Ensure that CMS is turned off and that IDS is running.

    Note:

    If you are executing the cmssvc command for the first time, the system does not display the menu. Instead, the system automatically prompts for WebLM setup, EASG setup, encryption passphrase setup. For more information, see Configuring WebLM, EASG, and the encryption passphrases.

    The system displays the Call Management System Services Menu:

    Please try later, setup is active.

    Note:

    If system setup has already been done, the program responds:

  5. Verify that the installation completed successfully by entering: tail -f /cms/install/logdir/admin.log

    The -f option in the tail command updates the console as messages are written to the admin.log file. All failure messages are logged in this file. The CMS software is successfully set up when you see a message similar to the following:

    You can edit this file and add comments about the packages that were installed or authorized.
