Chapter 1: Introduction
These procedures are for installing Avaya Communication Manager and configuring a new
Avaya S8700 series 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 reference IP
Server Interface (IPSI) circuit pack located in the media gateway.
