Page 170 of 488 Installing and configuring the Signaling Server software

To perform a software installation or upgrade, reboot the Signaling Server with the Software CD-ROM in its drive. No floppy disk is required, since the Software CD-ROM is bootable.

The Install Tool installs all Signaling Server software, including the operating system, applications, and web files. The Install Tool also copies software files for the Voice Gateway Media Cards and IP Phones, which are used to upgrade these components. For a new installation, the Install Tool prompts for IP Telephony parameters to perform basic system configuration.

After installing the Signaling Server software and configuring basic information about the Signaling Server, the Signaling Server components can be configured using the web-based Element Manager interface. Refer to Element Manager: System Administration (553-3001-332).

Signaling Server Software CD-ROM

If you do not have the latest version of the CD-ROM:

•Order or download the CD-ROM image from the Nortel Electronic Software Download site. See Procedure 42 for instructions on downloading the image.

•Create the Install Tool CD-ROM from the image. See Procedure 43 on page 171.

A single “.iso” file is provided to create the Software CD-ROM. This file is a ready-to-burn ISO9660 CD image that creates a bootable CD that complies to the El Torito specification. You must use CD writer software that can create a CD from this image. As the CD image is preconfigured, your software automatically creates a bootable CS 1000 Release 4.5 CD-ROM. See your software help pages to create a CD from an ISO file. Also review the associated README file that is associated with the Nortel Signaling Server Software download.
