# AIN set-up (guide)

This guide will help you set up an AIN. Before you start, you should first plan and design the AIN with the help of the Mitel CPQ project manager.

## Putting the Master into operation

The Master must always be put into operation as the first system so that the satellites can then log on to it. To do so proceed as follows:

1. Connect the communication server to the IP network and start it.

2. With System Search find the communication server on the IP network "Finding the communication server on the IP network" and configure the IP addresses. Then click Configure....

   The WebAdmin login window opens.

3. Log on, navigate to the AIN view then change the communication server back to AIN master.

4. Activate the AIN licence and enter the new licence number.

   The Master is now in operation and ready to receive satellite registrations.

## Putting the satellites into operation

First configure the Master's IP address in the satellite:

1. Integrate the future satellite into the IP network following Steps 1 and 2 in the previous section.

2. Log on via WebAdmin then navigate to the AIN view.

3. Select Operating mode = AIN satellite then under Master IP address enter the master IP address.

4. Make the modifications and restart the system.

Then integrate the satellite into the AIN:

1. Log on via WebAdmin to Master then navigate to Cards and modules view.

   The satellite is now visible as another node with its expansion cards and modules.

2. Confirm the new satellite by clicking in the line with the satellite mainboard on the Confirm new satellite button.

   The satellite is now working.

## Excluding a satellite

Proceed as follows to exclude from AIN operation any satellite that has already been set up:

Note:

When a satellite is deleted the entire data configured in the Master in connection with this node is lost. Therefore, first make a backup copy of the master configuration data.

1. Log on via WebAdmin to the satellite then navigate to the AIN view.

2. Change the operating mode from AIN satellite to Individual system.

3. Restart the communication server.

   The communication server starts as a single system and is no longer connected to the Master.

Now delete the satellite in the master configuration:

1. Log on via WebAdmin to Master then navigate to Cards and modules view.

2. Delete the removed satellite by clicking in the line with the satellite mainboard on the Delete button.

   The satellite and all the related configuration data are deleted from the master configuration.
