Connect Laptop To Customer Lan; Connect The External Modem To The S8300 Media Server - Avaya G350 Maintenance Manual

Connect laptop to customer LAN

To connect to the customer's LAN, either on site or remotely over the Internet, your PC must be assigned
an IP address on the LAN. The IP address can be a static address on the customer's LAN that you enter in
the TCP/IP properties or it can be assigned dynamically with DHCP. Ask the customer how they want
you to make the connection.
Connect the external modem to the S8300
Media Server
Each S8300 Media Server requires a Universal Serial Bus (USB) modem for maintenance access and to
call out an alarm. The external modem may be connected to the S8300 Media Server through a universal
serial bus (USB) connection, providing dial-up access. Additional requirements include:
•
The modem requires its own external analog line.
•
The modem type is not optional and must be the specific modem that is shipped with the S8300.
•
The remote connection should support a data speed of at least 33.6 Kbps.
•
The remote PC must be administered for PPP connections in order to connect through a modem.
A dial-up connection is typically used only for services support of the server, not for routine
administration. If the Server is administered to report OSS alarms, it uses the same line for alarm
notification. The server cannot report any new alarms while this line is in use.
To connect the external modem to the S8300 Media Server:
1
Connect one end of the modem's USB cable to an available USB port on the S8300 Media
Server's faceplate. Either USB1 or USB2 can be used.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to the external modem.
3
Connect the modem to an external analog line.
NOTE:
The modem that is shipped with the S8300 obtains its power from the USB interface.
There is no power connection.
4
Verify operation as instructed by the modem's documentation.
5
To enable the modem, access the S8300 Media Server's Maintenance Web Pages (see
the S8300 Web Interface from your laptop
heading on the main menu.
The system displays the Modem window.
6
Click the radio button for one of the following:
— Enable modem for one incoming call — use this option if you want to provide one-time
access to the Media Server over the modem.
— Enable modem for unlimited incoming calls — use this option if you want to provide
regular dial-up access to the Media Server for Services personnel or some other reason.
The modem is now ready to receive calls.
