Setting Server Properties

  Microsoft Speech Technologies Homepage

This topic describes setting server properties as part of managing a speech application in the Microsoft Speech Server (MSS) environment.

Speech Engine Services (SES) and Telephony Application Services (TAS) need information about the application deployed to the Web server in order to service it. At a minimum, this information consists of the application Start page, for telephony applications, and the location of the application manifest file, if one exists, for multi-modal applications.

Setting MSS properties can be done by using the MSS snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), or by writing script against the MSS WMI classes.

Note  You can also use the snap-in to replicate server settings. For more information, refer to the MSS documentation.

To set MSS properties by using the MMC

Perform the following steps for each computer running TAS:

  1. Right-click the Telephony Application Services column in the details pane to open the properties page.
  2. In the Telephony Server Configurations tab, under Start page, enter the URL to the default Web page that TAS loads for this application at startup, or after a reset. (For a multiple application environment, this should always be TASStartpage.aspx on the Web server.)

Perform the following steps for each computer running SES:

  1. Right-click the Speech Engine Services column in the details pane to open the properties page.
  2. In Preloaded Resource Manifest, enter the path to the resource manifest page that SES retrieves at startup. For a multiple application environment, this should always be SESManifest.aspx, located on the Web server.

To set MSS properties by using WMI scripting

  1. Use the PreloadedResourceManifest property of the SpeechServer class to specify the application manifest file. (For a multiple application environment, this should always be SESmanifest.aspx.)
  2. Use the StartPageIn property of the TelephonyServer class to specify the Start page for inbound call applications. (For a multiple application environment, this should always be TASStartpage.aspx on the Web server.)

For more information about the supported WMI classes, methods and properties for MSS, refer to the MSS documentation.
