Installation
This chapter contains the following topics:
• “Overview” (page 23)
• “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.
