This guide is written for installers who perform applicable hardware and software installations prior to configuration at the customer site. It assumes familiarity with general hardware and software installation procedures. This guide is also intended for Microsoft® Professionals and NetVanta trained professionals to install and configure the NetVanta Unified Communications Server.

Installing NetVanta Unified Communications Server on a Windows operating system allows you to manage the business communications system within a Microsoft IT environment. Integration with Active Directory allows IT administrators to manage the communications system using the same user accounts and security policies that are used in the Windows-based environment. The automatic integration requires no extra programming or special integration.

Unpacking the Software

The contents of the box depend on where the UC server is being configured. When you unpack the UC server, make sure that all the UC server and software components are included in the box. The box must include at least the following:

One NetVanta product CD

Product key (on a 3-inch x 5-inch card)

Once the server is unpacked, verify its physical condition by making sure that all the cards are seated firmly, and confirm that all internal component connections are tight.
