The network topology is a star or a double star when the Secondary Server is
present.
A single DVD distribution contains the software components for the whole solution,
this is used to load the software on all of the different servers (Primary, Secondary,
Expansion or separate one-x portal server). Avaya servers come with this software
pre-installed.
The IP Office for Linux servers (Primary, Secondary, Expansion and one-X Portal)
support a web based ignition process to personalize them for their intended use.
The Ignition process is a one-off web based wizard to set the server environment.
It consists of a number of screens for the End user license agreement, the server
type, the network settings, time and companding settings and Linux root password.
The Ignition process will run automatically the first time that you connect to Web
Control on a new server. This is only run once and cannot be re-run unless the
software is installed again.
Each device in the Server Edition network must run the Initial Configuration Utility or
ICU. The Initial Configuration Utility is contained within the 8.1 IP Office Manager
(both lite and full installations). It runs automatically when adding a device to the
Server Edition network but can also be run manually from Manager | File | Advanced
menu. It makes a number of behind the scenes configuration changes to the system
being added to the network to enable it to operate as a Server Edition device.
