FTP access to call recordings requires ports 20 (FTP) and 21 (FTP)
Bandwidth
ContactPad uses 8 kilobytes per second (KBps)
Real Time uses 16 KBps (based on 100 agent, 2 groups, and 2 queue icons)
Recommendation bandwidth = (number of ContactPad users x 8 KBps) + (number of Real Time users x 16 KBps)
A call center with 20 agents using ContactPad, 2 supervisors using Real Time and 1 wallboard user using Real Time will need: (20 x 8 KBps) + (2 x 16 KBps) + (1 x 16 KBps) = 208 KBps
You can use lower bandwidths, but lower bandwidths will result in slower refresh rates and a poor user experience.

Latency
Maximum 250 ms for optimum agent experience.

Connections
To meet the demand of real-time communications and avoid call quality issues, you must use a wired Ethernet connection rather than a wireless connection.
Virtual environments
Vonage Contact Center has been verified to work with virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI), Citrix Workspace and VMware Horizon. Vonage therefore supports VCC in these VDIs as long as the issue in those environments is reproducible in a non-VDI environment. If you are unable to reproduce an issue in a non-VDI environment, Vonage will provide best-effort support, and refer you to your IT support team, provider (Citrix or VMware), or both, for additional support. Other VDIs are not yet supported.
Date and time settings
Accurate time is important for the correct operation of Vonage Contact Center (VCC). Ensure that computers used with VCC have their time correctly set; we recommend that you synchronize the date and time with an external time source such as a Network Time Protocol (NTP) provider.

To ensure Vonage Contact Center continues to function correctly, you must maintain supported versions of integrated Salesforce packages. We cannot support deprecated or retired versions. |
Item | Requirement/recommendation |
---|---|
Minimum version |
|
Salesforce |
accounts and licenses | The |
Vonage Contact Center managed package requires a Salesforce.com account to establish the API connection between Salesforce |
and Vonage Contact Center accounts.
|
All of your Salesforce users must have a Salesforce license—other than a Communities license—to use Vonage Contact Center in Salesforce.
| |||
Session Settings | Sessions must not be locked to the IP address from which they originated. For information about this and other session settings, see Salesforce help. | ||
Web browser | For information about required browsers, see Salesforce help. | ||
Number format | Telephone numbers within Salesforce should be in E.164 format (maximum is 15 digits). For |
Phone numbers include:
- a + sign to indicate that the number is international
- a country code, such as 44
- a region code, such as 1234 (remove the leading zero if applicable)
- the subscriber number, such as 567890
information about the E.164 format, see E.164 format. The format of the number is required for dynamic call routing, screen popping and Click to dial. | |
API calls | Your organization must be enabled for API access. You must also operate within the API request limits set by Salesforce for your account. As a guide, each read and each write to and from Salesforce makes one API call. For example, 100 calls make 200 API calls. |
Data requirements | You must have enough Salesforce data storage available for your use. For information about data storage limits in Salesforce, see Salesforce help. As a guide, each call made or received |
in Vonage Contact Center generates a Salesforce task record. Task records are 2 kilobytes (KB). |
Connect
Salesforce CTI | We provide a Call Center definition file for you to import. The imported Call Center uses Open CTI. You do not need to install a CTI adapter. |

jobs. Salesforce limit is 100 jobs per organization. | |
Storage requirements | You must have enough Salesforce data storage available for your use. For information about data storage limits in Salesforce, see Salesforce help. By default, Salesforce stores 8 days' worth of statistics. The retention period is configurable. Each active agent generates one statistics record per day. |
4 MB of rolling transaction logs. Use the following calculation to estimate your storage requirements: (2 KB x (average number of calls per day + average number of active agents per day) |
x retention period (days)) + |
4 MB For example, if your call center receives an average of 1000 calls per day, with an average of 100 active agents per day, and you use the default retention period, use the following calculation to estimate your storage requirements: (2 KB x (1000 + 100) x 8) + |

Motivate
For information about prerequisites for Motivate, see the relevant sections in Motivate.
Screen Recording in Vonage Contact Center (Vonage CC Screen Recording desktop application)
The Vonage CC Screen Recording desktop application requires a stable internet connection. In addition, the application has the following system requirements:
Bandwidth
The minimum bandwidth required for screen recording is approximately 200 KBps for each screen being recorded.
Note |
---|
This is only a guide — actual bandwidth used depends on what the agent is doing on their recorded screens; recording screens that include videos will require a much larger bandwidth than recording a static screen. |
RAM
2 GB
Disk space
The installation directory needs approximately 300 MB.
Telephony
Item | Requirement/recommendation |
---|---|
PSTN connectivity | A direct dial-in (DDI), also called direct inward dialing (DID), is required for each agent. We recommend that you do not reuse legacy or known DDIs (unless the DDIs are unknown to end customers). |
Direct dial-in (DDI)/Direct inward dialing (DID) | The DDI may be on an existing private branch exchange (PBX), landline or mobile. If using an existing PBX for voice connectivity, ensure that you are using basic voice connectivity only—you should disable hunt groups, voicemail, and forwarding. You must also ensure that you can accommodate sufficient channels for all your concurrent users. |
Voice over IP (VoIP) | If using IP telephony provided by |
Vonage Contact Center, to achieve high-quality VoIP calls, your IP network has the following requirements:
|
|
|
|
You can use Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power IP hardphones supplied by |
Vonage Contact Center. If PoE is not supported you must order separate power supplies for each phone, specifying which plug socket type you require. | |
Audio file format | Most audio files in .wav format can be played. For information about the required audio format, see Recording and preparing audio used in applets. |
Note |

Ports (server-side)
Signaling: 443
Presence: 443
Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP): 10,000-20,000
Signaling: TCP
Presence: TCP
RTP: User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
Firewalls should allow outgoing UDP to the public internet from the browsers that will be using the Softphone client, and allow return traffic in response.
NewVoiceMedia Softphone servers use dynamic IP addresses from a public range of IP addresses. We therefore strongly recommend that your firewall does not limit access to a specific range of IP addresses. The IP addresses used can be any of the IP addresses within the NVM platform. For a list of potential IP addresses, see https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json.
Firewall Configuration
IP Addresses
The URLs of our data centers with corresponding IP addresses are shown in the following table. The appropriate IP addresses must be added to any existing firewall permissions.
We recommend adding the appropriate URLs and IP addresses to any firewall rules that restrict employee access, and we request that you treat ContactWorld as a business critical application. By this we mean optimizing and prioritizing IP traffic to ContactWorld over other non-critical traffic. This is to ensure real-time responses to agent requests (call steering buttons, call transfers, hold requests, and so on).
We recommend that any IP packet inspection or local caching policies are also reviewed, to optimize the user experience.
Outbound IP addresses
Outbound IP addresses are used for standard web access, for example agents and supervisors accessing ContactWorld applications. All customers will need to allow this.
Inbound IP addresses
Inbound IP addresses are used when ContactWorld interacts with an external system where IP white-listing is in place. Such systems include Salesforce; a customer owned, or managed, server or service; and other cloud provider services.
Supported browsers | For the best experience, we recommend that you use WebRTC with the latest versions of Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (Chromium).
| ||
Salesforce integration | WebRTC is only supported in Salesforce Lightning Experience and in the console view in Salesforce Classic. For information about Salesforce console, see Salesforce help. | ||
Backup phone | All agents should have access to an alternative phone as a backup for WebRTC. | ||
Alternative phone | We recommend that agents have access to an alternative phone for non-Vonage Contact Center related calls. | ||
Media autoplay | If using Microsoft Edge (Chromium), agents must allow audio to play automatically either for all sites or for the following URLs:
For information about media autoplay, see Microsoft Support. |
