Appendix C: Installing The Wlan Management System Software - Avaya WLAN 8100 Quick Start Manual

Appendix C: Installing the WLAN
Use this procedure to install the current release of the WLAN Management System (WMS) software
on Windows Server 2003, Windows 2008, or Linux platforms. This procedure covers the steps as
necessary to install WMS on either the Linux or Windows platforms.
This procedure also describes additional steps that you need to perform if you have a previous
version of WMS installed.
Before you begin
• Ensure that you have administrative privileges on your computer to perform the install.
• Download the latest version of the WMS application software from the Avaya Support site
http://www.avaya.com/support.
• If you have a previous version of the WMS installed, you can either upgrade the WMS, or
uninstall the previous version and perform a fresh install.
Upgrade of the WMS is supported only from releases 2.x.x. The upgrade procedure
automatically performs a back up of the required files (database, license and .smx files) and
installs the current version of WMS. For more information on upgrading the WMS, see Applying
Upgrades and Patches to Avaya WLAN 8100, NN47251-402.
If you require to manually uninstall the previous version of the WMS, ensure that you do the
following.
Be sure to note down the paths to the location of these files on your computer.
- Perform a database backup.
- During the uninstall, backup the license file and .smx files as necessary, to a location on
your computer. You will be prompted to restore the files during the install.
• Ensure that you close any open instances of an external TFTP server.
When you install WMS, a built-in TFTP server is automatically installed and bound to the
default TFTP port (port 69). So before you begin WMS install, you must close any running
instances of an external TFTP server. Otherwise, the built-in WMS TFTP server does not get
started.
