Installing
ADAP
|
This topic tells you how to install ADAP software
on your PC. This consists of the following three tasks, described in
detail later in this topic:
- Determine that required hardware is in place
and configured properly.
- Understand how the ADAP directories are organized
on your PC.
- Perform the installation. Installation procedures
are the same whether you install ADAP for the first time or upgrade
from an earlier version of ADAP.
Installation Requirements
Before you install the ADAP software, check that
your PC system consists of the following:
- An IBM-compatible PC with:
- A minimum of 640 KB of RAM
- A 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy disk drive
- One fixed disk (hard drive) with a minimum of
40 MB of storage
- MS-DOS
Note: If you have AUDIX Call Detail Recording
(CDR), see the AUDIX Call Detail Recording Package, 585-305-506, for
the CDR hardware requirements
- A PC–compatible, parallel port printer
for printing text files.
Recommended Hardware Configurations
Your PC must be connected to the voice mail system
through one of the following configurations:
- Directly, with a Group 311 RS-232 cable connected
from your PC to a Group 350 null modem cable, which in turn is connected
to:
- Either Port A on the INTUITY AUDIX system
or
- The local administration terminal (LAT) connector
on the back of the AUDIX system
- An RS-232 cable that cannot not exceed
50 feet
- Through a switch that uses a Hayes-compatible
modem
- Through a switch that uses Modular Processor
Data Module (MPDM)
ADAP Directory Structure
When you install the ADAP software for INTUITY
AUDIX, the default directory used by the ADAP setup software is INT_ADAP,
unless the ADAPROOT environment variable is set otherwise. After
installation is complete, these directories contain the appropriate
ADAP software. Since both directories contain programs with the same
names, the PATH environment variable indicates which of the
two directories is to be used when you execute the ADAP software.
You must create the machine directories (<machine1>,
<machine2>, etc.) they will contain the data that you retrieve
from each voice mail machine using ADAP. If you are working with more
than one voice mail machine, you need to create a directory corresponding
to each machine.
ADAP Diskette Contents
Each diskette contains a readme file that
lists the ADAP files and directories contained on that diskette. To
display the contents of the readme file, insert the diskette
in drive A and enter type a:readme at the DOS prompt. (If you use a
drive other than A, enter it instead.)
The ADAP software is contained on the 3-1/2-inch
diskettes.
Installation Procedures
Installation procedures are the same whether you
are installing ADAP for the first time or upgrading from an earlier
version of the ADAP software.
To install ADAP, you need to do the following
procedures:
- Install the ADAP software.
- Verify that the config.sys and autoexec.bat
files are set up properly for ADAP.
Install ADAP Software
Complete the following steps to install the ADAP
software. Installation automatically builds the required subdirectories
if they do not exist already.
- ADAP software is installed by default to C:\PCIFCE
or C:\INT_ADAP. If you want to install to a different subdirectory
or drive, insert the following environment variable definition in
your autoexec.bat file, and reboot your PC:
SET ADAPROOT=<drive>:\<directory>
(where <drive> is the drive letter and <directory>
is the directory path name)
- Insert AUDIX Administration and Data Acquisition
Software, Disk 1 into your floppy disk drive.
- At the DOS prompt, enter a: RETURN to
change to drive A. (If you use a diskette drive other than drive A,
enter that drive letter instead.)
- Enter setup.
You are prompted for your floppy disk drive.
- Enter your floppy disk drive letter name, or
press Enter to default to drive a:.
The Setup For AUDIX PC Software menu appears.
- Press a to select Install ADAP Command
Line Software.
The Install ADAP Command Line Software screen
appears.
- Press i to select Install.
Messages describing installation progress appear.
When installation of the disk is finished, if there are more disks
to install you are prompted to insert the next disk. Each disk takes
about a minute to install.
- Insert the next disk and press any key to continue.
- Repeat Step 8 for each diskette requested by
the Setup program.
When installation is finished, an Installation
Complete message appears.
- Press any key to continue.
Check config.sys and autoexec.bat
Files
The installation automatically modifies data in
the config.sys and autoexec.bat files. Complete the following steps
to ensure that these changes were made:
- At the DOS prompt, type config.sys to
display the contents of the config.sys file.
- Check for the rs232 device line:
device=c:\pcifce\ex_rs232.bin
This line identifies the device driver for
communicating with the voice mail system. If it is not present,
use your text editor to add it to the file. (If you changed the
ADAP software subdirectory to a name other than PCIFCE or INT_ADAP,
the name you changed it to appears in the file.)
- Check for the following device line, which tells
ADAP how to write things to the screen:
device=c:\dos\ansi.sys
- At the DOS prompt, type autoexec.bat
to display the contents of the autoexec.bat file.
- Check for the line that begins with PATH=
and validate the following:
c:\pcifce or c:\int_adap
- If the above entries are not included in your
autoexec.bat file, use your text editor to add them to the file.
- If you made any changes in the previous steps,
reboot your system.
