MAS installation
This chapter explains MAS installation fundamentals. For step-by-step
information about how to install the MAS platform, see Nortel Media
Application Server 6.0 for AS 5300 Installation (NN44470-300).

Architecture and supported hardware and software
This section details the system architecture for MAS 6.0 for Application Server
(AS) 5300 release as well as the supported hardware and software for that
platform. For more information, refer to Media Application Server 6.0 for AS
5300 Planning and Engineering (NN44470-200).
System architecture
The MAS platform is a software-based, media processing server. Software on
the host server performs all media processing. The MAS architecture permits
scalability for all core functions of the platform, including signaling, application
execution, content management, and media processing.
Network architecture
The MAS platform can scale from a small, duplex server solution. The system
exploits a multiprocess, multithreaded architecture that is designed to take
advantage of multiple processor core and hardware platforms. The server
achieves scalability across multiple computers by replicating the entire
system.
Supported hardware and software
The MAS platform uses commercial operating systems and commercial
hardware platforms for all processing.

Supported hardware platform
You can install the MAS software on an IBM X3550. The X3550 has an Intel
XEON 5140 2.33 GHZ processor, 2 GB of RAM and a SCSI hard drive.
Supported operating system
You can install the MAS software on Windows 2003 operating system (OS). To
comply with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security
Technical Implementation Guideline (STIG) and GR-815 compliancy, you must
install additional OS hardening patches and security software must be installed
on the MAS before you install MAS platform or MAS application software.
MAS platform core components
The MAS platform software includes the following core components:
•Session controller (page 8)
•VXML browser (page 8)
•SIP Multimedia Conductor (SIPMC) (page 8)
•Multimedia Controller (page 8)
•IVR media processor (IVRMP) (page 9)
•Conference media processor (page 9)
•Multimedia Content Store (page 9)
•Stream source (page 9)
•Reporter (page 9)
Session controller
The Session Controller (SC) provides the application execution environment
and manages all platform resources. The Media Controller provides the
conduit for communication between components and is the core of the
platform.
VXML browser
The VXML Browser (VXMLI) provides the execution environment for VXML
based applications.
SIP Multimedia Conductor (SIPMC)
The SIP Multimedia Conductor (SIPMC) provides SIP signalling and session
management capabilities.
Multimedia Controller
The Multimedia Controller (also called the SoftIVR Controller, or SC) is the
core of the MAS platform. The SC provides the conduit for communication
between components, provides the environment for application execution,

and manages all platform resources. The SC is a client with respect to all other
components. The SC connects to all components identified as part of one
virtual system.
IVR media processor (IVRMP)
The IVR media processor IVRMP provides audio and video streaming, digit
collection, automatic speech recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Speech (TTS)
capabilities.
Conference media processor
The Conference media processor (ConfMP) provides audio and video
conferencing functions to the remainder of the platform.
Multimedia Content Store
The Multimedia Content Store (CStore) manages all content types and
ensures that you can access content reliably and consistently within a
platform cluster.
Stream source
The Stream source (streamsource) provides continuous pretranscoded real-
time audio to the IVRMP to facilitate a radio broadcast effect. Multiple IVRMP
channels use this feature to listen to the same real-time audio stream without
transcoding the stream on each channel or connecting each channel to a
remote server. Primarily, the SSRC is used for music-on-hold streaming or
connecting to Internet streaming radio servers.
Reporter
Reporter (reporter) generates scheduled reports (CSV, HTML) with optional
FTP/SMTP delivery. Reporter also replicates OM and call detail records.
MAS installation
The MAS platform and its associated applications are installed together on a
commercial off-the shelf (COTS) server. The server is shipped with a
hardened version of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 preinstalled. After you
power on the server, change the IP address, netmask, gateway, and host
name. A Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) (recommended) or 100 MB full-duplex
network connectivity is required. Quality of service (QoS) policies on the
switch connecting directly to the server must trust the server to allow
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) markings to flow through the
switch.

Uninstallation
Under normal circumstances, you need not uninstall the MAS platform unless
you want to perform a clean installation. Before you install the platform, you
must uninstall all applications and close all instances of the Nortel MAS
Console. If instances of the Nortel MAS Console are running when you
uninstall the MAS platform, you must restart the server.
Reinstallation
If you need to reinstall the MAS platform, you can use the MAS installation
DVD. The MAS installation DVD contains an automated installer. The MAS
platform is contained in a single installer; each application is bundled in a
separate installer. After you insert the DVD, locate and run the setup program.
MAS installation verification
After you install the MAS platform, you must verify that the IP address and
host name are correct.
Supported third-party software
Nortel supports McAfee VirusScan Enterprise Edition 8.5 only.
Options for MAS application deployment
The following sections provide an overview of the applications. available for
use on the MAS 6.0 platform, as well as the application deployment options
for the platform.
Meet Me Conferencing
The Meet Me Conferencing application provides reservation-less audio
conferencing on the MAS platform. You can use Meet Me Conferencing for
private conferencing at any time. Meet Me Conferencing is controlled by the
chairperson, who is assigned the role by an Application Administrator (AA).
For more information about Meet Me Conferencing, see Nortel Media
Application Server 6.0 for AS 5300 Meet Me Conferencing Fundamentals
(NN44470-103).
Ad Hoc Conferencing
Use Ad Hoc Conferencing to join together multiple simultaneous calls into a
single conference call. You can initiate a conference call from any client. To
initiate a conference, place a number of calls on hold and then select the Join
button in the Multimedia PC Client to transfer the calls to the conference
server and start the conference. The conference originator may leave the
conference without interrupting the call. The conference server terminates
the call when there is only one participant left. For more information about Ad
Hoc Conferencing, see Nortel Media Application Server 6.0 for AS 5300 Ad
Hoc Conferencing Fundamentals (NN44470-104).
