    Enable: (Recommended)

    By enabling Avaya Logins you are granting Avaya access to your system.
    This is necessary to maximize the performance and value of your Avaya support entitlements, allowing Avaya to resolve product issues in a timely manner.
    In addition to enabling the Avaya Logins, this product should be registered with Avaya and technically onboarded for remote connectivity and alarming. Please see the Avaya support site (support.avaya.com/registration) for additional information for registering products and establishing remote access and alarming.

    Disable:

    By disabling Avaya Logins you are preventing Avaya access to your system. 
    This is not recommended, as it impacts Avaya’s ability to provide support for the product. Unless the customer is well versed in managing the product themselves, Avaya Logins should not be disabled.
    • Select 1 to enable EASG.

    • Select 2 to disable EASG.

    Avaya recommends that you enable EASG.

    You can also enable EASG after deploying or upgrading the application using the command: EASGManage --enableEASG.

    The system starts the configuration of the network parameters. The deployment process takes about 10–15 minutes to be completed.
