Laptop Settings - Avaya MCC1 Maintenance Procedures

Laptop settings

On any operating system, the network settings need to reflect the following:
• TCP/IP properties. Set the laptop's TCP/IP properties as follows:
— IP address: 192.11.13.5
— Subnet mask: 255.255.255.252
• Browser settings. Configure the browser for a direct connection to the Internet. Do not use
proxies.
• Server address. Access the S8300 media server using the URL http://192.11.13.6
The names of the dialog boxes and buttons vary on different operating systems and browser releases. Use
your computer's help system to locate the correct place to enter this information.
Use these links to go to the two procedures in this section:
• Set TCP/IP properties on Windows systems
• Disable/bypass proxy servers in browser
NOTE:
The S8300 Media Server uses the same access configuration as an Avaya S8100 Media
Server with a CMC1 or G600 Media Gateway. If you already have a NetSwitcher profile
for the S8100 Media Server, try using that profile first before configuring a new one.
Set TCP/IP properties on Windows systems
TCP/IP administration varies among Windows systems as described below.
NOTE:
Make a record of any IP addresses, DNS servers, or WINS entries that you change when
you configure your services computer. Unless you use the NetSwitcher program or an
equivalent, you will need to restore these entries to connect to other networks.

connection for you. More than one connection may appear.
