<h4>CDR User</h4>
<p>For TIM Enterprise to connect to the Avaya BCM v3.x you will need to
create a <span class="reference">CDR User</span> on it. This can be done in the Business
Communications Manager Unified Manager appliction, under the <span class="button">System</span> options.</p>
<p>The Avaya BCM v3.x connection requires TIM Enterprise to use the Microsoft
DCOM object. Microsoft has increased the security in DCOM after
Windows XP Service Pack 2. If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2+
you will need to make sure that the username and password are set as
exactly as the same the Windows username and password.</p>
