16 Installing the Avaya™ S8700 Media Server with Avaya™ MCC1 or SCC1 Media Gateway

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 while others will require that certain tasks are accomplished before they
can be completed. The order that the particular stages are completed will depend on local
practice and the personnel available. The high level stages are:
Install and configure the S8700 Media Server complex (Servers, Ethernet switch(es),
•
UPSs).
Customize the S8700 Media Server (Avaya™ Communication Manager translations).
•
• Install the media gateways.
Cable the media gateways.
•
Connect the media gateways to the server complex.
•
• Connect to the customer's network (Servers, C-LAN, VAL, etc.)
Install and wire telephones.
•
Complete the installation (clear alarms, enable alarm reporting, backup translation, etc.)
•
• Test the complete installation.
The high level stages, as presented above, represent the order they are presented here.
Obviously, the order could be changed to accommodate local practice or requirements.
Install and configure the S8700 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.

Customize the S8700 Media Server

This stage depends on the install and configure S8700 Media Server complex stage. It could be
put off until later in the installation process. However, verifying success for some stages
(connect to the customers network, install phones, connect the media gateway to server)
requires that Avaya Communication Manager be translated and operational.

Installation of the media gateways

You can do this stage in parallel with installing and configuring the server complex. The media
gateways must be installed and powered up to effectively complete many of the other stages.
