High level overview of installation process

The installation process is completed in what may be considered stages. Some stages can be completed in
parallel, and others require that certain tasks be accomplished before the stages can be completed. The
order that the particular stages are completed depends on local practice and the personnel available. The
high level stages are:
•

Installing the media gateways.

•

Cabling the media gateways.

•
Connecting the media gateways to the media server complex.
•
Connecting to the customer's network (media servers, C-LAN, VAL, and so forth).
•
Installing and wiring telephones and trunks.
•
Completing the installation administration (clear alarms, enable alarm reporting, backup
translation, and so forth).
•
Testing the complete installation.
The high level stages, as presented above, represent the order they are presented here. The order can be
changed to accommodate local practice or requirements.
Installing 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.
Cabling the media gateways
This stage is the physical cabling of the media gateways to the main distribution frame and patch panels.
This stage generally follows installing the media gateways and is a prerequisite to installing traditional
telephones.

Connecting the media gateways

This stage connects the media gateways to the server complex via Ethernet cables. IP Server Interface
(IPSI) circuit packs are programmed during this stage. This stage depends on the server complex being
operational.

Connecting to the customer's network

You can do this stage anytime, but to allow testing along the way it should come after the media gateways
are cabled and connected to the media server complex.
