Thank you for purchasing the IP Communication Server and the AT-VP504E

============
INSTRUCTIONS
============

It is strongly recommended that you install the IP Communication Server
before setting up your AT-VP504E device.


=====================
RELEASE NOTES
=====================


=====================
PLATFORM REQUIREMENTS
=====================

The modules that make up the IP Communication Server have different
platform requirements:

- The Unit Manager, Gateway Manager, SIP Service System
  Manager and User Manager modules run as a service under
  Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, so they must be installed on a
  Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 computer. 

- The Administrator module can run on Windows NT 4.0 and
  on Windows 9x/2000 computers. You can run this module
  from a computer connected to the network that is not
  running the Database or the SIP Service module. You
  can also run this module on the same computer than the
  one running any of the two other modules.


=========================
INSTALLING THE IP Communication SERVER
=========================
  
The CD-ROM in your package includes a graphical Installation
program to help you quickly install your copy of the IP
Communication Server.

You must install the IP Communication Server using a login with
Administrator privileges in order to permit installation of
services.

If you have an old version of the IP Communication Server already
installed on your system, you must uninstall it before installing
the new version. This will ensure that the Database and SIP
services are of the same version. See UNINSTALLING THE IP 
COMMUNICATION SERVER for more details.

1. Insert your CD-ROM into the drive.

   If the autorun feature in Windows is enabled, the Installer
   will start automatically.

2. If the autorun feature is disabled, Select Run under the
   Start Menu on the Task Bar, and type:

   D:\SETUP

   where D: is the letter of your CD-ROM drive.

3. After reviewing the instructions in the Welcome dialogue
   box, keep the preset installation folder or click Browse
   and then specify the pathname of a different folder.

4. Specify which parts of the IP Communication Server you want
   to install.

   Options with a check mark will be installed. Click to the
   left of an item to turn a check mark on or off. 

   If you are currently installing the IP Communication Server
   on a Windows 9x computer, you will only have the option to
   install the Administrator.

5. Click Next to begin installation.

 ......

6. The installation is complete.

   You can check that the services are indeed started by
   accessing the Services window of the Control Panel.

   If one or both services are not started, you can access
   the Event Viewer to look at any error message the services
   might have logged. This will help you determine why the
   services have not started.


===========================
UNINSTALLING THE IP COMMUNICATION SERVER
===========================	

1. Backup any files if this is only a temporary uninstall.
   Make sure you have Administrator privileges.

2. In the directory where the installation program is located,
   select the setup.exe file and start it. The installation
   procedure starts.

3. In the Installation Wizard window, select the Remove option,
   then click Next.

   This will remove all installed components of the IP
   Communication Server.

4. Follow the instructions on screen.
