Checking the Voice System, Modem, and Network Addressing

This section assumes that the system just arrived from the factory and you have cabled the componets together, or that you have successfully installed or updated the system software.

Accessing the system

Once the software is installed, you can access the system administration in either of two ways:

• From the console with the Netscape browser
• From any computer that has LAN access and a browser

Log in to the system from the console

1. At the console, log in as craft (or sa if you are the system administrator) with the default password.
   
2. As soon as you log in, the system displays the Netscape browser with the Administration Main Menu.
   
   If you have logged in as TSC, rather than craft or sa, type webadmin to display the web-based administration pages. If you choose to administer the system from the command line, the system populates the web-based administration pages for you.
   

Access the web-based administration pages

1. From a separate system, use your favorite browser and enter the address: http://hostname.dr.avaya.com where hostname is the name of the machine.
2. Use the craft login (or sa if you are the system administrator) with the default password.
3. The first time you log in at the console, the system displays a Netscape license agreement. Click Accept to continue.
4. If you do not see the Avaya login page that asks for Login and Password, then make sure you have properly typed in the machine name.

As soon as you log in, the system displays the Administration Main Menu in your browser.

Check the Voice System Status

The voice system automatically starts, but make sure that it is running. You can view the System Status, which includes information on the state of the voice system. To view System Status:

1. From the web-based Administration Main Menu, select:

   System Configuration and Status
       System Status

   After a short wait, the system displays the System Status page.

2. Scroll down the System Staus page to verify that the voice system (Messaging Software) is running. Look for the entry "Voice System is Up." If the voice system is not up, Start the Messaging Software by selecting Utilities from the Main Menu.
3. Click Return to Main Menu.

Activate the Modem

1. Log in to the system with the craft login and password.
2. From the web-based Administration Main Menu, select:

   Basic System Administration
       Modem and Terminal Administration
            Install Modem/Terminal Software

The Install Modem/Terminal Software page displays.




 

3. Complete the fields for the modem you are installing. See the online Help for additional information about each field.
4. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

Establishing System LAN Settings

1. Log in to the system as craft or sa.
2. Click Accept to accept the Netscape license agreement.
3. From the web-based Administration Main Menu, select:
   

   Basic System Administration
       TCP/IP Administration
            Network Addressing

4. Complete the Network Addressing page using information from the configuration notes or the system administrator. See the online help for additional information about each field.
5. Click Save at the bottom of the Network Addressing page.
   
   Note that the format of the Network Addressing page is slightly different on the console interface. For example, instead of a radio button with a dot to indicate DNS, the field is a color-shaded diamond.

The installation is complete. Continue with Add Switch Integration Software and Language Packages.
