BAT application web browser considerations
The BAT is a web-based application that requires the use of a web browser. A web browser is a
resource-intensive application that can consume large amounts of system memory and CPU cycles. When a
web browser takes resources away from Cisco Unified Communications Manager, it adversely affects call
processing. For more details and web-browser specifications, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide.
Possible consequences of using the browser on the same machine as the web server and Cisco Unified
Communications Manager include delayed dial tone and dropped calls.
