Chapter 2 Installing and Upgrading Personal Assistant

Installing Personal Assistant Software

Step 7 Do the following substeps on the Cisco Personal Assistant Components window:

a.Choose the Personal Assistant components to install:

Cisco Personal Assistant Server—Manages the interaction between the user and

Cisco Personal Assistant, processes call routing and dial rules, and manages the overall configuration of the Cisco Personal Assistant system.

Cisco Personal Assistant Speech Recognition Server—Processes speech commands.

Cisco Personal Assistant Web Administration—Is used to administer and access Personal Assistant by using a web browser.

During installation, the selected components install on the same system. If you want to install components on different systems, choose only those components you want installed together at this time. You must perform subsequent installations to install the remaining components on different systems.

b.To install Personal Assistant on an Windows 2000 Domain, select Use a Domain Account and enter the following:

Account—Domain administrator account.

Password—Password for the domain administrator account.

Domain—Domain in which you are installing Cisco Personal Assistant.

If you are installing multiple Personal Assistant servers, you must install them in the same Windows 2000 domain.

If you chose to install only the Personal Assistant Speech Recognition Server, skip to Step 12. Otherwise, continue with Step 8.

Step 8 Click Next. The Cisco Personal Assistant Locales window opens.

Step 9 Check the check boxes for the desired locales.

Step 10 Click Next. The Cisco CallManager Database Location window opens.

Step 11 On the Cisco CallManager Database Location window, enter the settings from the Cisco CallManager publisher:

Host name—The DNS name or IP address of the Cisco CallManager publisher.

Windows 2000 username and password—The settings on the server that is the Cisco CallManager publisher.

SQL Server username and password—The SQL server used by Cisco CallManager publisher. Enter the information only if you are installing Personal Assistant version 1.4(2) or earlier. Note that for Personal Assistant version 1.4(3) or later, the installation program does not display the SQL Server username and password fields.

These settings must match those on the Cisco CallManager publisher server. For example, if you do not have a password set for Windows 2000 on that system, do not enter it here. However, a user name is required.

Note You must specify the same Cisco CallManager publisher for all of the Personal Assistant and speech-recognition servers in the same Personal Assistant cluster.

You must be able to access the Cisco CallManager system from the computer on which you are installing Personal Assistant. When you click Next, the installer verifies connectivity to the Cisco CallManager system. If it cannot reach Cisco CallManager, it generates an error and the installation will not continue.
