Optional Product Components

The following applications can be launched from the Cisco PTC Topology Manager, however, they are not installed as part of the Cisco PTC installation process. If you plan on Cisco PTC using or working with any of the following applications, you must ensure they are installed, configured, and operating properly; preferably prior to installing Cisco PTC:

•Cisco MGC Node Manager (CMNM), version 2.3.1(plus Patch 1 and 2)—the Element Management System (EMS) for managing signaling controllers.

•Voice Services Provisioning Tool (VSPT), versions 2.3—used to configure and provision the PGW2200

Installing Cisco PTC

This section describes how to install the Cisco PTC product software from the product CDROM.

Cisco PTC installation is a component based installation process. Each component is installed through the Cisco PTC installation process in either Standalone or Integrated mode.

Note The Cisco PTC and Cisco VRC applications are fully integrated and are able to simultaneously use some common servers and processes. As such, Cisco PTC is installed in Standalone mode when the

Cisco VRC application is not currently installed on the machine where Cisco PTC is being installed and allows you to install all of the Cisco PTC subcomponents.

Cisco PTC is installed in Integrated mode when the Cisco PTC installation process detects that the Cisco VRC application is already installed on the machine. As such, the Cisco PTC subcomponents are not reinstalled. Instead, Cisco PTC is configured to use the common subcomponents that were installed with the Cisco VRC application.

This chapter installs Cisco PTC in Standalone mode, integrated with Cisco VRC, because it is a new install and Cisco VRC has not been installed previously.
