Server Requirements for the Cisco Unified Department Attendant Console

The server software for the Cisco Unified Department Attendant Console can be installed to a dedicated hardware

server or can be loaded on a desktop PC running Windows 2003 Server or Windows 2008 server. If the dedicated

hardware server approach is used, up to 5 departments, each with 150 Cisco Unified IP phones and 2 operator

clients, can be supported with a single PC server. For mission-critical installations, a dedicated hardware server is

recommended because shutting off the PC server will cause the Cisco Unified Department Attendant Console to lose

Cisco Unified Communications Manager connectivity. Table 50 lists the minimum hardware server requirements.
