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 Firefox 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 Firefox browser with the Messaging Administration main menu.
   
   If you have logged in as sroot, 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. Click OK when the following popups appear: Website certified by Unknown Authority, Securtiy Error: Domain Name mismatch, and Security Warning: you have requested an encrypted page.
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 Messaging Menu in the left frame of your browser and Messagaing Adiminstration in the main frame.

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 Messaging Administration main menu, select:

   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 Messaging Menu.

Activate the Modem

1. Log in to the system with the craft login and password.
2. From the Messaging Administration main menu, select:

   Modem/Terminal Configuration

3. Complete the fields for the modem you are administering. 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. From the web-based Messaging Administration main menu, select:
   

   TCP/IP Network Confiuration

3. 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.
4. Click Save at the bottom of the Network Addressing page.

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