The system requirements vary depending on the number of users logged on to the Call Connector Server. The number of users here refers to the number of concurrently logged on Call Connector clients. These are minimum requirements and deal with only the Call Connector Server requirements. If the computer is running other application or services, those requirements should be added to these specifications. 25 User System 75 User System 250 User System Processor 2.66 Ghz or faster multi-core processer 2.66 Ghz or faster quadcore processer Dedicated Quad Core 3Ghz or faster Memory (RAM) 2 Gbyte RAM available for Call Connector Server 4 Gbyte RAM available for Call Connector Server 8Gbyte RAM available for Call Connector Server Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows 7 or Windows 2003 Server Microsoft Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 Server Microsoft Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 Server Disk Space 1 Gbyte available for Call Connector Server 3 Gbyte available for Call Connector Server 5 Gbyte available for Call Connector Server 5

6 Application Software Call Connector Server uses the settings of Internet Explorer for navigating through proxies servers. If you are using a Proxy server to access the Internet, first verify the connection using the IE browser. Internet Explorer Version 6.0 with Service Pack 2, Internet Explorer 7.0 Pre Requisites for Server Installation As a part of the installation of the Call Connector Server, Customer needs to have certain network connectivity and configuration information.

7 General Guidelines Outlook 2010 x64-bit Support Outlook 2010 x64-bit uses MAPI x64 library and requires all applications and components accessing Outlook x64 to use this x64-bit library. The Call Connector Operator (for Outlook x64) is a native x64-bit application with x64-bit toolbar components to support Outlook x64. As an x64- bit native application, this version of the Call Connector Operator has the following restrictions/limitations: The x64-bit Call Connector Operator will only work with Outlook x64. If the x64-bit Windows has Outlook x32 installed, then the installation will fail. Existing version Call Connector Operator will need to be uninstalled first before installing the 2.1 version. Running under Windows Standard User Rights Version 2.1 Cisco Call Connector clients can run on Windows accounts that have standard user rights. There are differences in the client behavior when run under standard user rights. These are summarized below: The Cisco Call Connector client must be installed from a Windows account with administrator/power user rights. During installation, the option to Run with limited user rights must be selected. The required Cisco Call Connector Services are setup to run automatically at Windows startup. The option to Run with limited user rights is not available when updating. User requiring this option must uninstall the Cisco Call Connector clients. The Cisco Call Connector Services cannot be started or stopped by the client menu. (Note the status of the Call Connector services cannot be queried and always indicates stopped). Connection errors that require restart of the Call Connector Services will require the PC to be restarted. LAN Access and Ports The Local Area Network is used in multi-user environments to share the directory data and to access services such as and the Telephony Service. Access to the Internet is also required for the activation process. The following network connections are made between the applications running on the Call Connector Server and the Call Connector clients and the Communication Systems: Connections Type Server Ports (Default) Communication Servers SCCP TCP Available TCP ports Communication Server RADIUS UDP 1646 Communication Server Telnet TCP 23 CallConnector Server Application UDP + TCP 5060, 39984, 5061, 5062, 5063, 5071, CallConnector Clients Receive Port TCP

8 Configuration Manager (to verify activation) TCP 80 (SMTP Server) TCP 25 Requirements for Sending from Configuration Manager To send for problem reports or for messages to the users, you will require the SMTP server address and the account username and password. 8
