High level overview of installation process

High level overview of installation process
The installation process is completed in what may be considered stages. Some stages can be completed in
parallel, and others require that certain tasks be accomplished before the stages can be completed. The
order that the particular stages are completed depends on local practice and the personnel available. The
high level stages are:
•
Installing the media server complex (media servers and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs)).
•

Installing Release 2.0 of Avaya Communication Manager.

•
Configuring the Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA).
•
Configuring the media server.
•
Customizing the media server (Avaya Communication Manager translations).
•
Installing the media gateways.
•
Cabling the media gateways.
•
Connecting the media gateways to the media server complex.
•
Connecting to the customer's network (media servers, C-LAN, VAL, and so forth).
•
Installing and wiring telephones and trunks.
•
Completing the installation administration (clear alarms, enable alarm reporting, backup
translation, and so forth).
•
Testing the complete installation.
The high level stages, as presented above, represent the order they are presented here. The order can be
changed to accommodate local practice or requirements.

Installing the media server complex

You can complete this stage in parallel with the installation of the media gateways. However, we
recommend that you complete this step first as it is prerequisite to many of the other stages.
Installing Release 2.0 of Avaya
Communication Manager
The media server is shipped with a blank hard disk. The operating system, directories, and files needed
for the media server are installed from a bootable CD containing the operating system and
Communication Manager. This stage must be done immediately after installing the media server
hardware.

Configuring the Remote Supervisor Adapter

The Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) monitors various components and environmentals on the media
server. The RSA comes installed from the factory with Avaya defaults but must be configured to fit your
specific installation. You administer the RSA through its own Web interface. You set the IP address for
the RSA through the media server Maintenance Web Interface.
