2 Installing IMS with Exchange Server Introduction Introduction To ensure the successful installation of Integrated Messaging Server (IMS) and Microsoft Exchange Server, the steps in the following sections should be followed. Particular attention should be paid to the Permissions specified. These note should be read in conjunction with the Voic Installation manual. Installation of the IMS components on the Voic Pro server PC is part of the Voic Pro installation. Note the following within the IP Office Manager configuration: IMS License: IMS operation requires a license on IP Office in addition to the Voic Pro licenses. The license must appear as Valid and Unlimited in the IP Office configuration before installation of IMS. IP Office Voic to Settings: The Voic settings within the IP Office configuration for each User are not applicable to IMS and should be switched off. They are normally off by default.

3 Installation Alternatives Installation Alternatives The IMS Server actually consists of three components: IMS Database Service. IMS Gateway Service. IMS Voice Service. These components can be installed separately if required. The IMS Voice Service must be installed on the Voic Pro server PC. The IMS Database Service and IMS Gateway Service must be installed on the same PC, which can be either the Voic Pro server PC or the Exchange Server PC. Installation of the IMS Gateway Service and IMS Database Service onto the Exchange Server PC requires more installation steps but may improve performance in some systems.

5 2. While Installing IMS 2. While Installing IMS Provided all the above steps have been followed and the permissions have been correctly set as details above you should now be ready to install the Voic Pro and Integrated Messaging Server. The following instructions assume that Voic Pro has not already been installed on the PC. If you have already installed Voic Pro onto the PC, the instructions are the same except when prompted to Modify, Repair, or Remove, select Modify and tick the Integrated Messaging check box (do not untick any other boxes as this will remove that component). 1. Insert the Voic Pro CD Rom into the Drive. This should auto-start the installation. If not browse the CD Rom and double-click on Setup.exe to start the install. 2. Follow the prompts, selecting the installation directory and the components to install. 3. When prompted for the Account to use, select Browse and select the IMS account.

Browse and select the name of the Integrated Messaging Server if it has not been found by default and click Next. 6. Choose the Messaging parameters. Typically a 1-minute voic message equates to a 1Mb file. The larger the file the greater the impact on the Exchange Server.

Consideration should be given to any attachment size restrictions on the Mail Server when making this decision. 7. Select Browse and select the IMS account to be used for sending mails and select Finish. 8. The system will now check with the IP Office for the necessary licenses, which may take up to a minute.

7 Installing the IMS Client Software Installing the IMS Client Software IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not install the IMS Client on the same PC as the Voic Pro / IMS Server. The IMS client is supported by Microsoft Outlook 95/97/2000. In order to install the client: You must log on to the user's PC as a user with local administrative rights for that PC. Attempting to install the software without having local administrative right for the PC will cause a number of errors. Outlook should already be installed and configured on the users PC. Test this by using Outlook to send a test message. The Integrated Messaging Server should already be installed and running. During installation of the IMS Server, the IMS Client Installer package is copied to C:\Program Files\Avaya\IP Office\Voic Pro\IMS\Client. The installer, called IMSClient.exe is approximately 10.1MB is size. 1. Copy the IMS Client installer package to a CD or to a network folder that can be accessed when you are logged on at the users PC. 2. Log on to the users PC using an account that has administrative rights. 3. Save and close all other applications prior. 4. Depending on where it is located, double-click on the ISMClient.exe file. 5. Choose the preferred Language and select OK. 6. Select Next > until the Personalize IMS Client Setup screen appears. 7. Enter the following information: Voic Mailbox: This is the Entry as it appears in the Username Field of the IP Office User Profile Screen. This is case sensitive. If this information is entered incorrectly, the IMS client will not connect to the IMS Server. IMS Server: This is the name of the IMS / Voic Pro Server. 8. When prompted to Restart the PC select Finish to restart the PC. Please note that if you attempt to open Outlook without restarting you will receive an error that a component has not been installed correctly. It is therefore recommended that you restart the PC when prompted. If the above details have been followed, after the User has logged back onto their PC workstation and opened Outlook, select the following to verify that the IMS Client has connected to the IMS Server correctly. Typically when starting Outlook if there is a connection error, a message should be received while Outlook is starting, asking for a user name and password. 1. In Outlook select Tools Integrated Messaging. If the IMS Client has connected you should only have the option to Disconnect. If this is the case you have successfully installed the IMS Client on the workstation. 2. A further indication will be a Telephone Icon in the mail message. If the Client has not been installed, this icon will not be displayed. Installing IMS with Exchange Server Page 7
