Installing or converting to an S8500 LSP
Introduction
This module provides a procedure for one of the following tasks:
● Installing a new Avaya S8500 Media Server
● Converting the role an installed S8500 from a primary call controller to a local survivable
processor (LSP).
To complete these tasks, you need the following additional documents:
● Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8500 Media Server, 555-245-701
● Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8500 Media Server, 03-300143.
● Administrator Guide for Avaya Communication Manager, 03-300509.
These documents are available at http://support.avaya.com
.
For a new installation, you install the S8500 Media Server as an LSP, with an S8500 or
S8700-series Media Server as the primary controller.
For a conversion, you convert an S8500 Media Server from primary controller mode to LSP
mode. An example of this scenario is an existing S8500 Media Server that is migrating to an
S8700-series Media Server pair. You can subsequently convert the S8500 Media Server to an
LSP and use it in the migrated network.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: If this is a conversion scenario, you cannot follow the standard upgrade
procedure for the S8500 Media Server. Existing translations and configurations
can interfere with proper operation after you designate the server as an LSP.
Note:
Note: The installation and conversion procedures in this module use the Maintenance
Web Interface. Some of the tasks can be automated by using the Avaya
Installation Wizard with the Electronic Pre-installation Worksheet (EPW).
