Obtaining Optional Language Files; Completing The Rfa Process (Obtaining License And Authentication Files) - Avaya g700 Installation And Upgrades

Obtaining optional language files

Optional languages are any language other than English (us-eng or us-tdd). If optional
languages are used with this IA770, download the appropriate language files from a language
CD after the upgrade. The customer should have the language CD(s) at the site. If not, you
need to obtain the appropriate language CD(s) and take them to the site.
Completing the RFA process
(obtaining license and authentication files)
Every S8300 media server and local survivable processor (LSP) requires a current and correct
version of a license file in order to provide the expected call-processing service.
The license file specifies the features and services that are available on the S8300 media
server, such as the number of ports purchased. The license file contains a software version
number, hardware serial number, expiration date, and feature mask. The license file is
reinstalled to add or remove call-processing features. New license files may be required when
upgrade software is installed.
The Avaya authentication file contains the logins and passwords to access the S8300 media
server. This file is updated regularly by Avaya services personnel, if the customer has a
maintenance contract. All access to Communication Manager from any login is blocked unless
a valid authentication file is present on the S8300 media server.
A new license file and the Avaya authentication file may be installed independently of each
other or any other server upgrades.
Note:
For an upgrade, you do not normally need to install a new authentication file (with
Note:
a .pwd extension). However, if one is required, follow the same steps as with a
license file.
Downloading license file and Communication Manager
versions for an LSP
The license file of the S8300 as a Local Survivable Processor must have a feature set that is
equal to or greater than that of the media server that acts as primary controller (an S8300,
S8500, S8700, S8710, or Blade Server). This is necessary so that if control passes to the LSP,
it can allow the same level of call processing as that of the primary controller.
Additionally, the LSP must have a version of Communication Manager that is the same as, or
later than, that of the primary controller.
Note:
The license file requirements of the LSP should be identified in your planning
