Once the route is set up, the VCX system will forward conference calls to
the designated endpoints—conference servers that provide a “routing”
function by redirecting calls to ”hosting” conference servers. A single
conference server can provide both routing and hosting functionality.
Setting up a Route to the Conference Attendant Servers
As with conference servers, it is necessary to configure a route for
conference attendant servers. The VCX dial plan is used for this purpose.
If you have only one server, then a route to a single endpoint is required.
If you have multiple servers, then a route to at least two endpoints are
required for redundancy.
Test E-Mail Notification Setup
You must test the e-mail setup by logging in to the system and sending
an e-mail message using Send-only Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (sSMTP).
If you fail to receive the test e-mail message, you can check for errors in
/opt/logs/vcx-linux/maillog.
Adding the Presence Server as a Trusted Host
To enable presence to function properly, you must add the presence
server to the VCX system as a trusted host.

Information
The 3Com VCX V7000 hardware servers communicate with each other
using IP addresses. These addresses must be dedicated (static) and must
be compatible with your network design.
One or more 3Com IP Conferencing Module servers may be added to a
VCX system.
Using DNS 3Com recommends that you configure your DNS servers so that they
know the IP addresses of all VCX servers and gateways. If you prefer to
not use DNS, you can edit the /etc/hosts files on the IP Conferencing
Module and all of the VCX servers.
3Com does not support NIS or WINS as domain name resolution methods
for VCX products.
