Providing Telecommunications Security
Telecommunications security (of voice, data, and/or video communications) is the prevention of any type of intrusion to (that is, either unauthorized or m al ic io us access to or use of) your company's telecommunications equipment by some party.
Your company's “t elecommunicatio n s equipment” includes both this Avaya product and any other voice/data/video equipment that could be accessed via this Avaya product (that is, “networked equipment”).
An “outside party” is an yone who is not a corporate employee, agent, subcontractor, or is not working on your company's behalf. Whereas, a “malicious party” is anyone (in cl udi ng someone who may be otherwise authorized) who accesses your telecommunications equipment with eit her malicious or mischievous i n te nt .
Such intrusions may be either to/throu gh sync hronous (time­multiplexed and/or circ uit -ba sed) or asynchronous (character-, message-, or packet-based) equi pm ent or interfaces for reasons of:
• Utilization (of capabilities special to the accessed equipment)
• Theft (such as, of intellectual property, financial assets, or toll facility acces s )
• Eavesdropping (privacy invasions to humans)
• Mischief (troubling, but a ppa re ntl y in noc uous, tampering)
• Harm (such as harmful tampering, data loss or alteration, regardless of motive or intent)
. If you are:
.
Be aware that there may be a ri sk of unauthorized intrusions associated with your syste m a nd/ or it s net w orked equipment. Also realize tha t, if such an intru s ion should occ u r, it could result in a variety of losses to your company (including but not limit ed to, human/data privacy, intellectual property, material assets, financial resources, labor costs, and/or legal costs).

High level overview of installation process

High level overview of installation process
The installation process is completed in what may be considered 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:
Installing the media server complex (media servers and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs)).
Installing Release 2.0 of Avaya Communication Manager.
Configuring the Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA).
Configuring the media server.
Customizing the media server (Avaya Communication Manager translations).
Installing the media gateways.
Cabling the media gateways.
Connecting the media gateways to the media server complex.
Connecting to the customer’s network (media servers, C-LAN, VAL, and so forth).
Installing and wiring telephones and trunks.
Completing the installation administration (clear alarms, enable alarm reporting, backup
translation, and so forth).
Testing the complete installation.
The high level stages, as presented above, represent the order they are presented here. The order can be changed to accommodate local practice or requirements.

Installing the media server complex

You can complete this stage in parallel with the installation of the media gateways. However, we recommend that you complete this step first as it is prerequisite to many of the other stages.

Installing Release 2.0 of Avaya Communication Manager

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

Configuring the Remote Supervisor Adapter

The Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) monitors various components and environmentals on the media server. The RSA comes installed from the factory with Avaya defaults but must be configured to fit your specific installation. You administer the RSA through its own Web interface. You set the IP address for the RSA through the media server Maintenance Web Interface.
