in cache mode. The R3.0 maintenance release will provide this support.

  4. For Phone Manager / iPhone Manager Pro Avaya recommends the use of Windows XP/2000.

  5. Conferencing Center Web Client simply requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher (no other application required).

  6. Although a server application, IP Office SMDR can also run on a Windows 2000, 2003 and Windows XP client Operating Systems but should not run on the same PC as a CBC or CCC Delta Server.

  7. Multimedia CCC operation on Windows 2003 server will require CCC v5 (planned May 05). Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional can be used but would typically support a maximum of 10 web clients. Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) installed capable of supporting as many web clients as required (please refer to Microsoft for licensing).
