Chapter 7: HMS 400 software installation
About this task
This chapter describes how to install Avaya Hospitality Messaging Server 400 (HMS 400) software. For
new HMS 400 servers, a trained technician must install the HMS 400 system image from the system image
DVD.
For information about installing service updates, see
Avaya Hospitality Messaging Server 400
Maintenance, NN42350-101
.
Important:
Do not use DHCP.
• Obtain a static IP address from the administrator for the HMS 400 server.
• Ensure that the HMS 400 server has access to the CS 1000 TLAN (Node IP) or Communication
Manager IP and to the customer LAN (for Web configuration). To connect an HMS 400 server to the
network, the hotel administrator must determine how to configure the network based on the security
or IP policies deemed appropriate, as long as the HMS 400 server has access to the CS 1000 TLAN
(Node IP) or Communication Manager IP and customer LAN (for Web Configuration).
• If the hotel administrator plans to run PMSI over IP, then the administrator can run PMSI over IP to
the hotel PMS only or to the hotel PMS and to the CS 1000. If the administrator plans to run PMSI
over IP to both the hotel PMS and to the CS 1000, the server needs to access the CS 1000 ELAN.
The number of NIC ports used depends on these factors. These factors also determine what IP
address to configure for each NIC.
• If the hotel administrator plans to run PMSI over IP to both the hotel PMS and to the CS 1000, two
NICs are required. Assign the first NIC to connect to the CS 1000 node IP (TLAN) and assign the
second NIC to connect to the ELAN.
