Installing the Cisco EGW 2200 Software
This section describes the procedures for installing the Cisco EGW 2200 software. Your system can be either a Cisco EGW 2200 system delivered with factory preinstalled software you need to configure or a system delivered with software you need to install from a CD.
Factory preinstalled software—In most cases, the Cisco EGW 2200 is delivered with factory preinstalled software. When turning on your machine for the first time, you must enter basic network information (such as IP address, gateway address, and administrator ID and password). The procedure for entering this information is provided in the following section. Read " Before You Begin" and then go on to "Setting the Initial Configuration (Preinstalled Software)" Complete the Cisco EGW 2200 Installation Wizard.
Customer installed software—Use this procedure if you are installing from a CD, either to reinstall the software or if your machine did not come preloaded with software. Read " Before You Begin" and then go on to "Installing from a CD (Customer Installed Software)".
Before You Begin
•To ensure a smooth installation process, be sure to fill out the Installation Worksheet and have it available to you as you perform the installation. This worksheet lists site-specific and machine-specific information that you must obtain from your system administrator before starting the installation. It is available at:
http://www.cisco.com/iamegw/pdfs_and_docs/egwinstallationworksheet.doc
•You must have your Cisco EGW (MCS 78xx Series) hardware already installed. See the "Installing the Cisco EGW 2200 Hardware" section for the installation procedure.
Note Before installation, make sure you have planned for the following important configuration information:
•The Administrator ID and password that you enter during installation creates an account that is used for all subsequent logins to the Cisco EGW 2200, including browsing the Cisco EGW 2200 Administration or Cisco IPT Platform Administration applications from a web client.
Make sure to record this information—you will need it when administering the Cisco EGW 2200.
•Make sure you know if you are using DNS. You cannot change this selection after installation. To change the DNS settings you need to reinstall the Cisco EGW 2200.
•Make sure you set up your NTP (Network Time Protocol) settings correctly. We strongly recommend that you enable NTP to ensure that the system clock remains accurate. You cannot change this selection after installation. To change the NTP settings you need to reinstall the Cisco EGW 2200.
•For electronic notification to send you notification of software upgrade availability, make sure that you set up SMTP during initial system configuration.
•Fault-tolerant configurations: If you are deploying two Cisco EGW 2200 hosts as a fault-tolerant pair, enter the same installation information for both systems with the exception of the IP addresses.
Except in the case of a WAN clustering deployment, the peer Cisco EGW 2200 IP addresses must be on the same subnets as the local Cisco EGW 2200 IP addresses. The first Cisco EGW 2200 IP address and first peer IP address must be on the same subnet. The second Cisco EGW 2200 IP address and second peer IP address must also be on the same subnet.
•Defining the Virtual IP Address field enables use of one or two virtual IP addresses for your Unity SIP connection (one for each IP address configured on the Cisco EGW). This functionality cannot be enabled after installation (although you can change the virtual IP addresses if needed), so make sure you have determined if you will use virtual IP address(es) before you install the Cisco EGW 2200.
•A second IP address is optional but recommended for redundancy.
Setting the Initial Configuration (Preinstalled Software)
If you have a factory preinstalled system or after you have completed Installing from a CD (Customer Installed Software), use this procedure to configure your system. When this configuration is done, your system can be accessed from a browser.
For instructions on how to navigate within the installation wizard, see Table 1.

About SIP Fault Tolerance Options
This section describes your configuration options for SIP fault tolerance.
Note The following cases assume you have a fault-tolerant EGW pair.
•If you define two virtual IP addresses and the active EGW fails, or if both its IP interfaces fail, the virtual IP addresses move to the newly active EGW and the Cisco Unity connection continues transparently. This is the most reliable SIP interface and provides the fastest responses in case of recovery, thus improving post-dial delay after a failure. This is because SIP does not need to search for an active EGW IP interface.
•If you define two virtual IP addresses and only the first interface fails, the second virtual IP address is used for the SIP connection. This would also happen if first local IP interface failed—the second local IP address would be used.
•If you define only one virtual IP address but have two local IP addresses and the first physical interface fails on the active EGW, the EGW remains active and assigns the virtual IP address to its second interface.
•If you define one virtual IP address and have only one local IP address and the physical interface fails on the active EGW, the EGW fails over and the newly active EGW assumes the virtual IP address.
Note This is not supported if you are using clustering over a WAN.
