Before you begin setting up the network for LAN connections, do the following tasks:

• Verify that you are logged on as root.

  Important:

  You cannot directly log on as root from a remote connection. You must log on using an administered CMS user ID, then use su - root to log on with root privileges.

• Verify that the CMS software is turned off and the IDS software is on.

• Verify that all file systems are mounted.

• Verify that Avaya Aura® Communication Manager 6.0 or later is installed.
