Error in unpacking web server ROOT

During installation, the software will automatically unpack certain folders on your computer. The compressed file of the installation package is:

C:/Program Files (x86)/Voicent/Gateway/webapps/ROOT.war

This file will be automatically unpack and create a folder names ROOT. When the system failed to finish the unpacking, the installation will fail.

This problem is usually caused by slow computer hard drive. You can click the Start button again to try to unpack.

One thing that may slow down the unpacking is your anti virus software. It may scanning the newly created files in the background. You can temporarily turn off these programs and try to start Voicent again. Once it starts successfully, you can turn on the anti-virus program again.

If it continues to fail, you may have a very slow hard drive. Try it on a different computer.

Failed to unpack web server ROOT

During installation, the software will automatically unpack certain folders on your computer. The compressed file of the installation package is:

C:/Program Files (x86)/Voicent/Gateway/webapps/ROOT.war

This file will be automatically unpack and create a folder names ROOT. When the system failed to create this new folder, the installation will fail.

This problem is usually caused by folder permissions. Either you do not have administrator privilege to install the software, or there is something wrong with the folders. Try to fix the permission issue and try to start the program again.

If you cannot fix the permission issue, you can rerun the installer, and choose a different installation folder for the program. Or try on a different computer.

Call escalation for security alert

I would like to know if your system can support the following scenario,

We have several customers that would like to be notified if we identify an attack on their network,
Each customer has his own escalation path (few escalation points, in case the previous didn’t answer).

The scenario:
1. We identify an attack on a customer
2. Our monitoring system generates an alert, sent to Voicent (using API?)
3. A call is being make to the 1st person on the escalation path, who needs to acknowledge the call
4. 2nd attempt after 2 minutes if no acknowledge received
5. A call to the 2nd person on the escalation path, if no acknowledge received (And so forth)
6. Incident closed after acknowledge is received or we exhausted all escalation path

Yes, it can be implemented easily through our API.

In step 2, when you send a call request to Voicent using the API, you will get a request ID back. In 2 minute, you can check the call status using the request ID. If it is confirmed (for example, someone pressed 1 to confirm), you can close the incident. If not, you can send another call request for the next person to be notified.

You can also design your call message using a dynamically generated message using text-to-speech, or a fixed on using pre-recorded audio file. In addition, you can design confirmation code.

The Voicent system should take care of the rest.
