Configuring Proxy settings (Optional)

Configuring Proxy settings (Optional)
If your network has a non-permissive firewall, you must configure Avaya Network Management
to work with your proxy server. This enables the Avaya Software Update Manager’s Analyze
and Retrieve capability from the Web functions.
The process to configure Avaya Network Management to work with your proxy server was
simplified beginning in Avaya Network Management Release 4.0. It is no longer necessary to
edit property files. Instead, the proxy parameters are conveniently located in the Options dialog
box available in the Software Update Manager menu. For more information, see the Avaya
Software Update Manager online help.
Configuring the Web Server (Optional)
The Avaya Integrated Management installs the Apache HTTP server and configures it for use
with the Avaya Integrated Management applications. For installations using a custom HTTP
server, insert the definitions script into the HTTP server’s configuration file.
To use Voice Integration services, do the following:
1. Open the file /etc/profile.
2. Add entries for AIM_FPM=<fpm_ip_address> and AIM_MSA=<msa_ip_address> where
fpm_ip_address is the IP address of the server running Avaya Fault and Performance
Manager and msa_ip_address is the server running Avaya MultiSite Administration.
3. After you add the AIM_FPM and AIM_MSA entries, add an entry export AIM_FPM
AIM_MSA to enable the server to use the values you configured.
Following is an example of a configuration script for an Apache web server running with Avaya
Network Management in the standalone mode on a Windows server:
