Avaya S8710 Manuel D’Utilisation

High level overview of installation process

The installation process is completed in stages. Some stages can be completed in parallel, and others 
require that certain tasks be accomplished before the stages can be completed. The order that the 
particular stages are completed depends on local practice and the personnel available. The high level 
stages are listed below.

You can complete this stage before, in parallel with, or after installing the media gateways. See the Quick 
Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server (555-245-703)

The media server is shipped with a blank hard drive. The operating system, directories, and files needed 
for the media server are installed from a bootable CD containing the operating system and Avaya 
Communication Manager. This stage is usually done immediately after installing the media server 
hardware.

Use the Avaya Installation Wizard to configure the media server. You must have the filled-out Electronic 
Preinstallation Worksheet (EPW) that provides the customer’s network information needed for 
configuring the network components. As part of the Wizard, you install the license and Avaya 
authentication files. This stage is done after installing the software.

This stage is done after the media servers are configured. Once the license file is installed (as part of the 
Avaya Installation Wizard), you have 30 minutes to complete this step before the license file looks for the 
reference IPSI.

You can do this stage before, in parallel with, or after installing and configuring the media server 
complex. The media gateways must be installed and powered up to effectively complete many of the 
other stages. The IPSI circuit packs can only be programmed in a powered up media gateway.
