Restrictions and limitations

The 2-server V100 Solaris system is non-redundant. Since redundancy is not built into the system, a server failure will result in the loss of services. The 2-server V100 Solaris system has a mirrored disk. In the event of a disk failure, the failed disk should be replaced as soon as possible. The 2-server V100 Solaris system has the following limitations:
The system supports a maximum of 250 subscribers.
Supported conference ports consist of 30 G.711 or 10 G.729.
The system does not support live upgrades.
System maintenance, starting, or stopping of components is not supported while the system is live. Doing any maintenance while the system is live may have adverse effects on call processing.
Two-server-to-four-server migration is not supported.

Before you start the installation

ATTENTION
Make sure you install the latest software loads. Check with your support team for the correct latest load.

Prerequisites

Have available your completed Customer-Specific Information (CSI) datasheet. Refer to the MCS 5100 Network Deployment and Engineering Guide, NN10313-191, that accompanies the MCS product for CSI and system requirements. Make a copy of the CSI datasheet from Appendix E of the MCS 5100 Network Deployment and Engineering Guide (NN10313-191). Fill out the datasheet with relevant information from your system administrator.
You must have read and understood all the Release Notes before the installation begins.
Nortel Networks strongly recommends the use of high-speed data network connectivity for optimum remote service capability. Without broadband connectivity, remote service options are limited. Nortel Networks recommends the Contivity Remote Access Solutions for this function.
Nortel Networks also recommends following standard data center conventions for having a Universal Power Supply (UPS) as the power backup for the servers. For more information, refer to the MCS 5100 Network Deployment and Engineering Guide, NN10313-191, which shows how to connect servers to two different UPS systems for maximum uptime.
For power over Ethernet in the closet switches, Nortel Networks recommends use of the Ethernet Switch 460 Power Over LAN layer 2 Ethernet switches.

MRV Communications recommends that you change the default password for the user’s MRV LX terminal server before you put the unit on a network. For more information, refer to Changing the
password defaults on page 40.
Use the following procedure to access the command line interface port from a dumb terminal attached to an LX Series serial port, which is set for access local or dynamic:
a Hit the return key several times to autobaud (if autobaud is
enabled) the port and get the login prompt.
b Enter your login name. The default is InReach.
40
ATTENTION
c Enter your password. The default is access.
Procedure 7 Changing the password defaults
At the management pc,
1 The default password for the MRV LX terminal server user is
access. If an unauthorized user knew this username/password combination, that user could log on to your unit. For this reason, you should change the user’s password to something other than access.
The default Superuser password is system. To reduce the risk of an unauthorized user gaining access to the Superuser Command Mode, MRV recommends that you change this password to something other than system.
To change the user-level password, access the Configuration Command Mode.
2 Access the Subscriber Command Mode for the subscriber by
entering the subscriber command with InReach as the command argument; for example: Config:0 >>subscriber
InReach

Procedure 9 Connecting a server to the MRV LX terminal server
ATTENTION
The procedures in this document assume that you are using PuTTY. It is suggested that you download from the web, PuTTY VT 100 Emulator, a freeware configurator tool to set up sessions.
Download PuTTY from
www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
At the management pc,
1 Connect a cat-5 Ethernet cable from the management PC to the
layer-2 switch.
2 Launch PuTTY.
Note: Refer to the customer-specific information datasheet to enter the MRV LX terminal server IP address and the port number.
3 In the hostname field, enter <IP address of the MRV LX
terminal server>
NN10364-301 MCS 5100 3.5 Standard 6.0 December 2006
Page 43
4 For port, enter <the port number which corresponds to A/LOM
(Serial A) on the V100 and the MRV LX terminal server>.
Note 1: For LOM ports, use terminal server ports 2100-2400 (physical ports 1-4). For Serial ports, use terminal server ports 3100-3400 (physical ports 11-14).
The port number identifies the location of the target host. This value is based on the following formula: 2000 + (Port number physically connected on the MRV LX terminal server x 100). For example, if the target host is connected to port 9 of the MRV LX terminal server, then the port number would be 2900.
Port 12 is the port on the back of the MRV LX terminal server that translates to 3200.
Note 2: Once the connection is established to the target host, the communication between the user and the component is treated exactly like a console connection.

Launching the System Management Console

Make sure that the System Management Console application has been successfully installed on the PC.
Procedure 26 Launching the System Management Console
At the management pc,
1 Click Start ->Programs ->MCP->System Management
Console.
2 Enter the user name and password in the fields provided (case
sensitive). Contact support to obtain this information.
IP addresses and port numbers will default to the machine logical IP address for the MgmtSvr and the MgmtSvr default port 11111 that you entered the procedure, Installing the System
Management Console on page 95.
3 Click OK to log in.
The system manager will initialize the whole network view; it will take up to a minute for the system manager screen to appear.
The default base directory where the System Management Console is installed on the management pc is
C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\MCP System Management Console
4 You should have received and stored a license key that you can
navigate to. You can save the license key in the file:
C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\MCP System Management Console\<file name>
5 Install the license key.
In MCP 3.0, the initial License Key for Core Applications resides on the MgmtSvr local disk. The initial License Key allows the System Manager to start so that a registered License Key can be installed at the window. The System Manager only permits deployment of software components after you have entered a registered License Key into the system. Once the License Key has been registered in the system, that Key restricts the deployment of software components.
To update the License Key from the System Management Console, go to the Administration button and select Update from

the License Key->Update dropdown menu (You can also select the System=>License Key=>Update menu option from the System tree.) as shown in Figure 32, Management Console
Update License Key. The System item on the file tree must be
highlighted.
Figure 32 Management Console Update License Key

License key/Select License key File dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 33, Select License key File Window

7 Once you have entered the new License Key, you will see a
dialog box notifying you whether the update is successful or fails. If the system does not find a license key in the database or on the Managements server local disk, a dialog box (Figure 33) will appear, prompting for a license key file.
If you do not immediately see your license key, locate it by browsing the file system.
8 Select the license key file by highlighting the file and pressing
Apply.
Once the file is selected, the license key appears in the text area. If a wrong file is selected, the Open File button can be used to select a different file.
Once you have selected the Apply button, a request is sent to the System Manager and the license key is saved into the database. Upon successful entry into the database, the Sysmgr sends back an appropriate response to the System Management Console and you will be notified that the license key has been saved.
9 By default, the only components available at this point are the
Sysmgr; that is, the Mgmtsvr, and a database instance. Expand each element in the tree to verify that the MgmtSvr component is loaded and running.

The console screen has the basic look and feel of a Windows Explorer window with a tree structure on the left, and a general information area on the right. Each folder on the management console tree is represented as a Network Element and each has a different functionality.
