Centralized Voicemail Server

In the network, one Voicemail Pro server acts as the centralized voicemail server for all IP Office systems. This server stores all mailboxes and their related messages, greeting and announcements. This is mandatory regardless of the presence of any additional options below.

The IP Office associated with the centralized server holds the licenses for voicemail server support. The other servers in the network do not require any voicemail licenses in order to use this server as their voicemail server.

Fallback IP Office

Without needing to install another Voicemail Pro server, you can configure the IP Office hosting the centralized voicemail server such that, if for any reason it is stopped or disabled, the centralized voicemail server accepts control from another IP Office in the network.

Distributed Voicemail Servers

You can install additional Voicemail Pro servers and associated these with other IP Office systems to provide call services for those systems. For example to record messages, play announcements. However, any messages they record are automatically transferred to and stored on the centralized server. The IP Office associated with the distributed server requires the appropriate licenses for voicemail server support.

Backup Voicemail Server

You can specify an additional voicemail server as the backup server for the centralized server. If for any reason the voicemail application on the centralized server is stopped or disabled, the centralized IP Office will switch to using the backup voicemail server for its voicemail functions.
