Pexip Infinity installation overview
This section contains a link to a demonstration video and lists the individual tasks that you must complete in order to deploy the Pexip Infinity platform.
Installing Pexip Infinity
Deploying Pexip Infinity onto a VMware ESXi host (36 mins)
Task summary
Each step provides a link to the section of this guide that provides full information about how to complete that task.
| Task | Notes |
|---|---|
| Download the appropriate Pexip Infinity software files | The files you need will depend on the hypervisor you are using and whether your Conferencing Nodes will be deployed manually or automatically. |
| This guide assumes that you have a suitable VMware, Hyper‑V, KVM or Xen environment already up and running. These sections outline the specific configuration of each application that is required to support a Pexip Infinity deployment. | |
| Deploy the Management Node | During this step you install and configure an instance of a Pexip Infinity Management Node using the tools available for your hypervisor. |
| This will ensure that your system will function correctly within your network. | |
| Add VM managers | This will provide you with a quick way of selecting VM managers, used if you intend to deploy new Conferencing Nodes automatically onto vSphere ESXi hosts. |
| Add locations | Locations allow you to group your Conferencing Nodes together according to their physical location to allow more efficient routing of media streams. |
| Add licenses | You must install a system license and sufficient concurrent port licenses before you can place calls to Pexip Infinity Virtual Meeting Rooms. |
| Add Conferencing Nodes | During this step you use the Pexip Infinity Administrator interface, which resides on the Management Node, to create Conferencing Nodes on host servers. |
| During these steps you set up details of the Virtual Meeting Rooms and Virtual Auditoriums on the Pexip Infinity platform, including the aliases that will be dialed to access them. | |
| Configure a Virtual Reception | This is an optional step where you set up details of a Virtual Reception. This is used to provide access to Virtual Meeting Rooms and Virtual Auditoriums for participants who are unable to dial their aliases directly, and/or to provide local telephone numbers that audio-only participants can dial to access conferences. |
| Configure Pexip Distributed Gateway service | This is an optional step where you set up the Gateway Routing Rules that determine which calls get interworked between protocols. |
