The following process is for a basic (compact) installation of Voicemail Pro. This installation will install:

• The Voicemail Pro Server (as either an executable program or  service according to the Windows version).

• The Voicemail Pro Client.

• Appropriate prompts for the selected installation language.

 

1. If upgrading an existing Voicemail System see Upgrading a Voicemail Pro System.

2. Log on to the server PC using the account under which you intend the Voicemail Pro server or service to run. This account must have full administrator rights to the local PC.

   • We recommend that a new user account called Voicemail is created and given full administrator rights on the PC. This will help identify the accounts purpose.

3. Using the IP Office Manager application or IP Office Wizard, check that the correct licenses for Voicemail Pro are installed and show a status of Valid. For basic Voicemail Pro, the licenses required are:

   • Voicemail Pro (4 ports) plus Additional Voicemail Pro (X ports) licenses up to the total number of port required or supported by the IP Office control unit.

4. Insert the Voicemail Pro CD. The installation wizard should auto-start. If it does not auto-start, browse to and run Setup.exe on the CD.
   

5. Select the installation language from the drop down list. This language will be used for both the installation wizard menus and for the default language prompts installed.
