software CD-ROM.
Note:
Note: The administration interface is available in English only.
? Modular Messaging Web Client Tools program group. You can use these tools to verify
the installation and connectivity of the Web Client server and to maintain the server. You
can access these tools from the Start menu of the Web Client server by clicking Programs
> Avaya Modular Messaging Web Client Tools. Tools include the following:
? Connectivity Test. You can use this tool to verify connectivity between message
servers and the Web server, after you have added message servers. For more
information, see Configuring and verifying the message servers on page 25.
? Install Verify Test - Ivy. You can use this test to verify and diagnose the installation of
the Web Client server. For more information, see Running Install Verify Test (Ivy) on
page 22.
? Reset Web Server. If you reset the Web server, the server stops and then re-starts.
This might be required, for example, if you are having problems with IIS.
Note:
Note: You can also test for IIS problems and reset the Web server through the Web
Client Administration pages. For more information, see the online Help system
contained within the administration interface or Modular Messaging Web Client

Running Install Verify Test (Ivy)
About Ivy
Use the Install Verify Test (Ivy) to verify and diagnose the Modular Messaging Web Client
installation. Ivy uses system data to create a report in plain ASCII format. You can do the
following:
? Save and print the Ivy report.
Verifying the installation
Web Client for Modular Messaging Release 3 Server Installation and Upgrades April 2006 23
? Send the Ivy report as an e-mail attachment, for example to technical support
representatives.
? Change the filter for viewing data.
? Create different baselines for comparisons.
When you open Ivy from the Modular Messaging Web Client Tools program group, the tool
starts automatically. The tool checks each Modular Messaging Web Client file against the
database for the following:
? File name
? Location
? Size
? Date
? Version
? Windows registry entry
About the Ivy report
The status bar in the Install Verify window displays each file name as that file is being checked.
When the verification is complete, the window displays the Ivy report. The default is to create a
report that shows only errors and warnings. You can change the information that is shown by
clicking the stoplights on the toolbar. Red shows only errors, yellow is the default that shows
both errors and warnings, and green shows all files. Errors appear against a red background,
and warnings appear against a yellow background.
The Ivy report is made up of a row of tabs. If you enable the default that shows both errors and
warnings and the fields of a selected tab are empty, no errors or warnings are present.
The tool displays the information contained in the Ivy database on the first line for each file and
the information found on the Web server on the second line. The tool displays only information
that differs from one database to another. A blank column on the second line indicates that the
information matches.
When you review a report, you might notice some warnings for differences that you do not need
to address. For example, a newer version of a system file present on the server is usually not
replaced with an older version, but the Ivy report displays the difference. You can exclude these
differences from future Ivy reports when you set the baseline. You should address all errors that
the system displays in a report.
You can create a baseline of the Ivy report either from the Tools menu or from the magnifying
glass icon on the toolbar. A baseline file contains information about the Ivy database and
system differences at the time the baseline was created.
Chapter 3: Installation

Establishing a baseline report
To establish a baseline report:
1. On the Web Client server, click Start > Programs > Avaya Modular Messaging > Web
Client Tools > Install Verify Test - Ivy.
The system checks the program files. The process might take a few minutes.
2. Click each tab in the Ivy window, and verify that no errors exist. Errors appear in red.
3. On the Tools menu, click Make Baseline.
4. Specify saving the file to the default folder, and click Save.
5. In the Select Output dialog box, select All Entries, and click OK.
6. When you are ready to close Ivy, click File > Exit.
The baseline file is not used automatically when Ivy creates future reports. To view the
differences between an Ivy report and the baseline, on the Tools menu, click Compare to
Baseline. The system displays a new report that shows only the errors and warnings that are
not in the baseline file.
Verifying port settings
The Web Client installation process creates the virtual Web directory webmsg under the Default
Web Site of Internet Information Services (IIS). The Default Web Site uses port 80 as the default
Transmission Control Port (TCP) port. If you are using the default port and port 80 is closed on
the Web server, you must open port 80 on the Web server. To open port 80 on the Web server:
1. Click Start > Run, and type secpol.msc.
The system launches the Local Security Policy snap-in.
2. In the left pane, under Security Settings, click IP Security Policies on Local Computer.
3. Right-click Block TCP 80 Filter, and click unassign.
The Policy Assign column displays no.
Completing initial administration
After you successfully install the Web Client server and verify the installation, you can complete
basic administration tasks from the Web Client administration interface.
Note:
Note: Before you administer the Modular Messaging Web Client server, the server must
be installed on the network at the customer site.
Completing initial administration

the message servers that will communicate with the Web Client server. To configure message
servers, follow the instructions in "Message Servers page" in the administration online Help
system or in Modular Messaging Web Client Administration and Maintenance on the Modular
Messaging Web Client software CD-ROM.
You can use the Connectivity Test to verify the connectivity between the Web Client server and
the message servers that you administered for the Web Client. The Connectivity Test verifies
the name and IP address of the Web Client server and where the Web Client resides. The test
also checks the following criteria:
? The Web Client server is configured for network access.
? Internet Information Services (IIS) is running on the Web server.
? A connection to the message servers exists.
To run the Connectivity Test:
1. On the Web Client server, click Start >Programs > Avaya Modular Messaging Web
Client Tools > Connectivity Test.
2. To test all the message servers that you configured for the Web Client, click Test All.
The tool automatically tests connectivity to each server.
