Manually Installing GVP on Windows

These instructions install each GVP component separately, one per tab.

Procedures

This section describes how to install GVP on a Windows OS in a new deployment, or add GVP components to an existing deployment. The prerequisites for each component include preparing the hosts for GVP and completing the preinstallation activities.

  • Before you begin to install the components, copy the GVP installation packages to a directory on the Windows hosts or to a network drive from which they can be downloaded.
  • To deploy multiple instances of the Media Control Platforms on a single host, follow the instructions in Deploying Multiple MCP Instances.

Procedure: Installing the Squid Caching Proxy (Windows)

This procedure installs and starts the Squid caching proxy on the Media Control Platform and Call Control Platform hosts.

Installation is optional; do it only if you have specific needs such as a persistent cache or non-standard security.

  1. Verify that the requirements for Windows software are met. See Table: Software Requirements—Windows.
  2. On the Windows host, execute the setup.exe setup file:
    If you are using the GVP software DVD, browse to the <GVPDVD>\gvp\windows\Squid\ folder,
    where <GVPDVD> is the DVD drive letter.
    If the DVD image is on a network drive, copy the <DVDImage>\gvp\windows\Squid\ folder to the local computer.
  3. When the Genesys Deployment Wizard appears, click Next.
    Tip
    To avoid having to make manual configuration changes after installation, install the Squid caching proxy in the default directory, C:\Squid.
  4. After the Deployment Wizard is complete, click Finish.

Procedure: Installing the PSTN Connector (Windows)

Tip
Install and use the PSTN Connector (PSTNC) only after careful consideration, because the Dialogic boards that it requires are no longer sold.


Although Dialogic supports this hardware until 2018, support may have limitations and there is no assurance that future versions of GVP will preserve backward support for PSTNC.

The latest PSTNC release is 8.1.4, and it requires MCP 8.1.4 to be compatible with GVP 8.1.5 and above. Install MCP 8.1.4 into a GVP logical resource group, and it will be able to talk to PSTNC 8.1.4.

Installation of the PSTN Connector is required to integrate TDM networks with GVP and facilitate migration to GVP 8.x. TDM integration is supported through Dialogic telephony technology only. </toggledisplay>
