Universal Voice using Flash Media Gateway
Supported operating systems
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (32 bit)
Hardware requirements
- 2GHz quad-core Intel Xeon processor (3GHz quad-core Intel Xeon recommended)
- 4GB of RAM
- 2GB of available hard-disk space for installation; 10GB of available hard-disk space for operation
- NTFS file system
- CD-ROM drive
Network requirements
- TCP/IP — 100Mbps (1Gbps recommended)

To use Universal Voice, you will need to install and configure Adobe Flash Media Gateway. Flash Media Gateway needs to be configured to place calls through a SIP-compliant end point that allows calls to be routed to your preferred audio conferencing service.
While Flash Media Gateway can be installed on the same system as the application server, it is recommended that it be installed on a separate system.
Using CQ
Please see http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/deploying/technical_requirements.html for requirements
While CQ can be installed on the same system as the application server, it is recommended that it be installed on a separate system.
