Whether you are installing the adapter software from the CD or downloading it from Passport Advantage and installing it from a local directory, refer to the appropriate guide below.

With this release, IBM is simplifying and streamlining its portfolio of collaborations. For existing customers, IBM WebSphere Business Integration Collaborations Version 4.5 offers continuity in the packaging of collaborations for the telecommunications industry. At the same time, IBM is consolidating existing collaborations into functional solutions so that customers will be better able to solve a particular business integration problem by selecting a group of industry-specific or cross-industry collaborations that address that problem. IBM WebSphere Business Integration Collaborations for Telecommunications Version 1.0 reflects this reorganization.
If you are installing the Adapter for Spirent Applications, the latest patch for the adapter must to be installed to use the InterChange Server.
If you are installing this solution using Electronic Software Distribution (ESD), you must perform the installation according to the instructions contained in the solution's Installation Guide.
Before following the installation procedure, make sure you have downloaded the software you want to install from Passport Advantage. Refer to Passport Advantage for those downloading instructions.
If you are installing this solution from the product CD, you must first select the appropriate industry solution components using the CD installation procedure, and then complete the solution installation by following the instructions in the solution Installation Guide.
Important: The root directory that is referred to in the solution Installation Guide is the same root directory that is used during the product CD installation procedure. The default root directory is \IBM\WebSphereICS.
