Avaya S8100 Series Installing And Configuring

Introduction
16 Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8700 Series Media Server
Pre-installation information
Before you go on site
Before going on site, make sure the customer has power, a local area network set up and
running, and a network administrator available the day of the installation. Before beginning the
software installation and media server configuration, make sure you have the filled-out
Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet (EPW) on the services laptop. See the Avaya Installation
Wizard Web site (http://support.avaya.com/avayaiw
) for the blank form.
In addition, the pre-installation team should have done the following tasks. If they were not all
done, do not continue with the installation.
● Verify that the services laptop has the right hardware and software. See Connecting to the
media server directly on page 95 for the list of computer hardware and software
specifications.
● Verify that you have current translations available for download via ProVision.
● Verify that you have a filled-out Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet (EPW). The EPW
provides
- IP addresses
- Product ID
- Avaya services telephone number for remote access over modem
- Avaya services IP address for alarms through the network
● Verify that you have the current software update (patch), if required, and license and
Avaya authentication files on your services laptop.
● Verify that you have the current firmware available. Firmware for the IPSIs, C-LAN,
MedPro, and VAL circuit packs are on the software CD, but check the Avaya Support Web
site (http://support.avaya.com
), Download Software and Firmware, for the latest software
and firmware.
● Verify that you have all the login IDs and passwords to access the S8700 series media
servers and server complex components. This includes the unique service password for
that customer’s equipment.
To obtain the password for a specific media server, call ASG Conversant (1.800.248.1234
or 1.720.444.5557). You must have the IL, FL, or product ID to get the password.
To log in through the services port as craft after you install the Avaya authentication file,
use this password, which does not require an ASG challenge or response.
