4 Quick Start for Hardware Installation: G700 Media Gateway & S8300 Media Server

Chapter 1: Before You Go to the Installation Site

The following activities must be completed before going to an installation site.

Other documents

Obtain access to the following documentation:

● The G700/S8300 Installation guide: Installation and Upgrades for Avaya G700 Media

Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server, 555-234-100.

● The documentation library on CD, installed on your laptop, or accessible from the Avaya

Support web site: Documentation for Avaya Communication Manager, Media Gateways
and Servers, 03-300151.

License file, software, and firmware

The following tasks must be completed before you can install an Avaya S8300 Media Server
and Avaya G700 Media Gateway.

To do before you install the S8300 and G700

1. Meet with the customer to complete the Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet. The
Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet contains specific information about the customer’s
network configuration and telephony requirements. This information is required to use the
Avaya Installation Wizard to configure the Avaya IP solution.

Note:

Note: To use the Avaya Installation Wizard, Release 2.0 or later of Communication

Manager must be installed on the media server. If a pre-2.0 release of the
Communication Manager is installed on the media server, the software must be
upgraded before the Avaya Installation Wizard can be used.

Note:

Note: The current release of the Avaya Installation Wizard supports only an

English-language operating system.

2. If you are using the Avaya Installation Wizard to generate basic translations on an S8300
primary controller in a G700, get the customer’s Name and Number list file and the Custom
Templates. Copy these files to your laptop. The Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet
contains instructions for the Name/Number and Custom Templates files.

Issue 8 February 2007 5

Before You Go to the Installation Site

3. Retrieve the required license file from Remote Feature Activation (RFA).

Note:

Note: As of Communication Manager Release 3.1, the Avaya Installation Wizard no

longer requires the inclusion of the FEAT_DADMIN login permissions in the
license in order to generate basic translations. However, for Business Partners,
the license may still include the FEAT_DADMIN login permissions.

4. Obtain a password (authentication) file from Authentication File System (AFS).

5. Obtain the most recent versions of software and firmware on CD-ROM. Check for and
download the most recent versions of firmware from http://support.avaya.com
necessary, from the Download Center.

6. Determine if the customer purchased a USB CD-ROM drive as part of the order. If the order
does not include a USB CD-ROM drive, obtain a USB CD-ROM drive for temporary use at
the site.

7. The technician will be advised if ProVision will be used in addition to the Avaya Installation
Wizard. ProVision can be used to upload all of the Communication Manager translations.
Information on the Avaya Installation Wizard options for ProVision is in the Electronic
Preinstallation Worksheet.

or, if

Laptop requirements

The laptop PC that you use to access the S8300 and/or G700 and to launch the Avaya
Installation Wizard must meet the following requirements:

● A minimum display resolution of 800 by 600

● 10/100 ethernet card installed

● Windows 95 or later

● Internet Explorer 5.0 or later

● A serial communication interface

Once you have verified that all the above activities are completed, you can begin product
hardware installation following the instructions in this guide.
