Day Of Migration; Basic Migration Steps - Avaya S8700 Series Manual

Migrating from an S8700 Media Server to an S8710 Media Server
Verify that you have all the login IDs and passwords to access the S8700 Media Servers
and server complex components. This includes the unique service password for the
customer's equipment.
To obtain the password for a specific media server, call ASG Conversant (1.800.248.1234
or 1.720.444.5557). You must have the IL, FL, or product ID to get the password.
To log in through the services port as craft after you install the Avaya authentication file, use
this password, which does not require an ASG challenge or response.
