Installing or converting to an S8500 LSP
Introduction
This module provides a procedure for one of the following tasks:
Installing a new Avaya S8500 Media Server
●
Converting the role an installed S8500 from a primary call controller to a local survivable
●
processor (LSP).
To complete these tasks, you need the following additional documents:
Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8500 Media Server, 555-245-701
●
Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8500 Media Server, 03-300143.
●

●
These documents are available at http://support.avaya.com.
For a new installation, you install the S8500 Media Server as an LSP, with an S8500 or
S8700-series Media Server as the primary controller.
For a conversion, you convert an S8500 Media Server from primary controller mode to LSP
mode. An example of this scenario is an existing S8500 Media Server that is migrating to an
S8700-series Media Server pair. You can subsequently convert the S8500 Media Server to an
LSP and use it in the migrated network.
