Voicemail Pro installation - IP Office Info

1. What is new in 8.1
The following is a summary of the new features in Voicemail Pro 8.1.
What is new in 8.1:
· Support for IP Office Server Edition
On IP Office Server Edition, a Server Edition license provides all the Voicemail Pro features that are provided by the
Preferred Edition license on IP500 and IP500 V2. The maximum number of ports that you can simultaneously use for
voicemail operation on IP Office Server Edition with a Server Edition license is 100.
· Synchronization of primary and backup voicemail servers
Apart from call flows, voicemail messages, greetings, and recorded names, the synchronization between the primary
and the backup voicemail servers now also includes the registry settings, user variables, SMTP mappings, and alarms.
However, the synchronization excludes the directory locations, settings specific to Voicemail Pro client, Voicemail Pro
IIS port settings, Campaign settings, Service SID of the Voicemail Pro service, and backup configuration settings.
· Failback operation on backup voicemail server
In the previous releases, if central server failed and backup server took over the control as the active voicemail server,
the system administrator needed to shutdown the backup server for the control to be passed back to the central
server. In 8.1, the system administrator can configure backup server to initiate an automatic failback operation to pass
the control back to central server.
The system administrator can choose from three different modes of failback operation to configure on backup server -
manual, graceful, and automatic. In manual mode, the system administrator needs to shutdown backup server. In
graceful mode, backup server hands over the control to central server immediately after all the active voicemail calls
on the backup server come to an end. In automatic mode, backup server waits for the failback operation timeout
before handing over the control to central server, and if all the active voicemail calls on the backup server come to an
end before the timeout, the handover of the control is immediate.
· Restriction on minimum length of mailbox password
You can now set a restriction on the minimum length of a mailbox password. Use the general system preference Min.
Password Length 97
for the purpose. The minimum value that you can set is 0 in IP Office mailbox mode and 2 in
Intuity emulation mode. The maximum value is 15.
· Using a remote FTP server for backup and restore operations
You can now save the backup files generated by either a scheduled backup or an immediate backup to a remote FTP
server. Similarly, you can now restore a backup saved on a remote FTP server.
· VRLA feature support on Linux-based voicemail server
You can now configure a Linux-based voicemail server to transfer the saved voice recordings to the Windows-based
Voice Recording Library (VRL) application IP Office ContactStore using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). Thereby,
you can use the Voice Recording Library Authentication (VRLA) feature on a Linux-based voicemail server.
