Administering Media Servers
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) To access the media server, you must log in as
follows:
1. Open a compatible Internet browser on your computer. Currently only Internet Explorer 5.x
(Avaya recommends 5.5 with Service Pack 2) and Netscape 4.7x are supported.
2. In the Address (or Location) field of your browser, type the IP address or name of the
Avaya media server and press Enter.
LAN access by IP address. If you are logging into the administrative interface over the
●
corporate local area network, you can type the media server's unique IP address in
standard dotted-decimal notation, such as http://192.152.254.201.
LAN access by server name. If the server has already been configured and if the
●
corporate LAN includes a domain name service (DNS) server that has been
administered with the servers' names, you can type the server's name into the address
field instead of the IP address. Server names vary depending on local administration
(such as http://media-server1.mycompany.com).
Laptop access by IP address. If you are logging in to the services Ethernet interface from
●
a directly connected laptop, the IP address on the server is always 192.11.13.6. The
subnet mask is always 255.255.255.252. New servers that have not yet been configured
can only be accessed in this way. Server-name login is not available through the services
interface because this connection is a closed (private) network with no DNS.
Note:
The name and IP address of the S8300 Media Server are specified during initial
Note:
media server configuration.
3. If your browser does not have a valid security certificate, you will see a warning screen and
instructions to load the security certificate.

●
access the Login screen.
If you plan to use this computer and browser to access this or other Avaya media servers
●
again, click the main menu link to Install Avaya Root Certificate after you log in.
