Descriptions |
Services |
Primary Server |
This Linux-based IP Office server is the mandatory component of any Server Edition network. It performs licensing/subscription control for all other servers in the network and is the host for most application services. |
IP Office Avaya one-X Portal Voicemail Pro Media Manager Collaboration Server |
Secondary Server |
This Linux-based IP Office server is similar to the primary and for a range of resilience scenarios it can temporarily take over many of the functions of the primary server. |
IP Office Avaya one-X Portal Voicemail Pro |
Expansion Server (L) |
This Linux-based server is used to support additional IP telephony connections with a Server Edition Network. For example, to provide local IP telephony support at different location than the existing primary and secondary server. This helps network performance and resilience. |
IP Office |
Expansion Server (V2) |
This is the Avaya proprietary hardware based version of IP Office, called IP Office IP500 V2. When used as an expansion server in an Server Edition network, it allows the connection of non-IP based trunks and telephones to that network. Its installation is not covered by this document, other than how to connect the server to a Server Edition network. |
IP Office |
IP Office Application Server |
The Linux-based IP Office server is used to provide support to the IP Office telephony service running on another server.
When used to support a standalone or SCN networked IP Office, it can support all the services indicated. When used to support a Server Edition primary or secondary, only one-X Portal is supported. |
Avaya one-X Portal Voicemail Pro Media Manager Collaboration Server |
Unified Communications Module (UCM) |
Linux-based server running on a proprietary hardware that installs directly into an IP Office IP500 V2 system and then provides services for that system. Not supported in Server Edition networks. For installation details, refer to the Installing and Maintaining an IP Office Unified Communications Module. |
