Getting Started S6200/S6500/S6800 Conferencing Server Overview The S6200/S6500/S6800 Conferencing Server consists of the S6200 media server by itself for small systems, or combined with an external hardware media server for larger systems. Table 1: S6200/S6500/S6800 Conferencing Server S6x00 Media Server Configurations...
Convedia Hardware Media Servers The hardware media server configuration works in conjunction with the S6200 software media server and supports any combination of G.711, G.726, G.729, and other codecs. This configuration offers the possibility of up to 2016 ports.
Getting Started S6500 Media Server The S6500 media server uses the S6200 as an application server and the CMS-1000 as a media server. Figure 2: S6500 Media Server Note: Refer Convedia’s CMS-1000 Media Server Installation and Operations Manual, Note: part number 95-0064-00-08, for additional information on the CMS-1000.
Manual, part number 95-0062-00-10, for additional information on the CMS-6000. Server Redundancy Server redundancy is not supported on the S6200 media server because the application server and the media processing function are both part of a single-point-of-failure device. Redundancy requires that these functions be separated.
KVM Switch A Keyboard/Video/Mouse switch (KVM) should be installed to allow one monitor and keyboard to connect to the S6200/S6500/S6800 Conferencing Server and up to three associated application or hardware media servers. Installation Steps Installation consists of the following steps: 1.
Verify that the equipment delivered matches the power specified in the Site Survey in the following particulars: AC power for the S6200. Also verify that the power is available at the rack or mounting ● point, and that redundant power is available if specified.
Verify that the connections are available and that the following information specified in the Site Survey is still correct. Note any changes to the information specified on the Site Survey and be sure to report any discrepancies to the Avaya Support Help Desk when reporting the system as “ready for configuration.”...
Unpacking Unpacking The S6x00 ships in several boxes. The first box should have a packing list showing what is included. Verify that all items were shipped and that all have been received.
