The following activities must take place before you can install an Avaya S8300 Media Server with an
Avaya G700 Media Gateway:
•
A meeting is held with the customer to complete the Preinstallation Worksheet. The Preinstallation
Worksheet contains specific information about the customer's network configuration and
telephony requirements. This information is required to use the Avaya Installation Wizard to
configure the Avaya IP solution.
•
The following steps are completed to retrieve the required license files and password files from
Remote Feature Activation (RFA):
1 - For an S8300 Media Server as a primary controller only, one license file with FEAT_DADMIN
on must be retrieved by selecting FEAT_DADMIN on the RFA Features screen.
2 - For an S8300 primary controller installation completed by an Avaya technician (not required
for installations completed by Avaya authorized dealer technicians), a second license file with
FEAT_DADMIN off must be retrieved by clearing the FEAT_DADMIN selection on the RFA
Features screen. The Modify System Record function is used to create the second license file.
This step is not required for installations completed by Avaya authorized dealer technicians.
Note: Each license file must be labeled carefully because the files will be used at different
points in the installation process.
3 - The password file is retrieved.
•
The most recent versions of software and firmware are retrieved from the support.avaya.com
website. The firmware updates must be uploaded onto the S8300 Media Server. The Avaya
Communication Manager update can be uploaded onto the S8300 Media Server or can remain on
the laptop PC used for the Avaya Installation Wizard.
Important: To use the Avaya Installation Wizard, Release 1.1.2 or later of the Communication
Manager must be on the S8300 Media Server. If a pre-1.1.2 release of the Communication
Manager is installed on the S8300 Media Server, the software must be upgraded before the
Avaya Installation Wizard can be used.
•
If you are using the Avaya Installation Wizard, get the customer's name and number file and the
customer's electronic Preinstallation Worksheet from your installation project manager. Copy
these files to your laptop. You may also receive a template for setting up customer telephony
parameters. The Preinstallation Worksheet contains instructions for the worksheet and the Name/
Number Files.
•
The technician is advised if ProVision will be used in addition to the Avaya Installation Wizard.
ProVision can be used to upload all of the Communication Manager translations, or a subset of
the translations. Information on the Avaya Installation Wizard options for ProVision is in the
Preinstallation Worksheet.
