Overview of Mandatory Tasks for Installing the Cisco Unity Bridge

Use the following high-level task list to install the Cisco Unity Bridge correctly. The tasks reference detailed instructions in the Cisco Unity Bridge Installation Guide, and in other Cisco Unity Bridge documentation as noted. Follow the documentation for a successful installation.

Some of the tasks apply only to specific situations, and are noted as such. If a task does not apply to your situation, skip it.

1. Extend the Active Directory schema so that information about Bridge delivery locations can be stored in Active Directory. This task is necessary only if you did not already modify the Active Directory schema to support Bridge Networking during the Cisco Unity installation. Refer to the "Extending the Active Directory Schema" section in the "Bridge Networking" chapter of the Cisco Unity Bridge Networking Guide. The guide is available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_installation_and_configuration_guide_books_list.html.

2. Verify system requirements for the Bridge server. Refer to the Cisco Unity Bridge 2.1 System Requirements, and Supported Hardware and Software on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_pre_installation_guides_list.html.

3. If the Bridge server was not purchased from Cisco, or if the Bridge server was purchased from Cisco and you did not use the Platform Configuration discs (revision 11 or later) to install Windows 2000 Server: Go to http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/unity-40 (the Cisco Unity 4.0 Software Download page on the Cisco Software Center website), and download the file CiscoUnity4.0-ServicePacks-ENG-CD1.exe. You will use the file to install Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 in Task 6.

4. Install the voice-fax card(s), and set up the Bridge server. See the "Setting Up the Hardware" chapter.

5. Install Windows 2000 Server, and set up the logical drive, if applicable. See the "Installing the Operating System" chapter.

6. Configure the operating system, install required software components, and set up the Bridge server in the Windows networking environment. See the "Customizing the Cisco Unity Bridge Platform" chapter.

7. Install Bridge software. See the "Installing Cisco Unity Bridge Software" chapter.

8. Install any optional software. See the "Installing Optional Software" chapter.

9. Create an emergency repair disk. Refer to Windows 2000 Help.

10. If you are installing a new Cisco Unity system and a new Bridge simultaneously, return to the applicable task list in the "Mandatory Tasks for Installing Cisco Unity" chapter of the Cisco Unity Installation Guide to continue installing the Cisco Unity system and the Bridge correctly. The guide is available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_installation_guides_books_list.html.

If you are adding the Bridge to an existing Cisco Unity system, set up Cisco Unity and the Bridge for networking. Refer to the "Task List: Setting Up Cisco Unity and the Bridge for Networking" section in the "Bridge Networking" chapter of the Cisco Unity Bridge Networking Guide. The guide is available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_installation_and_configuration_guide_books_list.html.
