Connecting to the media server remotely over the network
You can access the media server from any computer that is connected through the LAN.
However, the LAN security settings must allow remote access.
To access the media server, open a Web browser or a terminal emulation application. In the
address field, type the IP address or the DNS host name that is assigned to the media server
you want to access.
For duplicated media servers, you can use the active (alias) media server address to connect
automatically to the media server that is active.
Connecting to the media server remotely over a modem
This section describes the following tasks:
Setting up a dial-up connection
●
Dialing up to the media server
●
Finding the IP address of the active media server (duplicated servers)
●
Accessing the Maintenance Web Interface
●
Using the command line interface
●
Note:
Remote access over a modem is for Avaya services support access only and not
Note:
for routine administration. Because the media server uses the same line to report
alarms, the media server cannot report new alarms while the line is in use.
You can access the media server through an analog modem. The remote connection requires a
data speed of at least 33.5 kilobits per second.
On the S8500 Media Server, you access the media server through the remote maintenance
board that is installed in the media server. For more information about how to access the SAMP,
see the Avaya Server Availability Management Processor User Guide (03-300322).
