Administering Call-Processing - Avaya Communication Manager Administrator's Manual

Administering Call-processing

(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) The telephony features of the S8300 Media Server
are administered using the same commands and procedures as an S8700 Series Media Server
or a legacy DEFINITY Enterprise Communications System.
Accessing Avaya Communication Manager
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) Avaya Communication Manager resides on the
S8300 or S8700 Series Media Server. It can be accessed through either Avaya Site
Administration (ASA) or the System Access Terminal (SAT) program.
Avaya Site Administration
Avaya Site Administration features a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides access to SAT
commands as well as wizard-like screens that provide simplified administration for frequently
used features. You can perform most of your day-to-day administration tasks from this interface
such as adding or removing users and telephony devices. You can also schedule tasks to run at
a non-peak usage time. ASA is available in several languages.
The S8300 or S8700 Series Media Server can be used to download Avaya Site Administration.
A downloadable version of this package may be accessed through the S8300 or S8700 Series
Media Server Web Interface. This software must be installed on a computer running a
compatible Microsoft Windows operating system such as Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, Millennium
Edition, and Windows 2000. Once installed, it can be launched from a desktop icon, from the
P330 Device Manager, or through a link in the S8300 Media Server Web Interface.
System Access Terminal
The System Access Terminal (SAT) program uses a Command Line Interface (CLI) interface for
telephony administration. SAT is available through the Avaya Site Administration package.
Security Considerations
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) Levels of security for administration of the G700
Media Gateway are the same as traditionally for Avaya Communication Manager. This means
that administration login passwords are passed in plain text with no encryption. Exceptions to
this no-encryption policy include:
The ASG program that is installed on all Avaya media servers.
●
An encrypted web interface to the S8300 Media Server (see the security certificate
●
