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 those
stages can be completed. The order that the particular stages are completed depends on a
prescribed order, 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
G650 Media Gateway being installed and the server complex being operational.
