7 IP Service Activator Post-installation Tasks

This chapter describes the post-installation tasks for Oracle Communications IP Service Activator.

IP Service Activator Post-installation Tasks

There are a number of tasks to do after IP Service Activator is installed, but before you create domains, and discover and manage your network devices.

These tasks include:

  • running the Configuration GUI to configure various system parameters

  • starting the system

  • configuring Super User accounts

  • checking router configurations

  • loading configuration policies

  • importing and linking controller scripts

  • setting up logging

  • enabling Layer 2 Martini support on the Cisco IOS cartridge if you intend to configure Layer 2 Martini VPNs

    Note:

    The next tasks you should perform are described in the topic about additional setup tasks after startup in IP Service Activator System Administrator's Guide. These tasks are required in order to be able to use IP Service Activator.

    Tasks include changing the default user group, and default super user when you first log in. After the default user is changed, all users must enter a name and password each time they start the IP Service Activator client. This is described in the topic about changing the default user in IP Service Activator System Administrator's Guide.

Online Help Requirements

The compiled online Help files included with the IP Service Activator client require Internet Explorer version 8 or 9.

Install one of these versions of Internet Explorer on each of your Windows client hosts.

In addition, the online Help requires the use of certain ActiveX controls, which are set up as part of the installation process. The Help file does not run correctly if the ActiveX controls are deleted or disabled.

Configuring Web Services

If you want to use the optional web services component with IP Service Activator, see the chapter about web services in IP Service Activator API Developer's Guide.
