Avaya 1.3 Gather the Necessary Information, Determine the Requirements of Your Configuration

Planning Your Installation

Gather the Necessary Information

The TCP/IP addressing information that is administered during DLG administration is particularly relevant to installing the Telephony Services software (see Task 2: DLG Administration on page 47). Make sure you have the following addressing information before you start the Avaya Computer Telephony server software installation procedure.

●The IP address of the DLG. The default is 192.168.25.10, but it is highly likely that this has been changed to conform to your network addressing requirements.

●The IP address that the DLG administrator assigned to the Avaya Computer Telephony server. The default is 192.168.25.20. Again, it is highly likely that this IP address has been changed to conform to your network addressing requirements. This IP address refers to the Network Interface Card, on the Avaya Computer Telephony Server, that communicates with the DLG. It is not the IP address of the NIC, on the Avaya Computer Telephony server, that communicates with clients.

●The host name or IP address that was assigned to the Avaya Computer Telephony server.

Determine the Requirements of Your Configuration

Determining the requirements of your configuration involves identifying the Avaya Computer Telephony software components you are going to implement. Basically this comes down to one question: “does this configuration support both the Tserver (Telephony Services Server) and the CVLAN (CallVisor PC Local Area Network) applications?" See Chapter 5: Using CVLAN for information about CVLAN.

Determine the Type of Installation -- Initial Installation or Upgrade

If you are upgrading an earlier release of Avaya Computer Telephony, see Guidelines for Upgrading Avaya Computer Telephony on page 64.

Make Sure Your Platform Can Support Avaya Computer Telephony

See Table 3-1: Server Hardware on page 62 and Table 3-2: Server Software on page 63 to make sure that you have the appropriate hardware and software.
