System Access Requirements

Deployment Privileges

Administrative privileges (root) on the machine are required to follow the deployment steps.

Internet access must also be available on the machine with inbound connections on port 9242 enabled.

Time Synchronization Requirements


If the system dates and times are not synchronized, the system can produce unpredictable results. Therefore, the EF applications and Cisco Contact Center should have their time zone and date/time properly configured, according to the geographic region and must be synchronized.


To configure the time zone, please see the instructions from the hardware or software manufacturer of the NTP server. The application servers should be synchronized. This synchronization should be maintained continuously and validated on a regular basis. For security reasons, the Network Time Protocol (NTP) V 4.1+ is recommended.
