Introduction - Avaya S8710 Installing And Configuring

1

Introduction

These procedures are for installing Avaya Communication Manager and configuring a new Avaya S8700
or S8710 Media Server and associated components in either a Multi-Connect or an IP-Connect
configuration. The installation procedures for both models are basically the same; where they differ is
noted.
As part of the procedures for configuring the various pieces of hardware, you use two administration
interfaces: the Maintenance Web Interface and a command line interface using either telnet or a terminal
emulation program such as Avaya Native Configuration Manager. You also use the Avaya Installation
Wizard to configure the media servers.
There are no requirements to install the media servers before the media gateways; however, the license
file only allows 30 minutes to "see" the administered and connected IP Server Interface circuit packs.
