Starting The New Server - Avaya Equinox Manual

Installing the new streaming and recording server

Starting the new server

If you have the Avaya-provided server (The Avaya Common Server), the Microsoft Windows
R2 license is already configured on your server.
If you are providing your own hardware, Avaya provides a temporary license for Microsoft
™
Windows 2012 R2, which you should replace with a permanent license after the installation. The
Windows Imaging Format (WIM) prompts it after the boot.

statically assigned IP addresses, as the IP address needs to remain constant. If you do
choose to use dynamically assigned IP addresses, your network must be DHCP-enabled.
4. Choose S for statically assigned IP addresses or D for dynamically assigned IP addresses.
If you choose D, the setup tries to obtain an address. If you choose S, you are prompted to
