Verify initial switch and LAN administration

This topic describes the switch and LAN administration that must be done before you arrive on site.

Initial switch administration

Note: Switch administration is required for Message Networking systems supporting analog.

Before you begin the installation, the switch at the customer site must be administered to support the following situations:

  • You must be able to test each channel connected to the Message Networking system before assigning the channels to Message Networking or another application. During this testing, you must be able to call each channel individually using the ChanTran option.
  • You must be able to test the Message Networking system with two test subscribers.
  • To use analog ports, a hunt group must be assigned with a number of stations, in the right order, equal to the number of analog ports that you require for Message Networking. The pilot number of the hunt group must be DID and must be restricted.

Before you arrive on site, all of the initial switch administration must be complete unless otherwise specified by contract. Verify that this initial switch administration is complete before you begin work on the Message Networking system.

Initial LAN administration

Determine if you need to notify the LAN administrator to arrange for administration of the LAN for the system. Some LANs may be administered prior to your arrival on site. Other LANs require that the administration for a new machine be done at the time of installation because an open connection may cause the LAN to fail.

Note: Avaya is not responsible for the installation, administration, or test of communications between customer PCs and the LAN.
