Administering Media Servers
Upgrading software and configuration
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) Occasionally you may need to install new software
on the media server. The new software (and a new license file if required) must be copied to the
media server using one of the methods listed in
software installation process uses wizard-like screens on the web to guide you through the
process.
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) You may also need to update your server
configuration from time to time, and reverify it after a software upgrade. IP addresses for the
server and its gateway to the corporate LAN, or for the optional UPS unit, DNS servers, and
modem, are specified using configuration wizard-like screens. The wizard-like screens also
allow you to specify static network routes for sending information over the network, and to
update or change the method by which the S8300 Media Server keeps time.
Copying files to the server
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) Files must be copied to the media server from
another computer or server in the network, or uploaded from a directly connected laptop
computer. Files that may be copied to the server include license and authentication files,
system announcements, and files for software upgrades. Files may be copied to the server
using one of the following methods:
Upload Files to Server (via browser) link to upload one or more files from your computer to
●
the server's FTP directory using HTTP protocol.
Download Files to Server (from web) link to copy files to the server from another server on
●
the network; it works like the Upload Files screen.
Transfer files from another computer or server accessible from the corporate network
●
using FTP or Trivial FTP (TFTP). Files must be transferred in binary mode. Either a GUI or
CLI FTP program can be used, depending on what is available on your computer.
Administering SNMP
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) You can set up Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) services on the server to provide a means for a corporate NMS to monitor the
server, and send alarm notifications to a services agency, to a corporate NMS, or both.
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) To activate SNMP alarm notification for the S8300
or S8700 Series devices, use the Configure Trap Destinations screen to set up SNMP
destinations in the corporate NMS. SNMP traps for other devices on the network can be
administered using Device Manager; see
