Software

Operating systems

Important

  • Current service packs are required.

  • The XPhone Connect Server must not be installed on a terminal server or domain controller.

Microsoft client access license (CAL)

For Microsoft, you also need CAL licenses, which authorises the server license to accept client connections. This can be realised in different ways:

  1. Licenses can be acquired for each server so that any number of clients can be active in the network but only a certain number is authorised to connect to the corresponding server. This solution is often more useful if only one server is present in the network.

  2. The licenses are acquired per workstation so that the workstation is able to connect to any number of servers in the network. This option is often more economical for several servers.

Bei Serverprodukten aus dem Hause Microsoft sind meist eine kleine Anzahl an Clientzugriffslizenzen beigelegt.

Software components

These software components are required before XPhone Server installation and are not part of the installation wizard.

  • Microsoft .NET Framework: 4.8

  • Microsoft .NET Framework: 3.5 SP1

  • Microsoft Windows Powershell 5.1

  • MAPI for Exchange 2016/2019: Microsoft Outlook 2016/2019 (32-Bit) [3]

These software components are required, depending on the features to be used and operating mode, and installed by the installation wizard.

  • Microsoft SQL 2019 Express

  • Microsoft .NET CORE 6.0.25

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable

  • OpenSSH [4]

  • TE-Systems XCAPI [5]

Web front end - administration

C4B tests each available browser version when releasing the product. Using the specified version provides the best performance. With older versions, technically related restrictions may occur.

  • Firefox: 71

  • Chrome: 79

  • Edge: 44

Virtualisation

Fewer physical servers, smaller computing centres, therefore lower energy consumption, increased availability through different tools; these are only a few advantages of virtualisation. The following virtualisations are supported:

  • VMware ESX / ESXi Server

  • Microsoft Hyper-V

  • Citrix Xen Server

Hint

When connecting UM services in virtual environments, sufficient system capacities must be available for the XPhone Connect IP channels (XCAPI interface) at all times. A dedicated processor core is an advantage. For more information, see the technical documentation for XCAPI. In a virtual environment, the virtualised computer must also use the host system’s hardware timer as purely virtualised timers are usually not precise enough for voice transmission. For more detailed information on hardware/virtual timer, please refer to the documentation offered by the virtualisation provider.
