License Files For Different Configurations; S8300 Media Server; S8700 Media Server - Avaya MCC1 Maintenance Procedures

Figure 10: Install license
After you install the License File, the server will be in No License Mode until it recognizes the
reference G700 (the G700 in which the S8300 or LSP is physically inserted), which is after it
receives its IP address later in the process. This is normal on a new installation.
Installing the Authentication File removes all default passwords and establishes new ones. After
the installation, services logins specific to the media server are protected through Access Security
Gateway (ASG), which means a craft login will be challenged.
2 Click Install Avaya Authentication > Install to install the Authentication File.

License Files for different configurations

License files are assigned differently, depending on the Media Server and G700 Media Gateway
configuration.

S8300 Media Server

When the system configuration is a G700 with an S8300, the S8300 is a Linux-based processor running
Communication Manager. The serial number of the G700 in which the S8300 is inserted is used in the
License File for identification.

S8700 Media Server

When the Communication Manager is running on an External Media Server, such as an S8700, that
platform's hardware is used for License File authentication. In this configuration, a G700 does not require
a separate License File and is thought of as an extension of the server's platform. Licensing is handled by
the S8700 Media Server.
