The Avaya Installation Wizard (IW)

You can use the Avaya Installation Wizard (IW) as a tool to assist you in the installation and upgrade
processes for S8300, S8500, and S8700 Media Servers and G350 and G700 Media Gateways. The
Installation Wizard is designed to get you up and running in a basic installation as quickly as possible.
For customized installations, optional custom templates are also available.
The Avaya Installation Wizard ships with the media server software and is accessible on the home page
of the Integrated Management web interface. The most recent version of IW, as well as its
documentation, can be accessed online at http://support.avaya.com/avayaiw.

What the IW Does and Does Not Do

The IW does not automate all tasks in an S8300 Media Server installation.
Of the tasks described in Chapter 3, Installing a New G700 with an S8300, the IW automates the
following:
•
Transfer Files from a CD or Laptop
•
Install New Software on the S8300
•
Configure the S8300
•
Configure the G700 Media Gateway
•
"Install Communication Manager Patch Files from Your Laptop, if Any", which is a subtask of
Install New Software on the S8300
•
"Administer Network Regions" for an S8300 Media Server as primary controller, which is a
subtask of
•
Administer the Media Gateway
The IW automates similar tasks in Chapters 4–6.
You must perform the following tasks manually, even though you are using the IW:
•
Install all hardware
•

NOTE:
To use the IW, Communication Manager Release 2.0 or later must be running on the
media server (S8300, S8500, or S8700). If the correct release of Communication Manager
has not been installed on the media server, you need to upgrade the software before you
begin using the IW.
