5After receiving the activity status as successfully completed, click the Prepare CCE tab to continue.

 

 

Warning

 If the deployment environment consists of multiple-site with a single certificate, or a wild card certificate, ensure the CCE Site Name and the Edge Server Public Hostname are correct before proceeding.

Verifying and Updating the CCE Configuration INI File 

You must verify (and possibly correct) the CCE Configuration INI File after configuring the CCE.

Info

When deploying a High Availability (HA) systems, it is important to have Management IP Prefix unique on each HA system. For instance, if your HA Master CCE system has 192.168.213.x as the Management IP Prefix, you need to be sure to configure this attribute differently on HA Slave system. While doing this, also make sure that subnet that you are defining in this field does not conflict in your IP infrastructure.

  • The CCE deployment status is visible only on the Remote Desktop to the ASM. The WebUI indicates that the CCE is running while the deployment process is in progress.
  • While the CCE deployment is running, you should not perform any actions on the ASM via the WebUI (i.e., Shut Down/Reset/Reboot/Reinitialize/Install etc.).
  • If the Office 365 PSTN Site already exists in your tenant, ensure the other Appliance is removed, and the CCE Auto-Update time window is properly configured. This time window should be outside of a maintenance time window for the installationthe CCE Auto-Update time window is properly configured. If you are in a time window dedicated to the Auto-Update, you should use the command Set-CsHybridPSTNSite to set EnableAutoUpdate to $False. Replication of the information may take up to 30 minutes.
