Configure the Media Servers

Once the hardware is installed you must configure the two media servers, install the license and
authentication files, and test the connectivity to the customer's LAN. You configure the first
media server, then configure the second media server.
Using a services laptop computer connected to the services laptop interface (default is port 2,
Ethernet 1), access the Media Server Web Interface program resident on each media server for
the configuration and some of the other administration. For other administration, access the
Media Server either through Avaya Site Administration or by opening a telnet session
establishing a Linux shell session.
