How to create a custom server

To create a custom server you can either copy an existing custom server and modify it, or create a new one. To copy an existing custom server, you can either:

• From the Welcome window, select Applications —> Custom Servers
• Click Server —> Copy.

  You can also select multiple user functions to copy at the same time from one custom server to another.

• Or, Open an existing custom server or user function and click Save As to copy the existing object under a new name.
  Note: When you copy a custom server, definitions and configuration information are copied, but the contents of the custom server's subdirectory are not copied. If your new custom server needs files that are in the existing server's directory, use the procedures described in Importing files into the custom server directory to copy the files.

To create a new custom server (or to modify existing custom servers), you need to be familiar with programming logic and C language or C++ language programming. You should also understand how a custom server interacts with host applications and voice applications.
