Configuring The Media Server; Translating The Ipsis; Installing And Cabling The Media Gateways; Completing The Installation Administration - Avaya S8500 Installing And Configuring

Configuring the media server

Use the Avaya Installation Wizard to configure the media server. You must have the filled-out
Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet (EPW) that provides the customer's network information
needed for configuring the network components. As part of the Wizard, you install the license
and Avaya authentication files. This stage is done after installing the software.

Translating the IPSIs

This stage is done after the media server is configured. Once the license file is installed (as part
of the Avaya Installation Wizard), you have 30 minutes to complete this step before the license
file looks for the reference IPSI.

Installing and cabling the media gateways

You can do this stage before, in parallel with, or after installing and configuring the media server
complex. The media gateways must be installed and powered up to effectively complete many
of the other stages. The IPSI circuit packs can only be programmed in a powered up media
gateway.

Completing the installation administration

This stage finishes the installation. Clearing alarms, enabling alarm reporting, backing up the
server files, and registering the configuration. This stage always comes at the end of the
complete installation.

Testing the complete installation

This stage verifies the complete configuration operation and is the last task.
