Presence server (with database): Presence server, web server, VCX user 
database, and conference & presence database. 

E-Mail (sSMTP) Configuration — This portion of the script configures 
the Send-only Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (sSMTP) that enables the 
system to send e-mail notifications when conferences are created or 
modified, or when users add contacts to their buddy lists. 

Database Configuration — Select a database configuration for this 
server. Select “Local Master” if the server is going to host the master 
database (All-in-one server, or primary server in a distributed system). 
Select “Local Slave” if the server is going to host the slave database 
(secondary server in a distributed system). Select “Remote database” if 
the server is not going to host a database (all servers except the primary 
and secondary servers in a distributed system). 

IP Conferencing Module Configuration — Contains parameters for 
the VCX system software components, including the IP Conferencing 
Module. Activation keys are entered in this portion of the script. 

Follow these general guidelines when you perform an initial software 
installation. The installation varies depending on the number of servers 
you have (one, two, or more). 

General installation steps: 

1 On the single server, run the vcx-setup script: 

a When prompted to select the services the system will provide, select 1 

(presence and conference - all in one). 

b When prompted to select a database configuration, select 1 (Local 

Master: this server will have the master database). 

c When prompted to start the 3Com IP Conferencing Services, enter Y.

2 Complete the post-installation configuration (see
