Note:
Note: The Basic Network Readiness Assessment Service is available in the U.S. and
Canada through direct and indirect channels.
● Detailed network readiness assessment service is typically the second phase in the
Network Assessment for IP Telephony solutions. The Detailed network readiness
assessment service takes information gathered from the Basic Report, performs problem
diagnosis and provides functional requirements for the network to implement Avaya IP
Telephony.
A Detailed network readiness assessment service is required when the Basic Report
indicates that the customer’s network as it is configured cannot support the proposed IP
Telephony application at the desired performance levels. Sometimes customers already
know that their existing network is not configured to support Avaya IP Telephony, and they
can order a Detailed network readiness assessment service without first completing a Basic
Report. The assessment requires that the customer complete a Basic-like analysis as the
first phase). Customers may also request a Detailed network readiness assessment service
to optimize their network.
Basic network readiness assessment service
The Basic Network Readiness Assessment Service is a scheduled remote network evaluation
that is valuable for all customers that are expanding their communication capabilities.
The Basic service evaluates the customer’s current network environment by
● Maximizing the available resources.
● Identifying additional resources that are required to support the proposed IP Solution.
The outcome of the Basic service is a road map that identifies the gaps in the existing network
today, but it does not provide step-by-step configuration instructions on how to deploy the
solution. The Basic service is performed remotely and must be scheduled with the CSI team
2 weeks before implementing Avaya IP Telephony.
What if my network functions well today?
Even if your network appears to perform acceptably, IP Telephony taxes network resources and
performance because IP Telephony requires dedicated bandwidth and is more sensitive to
network problems than data applications. Table 63:

Avaya’s network analyses.
