Server and Client Requirements
This chapter describes the minimum hardware and software requirements for server and client systems. It also contains estimates for network traffic required by some common operations, and the disk space required for data storage.
Warnings:
Minimum specifications are a mandatory support requirement. If a server does not meet specifications (including partitioning requirements), customers (including those under maintenance) may be invoiced for support. The only specification that is not mandatory is recommended disk space.
The server and client requirements for custom applications and plug-ins may differ from those of the core product. Please contact your Process Automation consultant for information about the exact requirements of a specific custom application or plug-in. Sites should not be upgraded without consultation, as testing for each plug-in against the latest version must be prescheduled.

Remote access software. This software is used to connect to the system from a remote location (e.g., by the support company) for maintenance, upgrades, and support. This software, while site- specific, can be any remote access software product. Installation should be as per the installation manual accompanying that software.
Antivirus
Antivirus software should be disabled completely prior to performing a EICC server installation or upgrade. Refer to the Virus Protection Recommendations Technical Reference document (UID: Z20100908182522) for the virus protection recommendations for EICC servers.
Note:
When installing or upgrading EICC, it is recommended that the CTI Server antivirus software is disabled via the Microsoft Group Policy (or similar). This avoids the antivirus software from being restarted midway through the installation or upgrade process (such as during a server restart).
Firewall
In some cases, it may be necessary to configure the server firewall to allow the access necessary for the EICC applications to communicate. Refer to the Network and Firewall Settings Technical Reference document (UID: Z20100908182150) for information about the ports that require access to the EICC server.

Hardware Requirements
Warning:
Servers that do not meet the hardware specifications outlined in this section are NOT supported for use with EICC.
Tip:
The hardware requirements are the same for both physical and virtual servers.
Notes:
Due to the functional enhancements made during version EICC 2016 of EICC, the base configuration requirements have changed from earlier versions.
System Requirements are site specific, depending on call volume. Larger specifications may be required for heavy load Contact Centers, e.g. 500 calls per hour:
Standard Configuration: < 500 calls per hour High Traffic Configuration: > 500 calls per hour
Standard Configuration: <16 ports/<200 extensions/<1500 BHCC High Traffic Configuration: >16 ports/>200 extensions/>1500 BHCC
The maximum extension length supported by EICC is 8 digits.
Check with your PBX supplier to ensure that the extensions of your PBX comply with this requirement.
It is strongly recommended that the extension length is less than or equal to the local number length for that country:
Australia=8
New Zealand=7
UK=5-8.
US=7
Email Queuing does not provide email gateway or server features must stand behind a customer site Email server for virus and spam protection.
EICC is not supported when running in a clustered Windows environment. The application does not support high availability services.

Processor
Low Traffic Sites - Quad-core Nehalem-based Xeon @ 2.13GHz
High Traffic - Hex-core Nehalem-based Xeon @ 2.13GHz
Notes:
If there is an increase in extensions (implicit in Busy Hour Call Completion - BHCC) a hex-core processor should be considered.
If the system is to be utilized 24 hours a day, seven days a week, then a hex core processor is required (as for high traffic configuration above).
If the site / call center is not operational when you run system backups then a dual core processor is sufficient, however, at least a quad core processor is recommended.
Hard Disk
Minimum Capacity: 200 GB or higher.
RAID (disk redundancy): If this option is required, appropriate OS compatible hardware/software must be installed. Note that 80GB of free space after initial installation is strongly recommended.
Partitions: To prevent any large log files and/or database snapshots from causing the system to fail, either by filling up the Windows partition or the Enghouse Interactive Communications Center Data partition, the hard drive MUST be divided into the following three NTFS partitions:
C: This partition should contain the Windows operating system and must be at least 40 GB in size, with a minimum of 10GB of free hard disk space.
D: This partition will be used to install the EICC application suite and must be at least 80 GB in size.
E: This partition will be used to store EICC log files and must be at least 80 GB in size.
Memory
Minimum Specifications for Upgrades
Low Traffic Sites - 8 GB RAM Minimum
High Traffic - 12 GB RAM Minimum
Minimum Specifications for New Servers

Additional Cards
Dialogic or other voice card(s) required for Custom Announce, Voice Messaging, Voice Recording and Fax (the exact voice cards supported depends on the make and model of the PBX).
For established Fax installations, Dialogic Brooktrout, JCT and VFX cards are supported. Aculab Prosody X cards are supported on Communication Manager.
Dialogic Brooktrout cards are supported for new customer fax deployments. JCT and VFX cards are not supported.
For details of cards supporting Fax, see the Fax installation manual for your PBX platform.
Notes:
These cards are normally full-size or full-height cards (typically 107mm x 312mm). Prior to selecting your server hardware, you must confirm the physical size or characteristics of any option cards to ensure they will fit, as many servers will not accommodate these option cards.
Occasional fax issues may be experienced by some customers using Dialogic JCT or VFX cards; if these persist, Dialogic recommends upgrade to the newer Brooktrout (TR1034) technology. Brooktrout is the preferred Dialogic option for all new deployments. Known issues with legacy JCT/VFX fax cards are:
Reception of large multiple-page faxes.
Reception of faxes from some newer technology fax machine brands.
External Interfaces
Two compatible Network Interface Cards (NIC) suitable for connection to customers Local Area Network (LAN) and PBX connectivity are recommended.
Miscellaneous Hardware Requirements
Super VGA (1024 x 768), or higher resolution, video adapter and monitor
DVD drive
USB Port
Mouse or other pointing device
Keyboard
PCI slots (Sufficient 32-bit and/or 64-bit slots to support voice or fax cards as required. Refer to Additional Cards for more information).

Virtualization
EICC CTI services can be virtualized using either VMWare or Hyper-V. The virtualization overhead must be taken into account and servers deployed and managed to perform similarly to dedicated hardware.
Important Notes
Only dedicated resources are supported, not dynamic (e.g., dynamic memory).
EICC recommends NOT using dynamic memory in a virtual environment that hosts SQL Server.
EICC is supported in the following virtual environments:
VMWare vSphere 4.1, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5
Hyper-V for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012
Note:
VMWare vMotion (and vMotion Storage) have not specifically been lab-tested by Enghouse Systems but are known to be successfully used in conjunction with EICC CTI servers at existing customer sites. The CTI server will be briefly paused when migrated by vMotion. If this pause is short (< ~2 seconds) then it is likely that all external connections including the CTI link will be maintained and the migration will succeed without any loss of service. If the pause is longer, the connections may fail, and in the worst case services on the CTI server may need to be restarted to re-establish these connections.
Additional EICC Servers
File Servers
It is recommended that any file server hosting EICC client applications has a minimum of 200 MB free space and at least a 100 MB network interface connection.
Messaging Repeaters
The hardware and software minimum requirements are the same as those listed for the core installation of EICC, with the following exceptions:
Only 40 GB of hard disk space is required
Dual Core 2.4 GHz
2 GB RAM
The Messaging Repeater must be able to connect to the main CTI server via TCP (port 3124 by default). This connection is required when performing the Messaging Repeater installation, and this TCP port must be kept open while the Messaging Repeater is running

Reference the SignalR library. Web Chat Queuing is supported with SignalR version 2 and above.
Web Browser Support
Web Chat Queuing is supported with Internet Explorer 9, 10 and 11, as well as the latest versions of the following browsers:
Chrome for Windows
Chrome for Android
Firefox for Windows
Safari for iOS
Safari for OS X
Network and Storage Requirements
Network Infrastructure
Internet Protocol Version
Sites must be running IPv4, or a combination of IPv4 and IPv6. EICC is NOT supported on sites that run IPv6 exclusively.
Network Traffic
This section provides guidance for administrators making decisions about network design and client software installation.
Application Startup
The following figures show the data transferred each time a client application starts up, based on a system with an average-sized database:
Application Installed locally Run from a shortcut on the server
Desktop 1.5 MB 17.3 MB
Administrator 3.1 MB 20.7 MB
Message Traffic
WAN bandwidth: Where some client PCs are connected via WAN, a minimum of 256Kb of available bandwidth is recommended. A CTI Server Messaging Repeater server should be configured at the remote site to minimize the bandwidth required.
EICC 2016 - Avaya
© Enghouse Systems, Limited Publish Date: Monday, 21 December 2015 UID: Z20100908182600
Page 39 of 54
Networked Voice Messaging: 500KB of email message traffic is created for each minute of message or mailbox name recording transmitted across the network.
Multicasting: CTI Server uses UDP Multicasting for efficiency in distribution messages to client computers. UDP Multicasting should always be used, and it must be used if more than 50 client workstations are planned. If multicasting is disabled for some network segments, the number of IP packets transmitted to clients on those segments can be tripled or more.
Storage Requirements
Storage space requirements for the CTI Server depend strongly on the retention policies for Voice Messaging items, Fax items, and log files. Voice Messaging and Fax items are stored in the database. Log files are stored by default in the LogFiles subfolder of the installation.
Voice Messaging storage requires approximately 30 MB for an hour of recording. 1 GB of disk can store about 1000 two-minute messages.
Simple text Fax messages consume only about 2 MB per 100 pages. (Images can consume much larger amounts of space, but most Fax messages are text.)
Log file size depends on installed items, logging levels, and system activity. By default, log files are retained in native format for a week, and in compressed format for a month. On a busy system, log files can consume several gigabytes of space.

Settings in Administrator determine how many queued emails will be advertised calls.
5. Total Queued Emails:EICC can queue up to 10,000 emails, but only advertises details for up to 1000 of these to the rest of the system. Emails that are queued but have not been advertised (nonadvertised emails) are included in the queue totals and averages reported in client applications but details of these emails are not available in Desktop.
6. BHCA (Busy Hour Call Attempts): The peak traffic in calls per hour.
Warning:
It is not recommended to mix Dialogic and Aculab ports in the same server.

Notes
1. Enghouse Systems will automatically support the latest minor (x.1-9) firmware release in the field on current Enghouse Systems releases.
2. If firmware updates from Avaya cause issues requiring additional Enghouse Systems development, Enghouse Systems will only provide Software Updates on the latest General Release version of EICC, and customers will be required to upgrade to this version (if they are not already on it). This document will then be updated to state the version of EICC supported for this firmware.
3. x.0 releases must always be reviewed and tested by Enghouse Systems before a support statement is made.
4. A dependency was introduced in IP Office version 8.1, whereby the Message Wait indicator will not function correctly unless the IP Office is configured with a Voicemail Type of Voicemail Lite/Pro. For instructions on performing this configuration, see the Technical Information Bulletin Configuring the IP Office for Voicemail Lite/Pro.
5. EICC EICC 2016 supports ACM 6.3 with AES 6.3.

TAPI and Redundancy Support
Important Note:
Due to limitations in the TAPI implementation for the Avaya IP Office, EICC DOES NOT support IP Office Server Edition multi-node failover scenarios.
In the event of a failover from Primary to Secondary IP Office Server Edition, a TAPI application is unable to regain control of the failed-over Agents/Queues/Voiceports; once they are controlled by the Secondary node.
EICC does however support a Redundancy Configuration where both Primary and Secondary EICC instances are pointing to the same IP Office node. In this case, the normal EICC Redundancy operates, whereby the PBX module on the Secondary EICC will connect to the Primary IP Office node if the Primary EICC fails.
EICC Redundancy is best suited to a traditional redundancy setup, and will be unable to work as intended if IP Office multi-node failover is configured.

Queue calls delivered when Phone is set to DND
ACM: If EICC is made aware of the DND at the phone via the CTI link, then the agent is placed in a supervisory break. If a DND button is programmed, queue calls are delivered through DND.
IPO: agent is put into a supervisory break and calls are not delivered.
Queue Calls delivered when Phone is set to Forward All
ACM: Call is not delivered, but we detect the forward on the phone and agent is placed into a 'supervisory break'. Forward NoAnswer and Forward Busy also block the delivery of calls. If the customer uses ‘Send all Calls’ then the queue call can be delivered over ‘Send All Calls’.
