Can I use ACCS on the IPO Anywhere demo?

[kyle555]

I've had some downtime lately and figured I'd play around with R11. The knowledge base mentions that there's 1 license for a ACCS instance included amongst other things like power users and whatnot.

Just wondering if it's worth the huge download and if the Anywhere demo actually has a WebLM I can point a ACCS box at and try using it.

This is what you get with the demo and ACCS is included (although not something that I'd use). There is also a WebLM server.

What's your beef with ACCS?

I'm an enterprise guy and try to keep up with IPO when I got some free time, so I'm not touching the platform regularly.

If I had to guess...

From 30,000 ft, you'd think it'd be easy to take an enterprise platform and lock it down a bit and make it turnkey for a SMB platform. And then executing on that idea is something completely different and it just wound up being another overly convoluted application bolted on to IPO that's too bloated and complicated to deploy and support effectively.

That would be my guess why you don't recommend it!

Next question - I see server edition instances at 4... is that the thing I need to hook up a secondary server edition or a IP500? Is it possible to add a IP500 to the IPO Anywhere VM?

No beef with ACCS but not something I can see using.

The manual says

This document only covers installing a single instance of IP Office Anywhere ignited as an IP Office
Server Edition primary server. However, experienced engineers can install additional instances
ignited as secondary and/or expansion servers. The pre-built IP Office Anywhere primary server
configuration includes licenses for a network of 4 servers.

No mention of an IPO500 but it may have been mentioned before.

IP500 is possible

IP Office remote service
IP Office certificate check
CLI based call blocking
SCN fallback over PSTN
