Recording voice
messages

When recording voice messages, the data must be copied from the voice
server to the client PC via slow network connections. It is stored on the
client PC until the recording is stopped. Once recording is stopped, the
message is copied to the Exchange server mailbox. Therefore it is very
important to have adequate network bandwidth. Although lower speeds
may work, a minimum speed of 56 kilobits per second between the client
PC and the voice server is recommended.

Figure 2-2 shows the data flow when recording voice messages using the
telephone.
