21 Software Installation and Basic
Configuration
This section describes how to install, configure and start up the Mediant 8000
software. To do this, complete the following tasks:

Install the Mediant 8000 software (this step is typically omitted, because the
Mediant 8000 comes with a pre-installed software).

Perform the basic configuration of the software (the basic configuration is a
minimal configuration required for the software to start).

Start the Mediant 8000 software.

Configure connectivity with the EMS server.

Complete configuration of the Mediant 8000 (this additional configuration is
typically performed via the EMS and is eventually completed when all Mediant
8000 components, including the Media Gateway boards, are in service).
21.1 Installing the Mediant 8000 Software
The Mediant 8000 software is installed on the SC boards located in Slots 1 and 2. The
SC boards are responsible for managing all the Mediant 8000 components – including
the Media Gateway and the Ethernet Switch boards – and distributing the proper
software and configuration files to them.
The Mediant 8000 is typically supplied with the proper software pre-installed on it.
Therefore most customers only need to perform the basic configuration of the Mediant
8000 software and do not need to install it. Nevertheless, sometimes the software
version pre-installed on the Mediant 8000 does not match the version required by the
customer. In this case, the proper version of the Mediant 8000 software should be
installed as described in this chapter.
 To verify the current Mediant 8000 software version installed on the SC
board:
1. Connect to the SC board’s CLI interface. For more information, see Section 'The
Command Line Interface (CLI)' on page 107.
2. Login as a regular CLI user (e.g. acladmin) and provide the corresponding
password. For more information, see Section 'Logging into the Command Line
Interface' on page 115.
3. At the prompt, type version and press Enter.

4. Repeat the above procedure on both SC boards. If the software version on both
SC boards is correct, proceed to the next chapter 'Peforming Basic Configuration
of the Mediant 8000 Software' on page 146. Otherwise, install the proper Mediant
8000 software versions as described in this chapter.
