Distributed Voice Server Software
The ShoreTel Distributed Voice Server (DVS) must be a dedicated server with no other applications
installed. This means you should not use this server for any of the following: Windows Domain
controller, Terminal Server, Database Server (with MySQL), Web server, nor exchange server. This
DVS server must be exclusively dedicated to supporting ShoreTel.
A DVS has the same software prerequisites as the ShoreTel Headquarters server.
Before beginning software installation, do the following:
Make sure that the server meets the physical requirements for the implementation. For more
information, see Server Requirements on page 179.
Close all programs on the server.
Note
When the installation wizard prompts you to enter the IP address of the Headquarters server, you
must enter the actual IP address and not the server name.
