S8300 Media Server faceplate
(For S8300 Media Servers)
Figure 206: S8300 Media Server faceplate
The faceplate of the S8300 Media Server has the following components:
The LED array on the left indicates when the S8300 is active and when it is safe to power
●
it down. The green LED indicates that Avaya Communication Manager is running.
A Shut Down button can be used to shut down the server (the S8300 can also be shut
●
down and restarted using software commands).
A Services Ethernet interface provides a direct connection to a laptop computer connected
●
with a crossover cable. Normally only Services technicians use this interface; most
ongoing S8300 administration is done using the Ethernet connection to the corporate LAN
on the media gateway.
One of the two USB connections may be used to attach an external modem, primarily used
●
to report alarms to a Services support agency.
The label on the right provides identification information for the S8300 Media Server.
