Deploying
IBM® Sametime® consists of a variety of servers and clients, and can be deployed to suit many different environments. The deployment instructions are organized by feature set, beginning with the minimum components that are necessary to support instant messaging, and then expanding the deployment to include features such as audio and video support, and conferencing.
Deploying audio and video
Audio and video features are provided primarily by the IBM® Sametime® Media Manager, which supports point-to-point and multipoint calls. The Sametime Media Manager uses standard audio and video codecs so that it works with products from other audio and video vendors.
Deploying an IBM® SIP Edge Proxy server to support audio and video in the extranet
The IBM® SIP Edge Proxy server is a SIP application installed over an IBM WebSphere® Application Server. Since there is no specific installer for the IBM SIP Edge Proxy server, you use the IBM Sametime® Media Manager's SIP Proxy/Registrar installer, and then perform manual steps to configure the IBM SIP Edge Proxy server. Read the system requirements to ensure that you know the minimum supported software requirements.
Installing an IBM® SIP Edge Proxy server
You cannot install an IBM® SIP Edge Proxy server directly onto a computer because there is no package called IBM SIP Edge Proxy server. Instead, you first install a Sametime® SIP Proxy/Registrar, and then you remove the Sametime functionality from the server. You can then install the IBM SIP Edge Proxy server onto that computer.
Removing Sametime® functionality
Before you can install an IBM® SIP Edge Proxy server, you must remove the Sametime® functionality from the Sametime SIP Proxy/Registrar.

Removing Sametime functionality
