Guidelines for maintenance and administration of a server or

specialized computer

The following are general rules for administering and maintaining a server

or other specialized computer:

1. Keep operating system and application software up-to-date.

Servers are a critical part of business infrastructure. The operating

system and application software must be current to ensure stable,

secure operation. An automated or semiautomated process for

upgrades and patches can be used, however upgrades and patches

can have unpredictable interactions with running services. Contact

Nortel for detailed information concerning the possible impact of

specific updates or fixes.

2. Do not run unnecessary services or applications.

To reduce risk, do not run any non-essential service or application.

Problems with such services or applications include the potential for

unwanted interactions between them (for example, ports that are

used by other applications), insufficient server capacity, and security

issues that are introduced by those applications. If you must run a

combination of applications, contact Nortel for more information.

Check the manufacturer’s features for other products, and determine

whether those features require resources that DECT Messenger

requires.
