1.1 Major Installation Steps
Following are the major installation steps:
1. Before installing the HMP Software, make sure that the system meets the hardware and
software “System Requirements” as described the HMP Software Release Guide.
2. To install the software, you must have local administrative privileges. Contact your network
administrator to set up administrative privileges as required.
3. Uninstall any existing Intel
®
Dialogic
®
system release.
4. Obtain an HMP Software license. You can do this before or after you install the HMP
Software. A verification license supplied with the software will allow you to run the
verification demo to confirm that you have installed the HMP Software properly. However, its
features are limited and you may want to obtain another license. Refer to Section 1.2, “HMP
Licenses”, on page 7 for more information. Complete information and procedures for
obtaining and working with licenses is provided in the Intel NetStructure Host Media
Processing Release 1.5 for Linux Administration Guide.
5. Install the HMP Release 1.5 software. Refer to Section 2.3, “Installing the HMP Software”, on
page 10.
6. Activate an HMP Software license. This is considered a configuration activity and can be done
immediately after installing the software or later if you manually run
config.sh. Refer to
Section 2.4, “Configuring the System (Activating a License)”, on page 11.
7. Start the HMP services. If necessary, use the
dlstart script found in /usr/dialogic/bin.
Note: The system does not need to be rebooted after installing and configuring the software.
However, you must log out and log back in so the environment changes take effect.
8. Optionally run the verification demo to verify proper installation of the HMP Software. Refer
to Section 2.5, “Running the Verification Demo”, on page 15.
1.2 HMP Licenses
Before you use the HMP Software, you must obtain a license file containing HMP license data. An
HMP license is a file containing authorizations for a combination of call control and media
processing channels. You can obtain a license file either before or after you install the HMP
Software, but you need to obtain a license file before you can proceed with using the HMP
Software.
