This file contains the following sections:

• Microsoft Windows installation

• UNIX installation

Microsoft Windows Installation

To copy the documentation library to your PC, do the following:

1. Insert the CD-ROM into your drive.
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. From Windows Explorer, browse to the CD-ROM drive.
4. Highlight the appropriate folder and select File > Copy.
5. Select the directory to which you want to copy the Help files and select File > Paste.
6. For easy access in the future, do one of the following:
   • View the menu page and create a bookmark in the browser.
   • Create a shortcut on the desktop to the autorun.exe file in the documentation library folder. Label the shortcut clearly for that product.

If you cannot copy the documentation library files or launch the documentation library from the CD-ROM, it is recommended that you attempt the installation on another PC, or view or download the documentation from www.avaya.com/support.

LAN Installation

You can install the documentation library on a LAN server if you want to centralize administration of Avaya documents or make them available to a group of users who needs this information.

Note: The Avaya documents should be installed on the one server, and the server and client PCs should be on the same subnet, for best performance.

1. Install the CD-ROM documentation on the server drive as described in the Microsoft Windows Installation.
2. Share the folder that contains the Avaya documentation library with read-only permission.
3. For easy access in the future, do one of the following:
   • View the menu page and create a bookmark in the browser.
   • On the client PC, create a shortcut on the desktop to the autorun.exe file in the documentation library folder. Label the shortcut clearly for that product.
4. You can install Avaya documents for additional products or releases into this same shared directory as needed.

UNIX Installation

Enter all commands at the UNIX command prompt.

Note: If command names or filenames in the instructions appear on your system in upper case, as with HP-UX, type those names in upper case.

1. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive.

   To open the CD-ROM drive, you may have to first unmount it and remove an already mounted CD. Enter the appropriate command for your platform:

   AIX & HP-UX: umount /cdrom
Solaris: eject cd
2. Log in as root.
   If prompted to run OpenWin, choose Yes.
3. Mount the CD-ROM file system by entering one of the following commands, or one that is appropriate for your system:

   AIX: mount -vcdrfs -r /dev/cd0 /cdrom
HP-UX: mount -F cdfs -r /dev/dsk//cdrom
Solaris: Solaris is auto-mounted.

4. Optional: You can access the documentation library files directly from the CD-ROM or from your system disk. To install the document files on your system disk, enter:

   cp -r /mm_r1

   or

   cp -r /mn_r1

   where is the directory on your system disk where you want to put the document files.

   Caution: if your system alters filenames when copying, some hypertext links may not work unless you restore the original filenames.

   The documents are in HTML which can be read using IE 4.01, Netscape 4.0, or newer versions of either browser. Additionally there are PDF (Portable Document Format), which can be read using Adobe� Acrobat� Reader 3 or greater software. If copied to your system, the documentation library files use about 201 MB of disk space.
