• Avaya Site Administration (ASA): used for telephony administration. ASA must be run on a

available for every S8300 Media Server installation.
• Device Manager: also known as the P330 Embedded Web Manager, provides a browser-based
graphical user interface (GUI) to assist with ongoing media gateway and P330 stack device
administration. See the Avaya
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program: used for uploading or downloading data files,
announcements, license files, or software. Either a command-line interface version such as Trivial
FTP (TFTP) may be used through a telnet connection, or an FTP graphical user interface (GUI)
application may be used if available. Files must be transferred in binary mode. Refer to relevant
published documentation for details on using these programs.
• NetSwitcher program: Avaya Services technicians use this internally available program to
configure different network profiles so they can easily connect to a number of different systems.
See General settings for details.

• System Access Terminal (SAT) program: uses a Command Line Interface (CLI) interface to
administer telephony features. SAT is available through a telnet session or the ASA package.
• Telecommunications network (telnet) program: provides a command-line interface (CLI) for
running server platform commands and applications such as FTP or TFTP and SAT. Refer to
relevant published documentation for details on using a particular telnet program.
• Secure shell interface: A secure shell (SSH) remote interface utility can be used as an alternative to
telnet. SSH commands and passwords are encrypted, and both ends of the client/server connection
are authenticated through a digital certificate. The SSH suite includes a secure copy (SCP) program
that can be used as an alternative to FTP. The SSH and SCP utilities provide greater security than
FTP and telnet and should be used if available.
