Installing an Optional Feature

You must have purchased a license for the new feature prior to installing it. This license must also first be propagated to the NuPoint Unified Messaging system, through either an online or offline synchronization with the AMC. For more information about synchronization, see the NuPoint Unified Messaging Technician's Handbook.

Note : MiCollab versions of NuPoint UM use a different procedure (below).

For NuPoint UM Standalone

You can use either the MSL server manager or MSL server console to install software blades.

You can download and install software blades in a single step, or you can download them for installation at a later time. The first option ties up your computer for a short period of time. The second option, which is known as "caching," enables you to initiate the download and then use your computer for other purposes.
