Installation procedures

Staging

Staging services involve the process of gathering and inspecting all equipment components, then assembling, configuring, testing, and completing an inventory of individual equipment or systems. This service is performed at an Avaya staging facility prior to the delivery and installation of the equipment at the client's site. Customer equipment is tested prior to shipment in a simulated network environment, which helps to ensure a smooth and rapid installation. Software and features are loaded and tested, components labeled and packed for shipment. Staging services reduce the time required on site to install equipment and load configurations, and assure the client that all ordered components power up and interconnect properly in a controlled environment.

Onsite installation performed by Avaya or other authorized personnel follows this general procedure:

1. Verifying order and equipment
