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.
Installing and wiring telephones
This stage, in most cases, requires that the configuration be operational and responsive so you
can test the phones as they are wired and placed. Of course, there may be variations. IP
telephones that are connected to the customer's network could be placed well before
completing the installation. When wiring is being installed for traditional telephones and
consoles (analog and/or digital), make every effort to place the phones when they can be
tested.
Completing the installation
This stage finishes the installation. Clearing alarms, enabling alarm reporting, backing up the
servers, hooking up the modems (if used) and registering the configuration. This stage will
always come at the end of the actual installation.
Testing the complete installation
This stage verifies the complete configuration operation and is always the last thing you do.
