Distributed systems have separate servers for the UC Monitor console and the collectors. Use this procedure to install the collectors in a Cisco or Avaya environment.

Note: In a Microsoft Lync environment, you configure a Microsoft server as a Lync collector. For more information, see the UC Monitor online help. Or review the use case titled Managing Collectors in Microsoft Lync Environments from the CA Unified Communications Monitor bookshelf.
