Installing Avaya Site Administration
If you do not have ASA on your computer, make sure your personal computer (PC) or laptop
first meets the following minimum requirements:
Operating systems
Windows 2000
Windows XP
2003 (Standard and
Enterprise)
Graphics adapter
Floppy disk drive
CD-ROM
Available hard disk space
Printer port
Network adapter
Free serial ports
Install ASA on your computer using the Avaya Site Administration CD. Place the ASA CD in the
CD-ROM drive and follow the installation instructions in the install wizard.
ASA supports a terminal emulation mode, which is directly equivalent to using SAT commands
on a dumb terminal or through a Telnet session. ASA also supports a whole range of other
features, including the graphically enhanced interface (GEDI) and Data Import. For more
information see the Help, Guided Tour, and Show Me accessed from the ASA Help menu.

Avaya recommends that PCs have at least
a 16550A UART or 16550A UART
