You can complete this stage in parallel with the install of the media gateways. However, we recommend that, you complete this step first as it is prerequisite to many of the other stages.
This stage depends on the install and configure S8700 Media Server complex stage. It could be put off until later in the installation process. However, verifying success for some stages (connect to the customers network, install phones, connect the media gateway to server) requires that Avaya MultiVantage Software be translated and operational.
You can do this stage in parallel with installing and configuring the server complex. The media gateways must be installed and powered up to effectively complete many of the other stages.
This stage is the physical cabling of the media gateways to wall field and patch panels. This stage generally follows installing the media gateways and is a prerequisite to installing traditional telephones.
This stage connects the media gateways to the server complex via Ethernet cables. IP Server Interface (IPSI) circuit packs are programmed during this stage. This stage depends on the server complex being operational.
You can do this stage anytime, but to allow testing along the way it should come after the media gateways are cabled and connected to the media server complex.
This stage, in most cases, requires that the configuration be operational and responsive so you can test the phones as they are wired and placed. Of course, there may be variations. IP telephones that are connected to the customer's network could be placed well before completing the installation. When wiring is being installed for traditional telephones and consoles (analog and/or digital), make every effort to place the phones when they can be tested.
This stage is finishing up the installation. Clearing alarms, enabling alarm reporting, backing up the servers, hooking up the modems (if used) and registering the configuration. This stage will always come at the end of the actual installation.
This stage verifies the complete configuration operation and is always the last thing you do.
