This document guides you, as a Cisco partner, through the initial installation of the full Smart Business Communications System.

The ease of use and the level of preconguration make this system easy to deploy, operate, and manage, while providing

expansion capabilities to support business growth. A typical installation involves some or all of the following activities:

Determining the dial plan settings for deployment: PBX or key operation mode.

•

Single-site PBX — PBX mode is set as the default. Most settings are precongured, and voice connectivity is

provided through the PSTN. A DSL or cable modem is used for Internet access.

•

Single-site key system — Key system square mode and some default settings need to be changed. Voice connectivity

is provided through the PSTN. A DSL or cable modem is used for Internet access.

•

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Trunk conguration—A service provider supplies connection to the phones.

Determining wireless network options.

•

All-in-one architecture — Single integrated access point (factory-installed access point option within the

Cisco Unied Communications 500 Series platform), provides Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2), and multiple

Service Set Identiers (SSIDs). This single integrated access point cannot be upgraded into a controller-based

architecture. For a broader coverage, two wireless express access points can be deployed in a standalone mode in

addition to the integrated access point.

•

Standalone architecture — Up to three wireless express access points can be deployed to offer extended coverage.

•

Controller-based architecture — Advanced wireless with up to 12 wireless express access points associated with

Wireless Express Mobility Controllers (up to 6 access points per controller). Provides advanced features such as Radio

Resource Management, secure wireless guest access, and optimized support for voice over Wi-Fi with roaming and

load balancing.

Determining remote monitoring options (Cisco Monitor Manager and Cisco Monitor Director).

• A 30-day evaluation version of Cisco Monitor Manager and Cisco Monitor Director can be

downloaded from Cisco.com

at http://www.cisco.com/go/sbnm. The evaluation version of Cisco Monitor Manager can monitor up to 5 network

devices, 5 access points, and 48 Cisco Unied IP Phones. The evaluation version of Cisco Monitor Director can collect

data from up to 5 customers.

Make sure that PC prerequisites are met.

•

Cisco Conguration Assistant — Installs on PC with Pentium III–based IBM PC or compatible, 512 MB of DRAM (1 GB

of DRAM is recommended); minimum screen resolution of 1024x768; either Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later, or

Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or later.

•

Cisco Monitor Manager — Installs on PC with 40 GB of available disk space, 1 GB of RAM, Intel Pentium IV (1.2 GHz or

greater) or compatible, and either Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 4 or Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2.

Perform an initial installation of the full Cisco Smart Business Communications System.

Note: We strongly recommend that you use the factory default settings for the initial installation, whenever possible.

After you verify that the initial installation is working properly, you can use the Cisco Conguration Assistant to easily

change the default settings. Use a Category 5 cable with RJ-45 connections to connect the devices in a Smart

Business Communications System unless specied otherwise.
