High level overview of installation process

The installation process is completed in what may be considered stages. Some stages can be completed in parallel while others will require that certain tasks are accomplished before they can be completed. The order that the particular stages are completed will depend on local practice and the personnel available. The high level stages are:

• Install and configure the S8700 Media Server complex (Servers, Ethernet switch(es), UPS).
• Customize the S8700 Media Server (Avaya MultiVantage Software translations).
• Install the media gateways (G600).
• Cable the media gateways.
• Connect the media gateway to the server complex.
• Connect to the customer's network (Servers, C-LAN, VAL, etc.)
• Install and wire telephones.
• Complete the installation (clear alarms, enable alarm reporting, backup translation, etc.)
• Test the complete installation.

The high level stages, as presented above, represent the order they are presented here. Obviously, the order could be changed to accommodate local practice or requirements.
