Samp Connections; Samp Software - Avaya S8500 Installing And Configuring

Introduction

SAMP connections

The SAMP card is installed in PCI-X slot 1 (full-height, 3/4 length slot) of the Avaya S8500
Media Server.
The SAMP comes in a half-card PCI form factor and is powered externally. It supports one USB
interface and two 10/100 Ethernet ports that are located on the rear of the media server.
SAMP Ethernet 1 is not used.
●
SAMP Ethernet 2 is for local Services laptop access. This is for on-site services personnel
●
to access the SAMP using the craft login.
The USB interface is used to connect a USB modem that is used for remote dial-in and
●
dial-out access. This modem connection is shared between the media server and the
SAMP for remote maintenance, administration, and alarming purposes. For dial-in
purposes, the user first establishes a ppp session that terminates at the SAMP. The user
then can establish an SSH (Secure Shell) or HTTPS (Secure Web) session to the SAMP
or the host using the craft login.
The SAMP also communicates with the host in-band via an on-board industry standard Ethernet
controller on the host's PCI bus with an internal link to the SAMP.

SAMP software

The SAMP is shipped from the factory with software installed and with some default settings.
However, you may need to install an updated version of the software and you must configure
the SAMP before it can be used.
If a SAMP software update file is available on the Avaya Support website, you should have
downloaded it to your laptop. See The Avaya Server Availability Management Processor User
Guide, 03-300322, for details on installing software on the SAMP and changing default settings.
