Avaya has chosen Symantec pcAnywhere as the preferred solution for remote access and remote control Alternative Remote Access Solutions include: – GoToMyPC – LogMeIn Pro – VNC Personal Edition – WebEx PCNow

(IP Office Technical Tip 183) – Description: Making changes using Windows Remote Desktop can cause the call flows to disappear from the Voic Pro Client. Once saved, the configuration does not allow future changes to the call flows. Importing a backup call flow is the only workaround if this problem occurs. – Solutions: Use an alternate remote access software program If Windows Desktop must be used, use the method documented in IP Office Technical Tip 91: mstsc –v:servername /F –console

You can use the Voic Pro Client remotely from another computer after a Voic Pro Administrator account is created. Demonstration of adding a Voic Pro Administrator NOTE: By default new users are created as Inactive. The status changes to Active when the account connects to a Voic Pro server.
