Chapter 5: Installing the Windows Server

Use the Windows installer application to install the IP Telephone File Server Application on Windows NT/2000 or XP servers. Unlike the Linux version, the Windows version of the application includes an SNMP query agent used for secure FTP.

The IP Telephone File Server Application software is supplied as an installation executable with the name MV_IPTel_setup.exe.

To install the application:

1. Log in as the administrative user on the server.
2. Copy the MV_IPTel_setup.exe file to a convenient installation directory such as c:\temp.
3. To install the software, double-click MV_IPTel_setup.exe file within the File Explorer.

All the binaries and necessary files are installed including adding the service to the startup service list. During the installation, you are prompted to accept the license terms and choose which type of installation you want to use:

• Minimal – only installs the File Server application server and a simple GUI manager.
• Typical – adds the Web administration.
• Custom – adds the WatchDog.

The GUI manager (MV_Mgr.exe) allows access to the Windows service controls and to check the status of or modify server options. The defaults allow the server to be automatically enabled.

NOTE: The Windows services run with administrator privileges. However, the data in the subdirectories defined in Table 2 are the only files accessible to IP telephones after SNMP challenge verification. Should the user require full access to these data sub-directories, set the Super User flag to 1 in the FTP section of the MV_IPTel.ini file and restart the MV_IPTel server service.

NOTE: The installation program allows the default location (c:\Program Files\Avaya\MV_IPTel) to be changed. Avaya does not recommend changing the default location.
