VoIP lab - what PC spec to build call manager 6

[mark.tutton]

Hi,

I would like to build a CCVP lab (2-3 phones), I have the routers and switches, but don't know what PC or OS would be best to install the CUCM 6 software on.

My questions are:

1. Would it be best to install CUCM 6 on a Windows PC using VMWare?

2. If so, what specification would be recommended and which platform?

Thanks to any responses in advance.

regards

Mark

Hi Rob,

thank you for this great info from me, too.

Do you also know how find the service in the network (IP address) and how to log in to the system by any chance? I've bought the DVD, but it came without any documentation and I haven't found any online either.

Thanks,

Peter
