•“Nonredundant and redundant server implementations” (page 23)
•“Software installation” (page 24)
Overview
After you complete the preinstallation tasks, you install the Nortel Mobile Communication Gateway 3100 (MCG 3100) software in a nonredundant or redundant server implementation. During the MCG 3100 software installation, a number of prompts appear. You can accept the default value, or enter a new value at each prompt.
Nonredundant and redundant server implementations
For a nonredundant server implementation, install the software on a standalone server. For a redundant server implementation, install the software on two servers.
ATTENTION
You must install the license file on each of the servers in a redundant implementation.
Nonredundant server option
A nonredundant (or standalone) server implementation does not provide redundancy and therefore provides no failover protection. If a server component fails or becomes inaccessible, the mobile clients are denied access until the server recovers.
Redundant server option
A redundant server implementation provides high availability. If an active server component fails or becomes inaccessible, the mobile clients can restart a communication session with the backup server.
