Installation Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the Prime Network installation process:

  • Installation Options lists the installation options and provides links to available information for each option.
  • Installation DVDs lists the DVDs that contain the Prime Network software and the contents of each DVD.

Installation Options

The Prime Network installation includes the installation of the following components in a Linux environment:

  • Gateway (with an embedded or external database). The gateway installation is supported on physical servers or on VMware.
  • One or more units.
  • GUI clients.
  • Operations Reports component, an optional extension to Prime Network.
  • Prime Network Integration Layer (PN-IL), which can be installed to allow Prime Network to be used with Multi-Technology Operations Systems Interface (MTOSI) and 3GPP northbound interfaces. The PN-IL is mandatory if Prime Network is being installed in suite mode, that is integrated with Prime Central.

The following table shows where you will find the information you need for the various installation options.
