Important: note the following before selecting a TASKE server computer and installing the TASKE Contact server applications:

  • the requirements in this article operate on the assumption that the TASKE server computer is dedicated to TASKE server applications.

  • TASKE does not support systems where the server computer is also an Active Directory Server, a Primary Domain Controller (PDC), a Backup Domain Controller (BDC), or an Exchange Server.

  • the requirements in this article are recommended for sites with up to 50 agents. Sites with more than 50 agents and high call volume should increase the server computer processing speed.

  • TASKE does not currently recommend using computers with multiple processors as TASKE server computers.

  • although a desktop computer is acceptable for the TASKE server computer, TASKE recommends using an entry-level server computer. Regardless of the type of computer used, a Microsoft® server-level operating system is recommended.

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 is the required Avaya CentreVu® Computer Telephony Server operating system.

  • The MERLIN MAGIX telephone system requires an MLX card to connect with the Eicon Diva ISDN card in the TASKE server computer.

  • If using a rack-mount Avaya CentreVu Computer Telephony Server, order a low-profile Eicon Diva 2.02 card from TASKE.

Summary

The table below outlines the system requirements for TASKE Contact server and client computers.
