Chapter 1: Introduction; Audience - Avaya S8500 Installing And Configuring

Chapter 1: Introduction

These procedures are for installing Avaya Communication Manager and configuring a new
Avaya S8500 Media Server and associated components in an IP-connected port network
configuration.
To configure the media server, use the Avaya Installation Wizard. To configure gateways and
other hardware components, use two administration interfaces:
Maintenance Web Interface
●
Command line interface, directly through, secure shell (SSH), telnet, or a terminal
●
emulation program such as Avaya Native Configuration Manager.
You are not required to install the media server before the port networks (media gateways);
however, the license file allows only 30 minutes to "see" the administered and connected IP
Interface (IPSI) circuit packs.
The following information is included in this installation procedure:
