Downloading Required and Recommended Software

For download instructions, refer to the "Downloading the Software for a Cisco Unity Bridge Installation or Upgrade" section of Release Notes for Cisco Unity Bridge Release 3.0<x> at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.

The downloads are all self-extracting executable files. When all downloads are complete, extract the updates and burn CDs that contain the extracted files.

With the exception of Cisco Security Agent for Cisco Unity Bridge, required and recommended software is available on the Cisco Unity Bridge 3.0(x) CD. However, we recommend that you download the latest Microsoft service packs and updates, some of which may have been released or updated after the CD was produced.

---

Caution Until you have installed all of the recommended service packs and updates, and, optionally, Cisco Security Agent for Cisco Unity Bridge and virus-scanning software, third-party components installed on the Bridge server have significant security vulnerabilities. Do not connect the Bridge server to the network to install software. Instead, burn CDs that contain the downloaded software, and install the software from the CDs.
