Wizards for Installations and Upgrades
30 Installation and Upgrades for G700 and S8300
December 2003
The Avaya Installation Wizard (IW)
You can use the Avaya Installation Wizard (IW) as a tool to assist you in the installation and upgrade
processes for S8300, S8500, and S8700 Media Servers and G350 and G700 Media Gateways. The
Installation Wizard is designed to get you up and running in a basic installation as quickly as possible.
For customized installations, optional custom templates are also available.
The Avaya Installation Wizard ships with the media server software and is accessible on the home page
of the Integrated Management web interface. The most recent version of IW, as well as its
documentation, can be accessed online at http://support.avaya.com/avayaiw
.
NOTE:
To use the IW, Communication Manager Release 2.0 or later must be running on the
media server (S8300, S8500, or S8700). If the correct release of Communication Manager
has not been installed on the media server, you need to upgrade the software before you
begin using the IW.
What the IW Does and Does Not Do
The IW does not automate all tasks in an S8300 Media Server installation.
Of the tasks described in Chapter 3, Installing a New G700 with an S8300, the IW automates the
following:
• Transfer Files from a CD or Laptop on page 111 and its subtasks
• Install New Software on the S8300 on page 114 and its subtasks
• Configure the S8300 on page 123
• Configure the G700 Media Gateway on page 137 and its subtasks
• “Install Communication Manager Patch Files from Your Laptop, if Any”, which is a subtask of
Install New Software on the S8300
on page 114
• “Administer Network Regions” for an S8300 Media Server as primary controller, which is a
subtask of Administer Communication Manager
on page 151.
NOTE:
The IW administers the S8300 network region as the default, 1.
• Administer the Media Gateway on page 161
NOTE:
In addition, you can use the IW to upgrade media server software or gateway firmware on
a previously-installed system.
The IW automates similar tasks in Chapters 4–6.
You must perform the following tasks manually, even though you are using the IW:
• Install all hardware
• Tasks in Before Going to the Customer Site on page 104
• Set custom LSP transition points when the defaults are not adequate (see Set the LSP Transition
Points on page 84)
