Maintenance Architecture
The maintenance subsystem is the part of a system’s software that is responsible
for initializing and maintaining the system. This subsystem continuously monitors
the system’s health and records detected errors. The maintenance subsystem
also provides a user interface for on-demand testing.
This chapter provides a brief description of the Avaya
TM
S8700 Media Server for
Multi-Connect Configurations (S8700 Multi-Connect) maintenance strategy and
presents background information about the system’s overall functions. For
detailed descriptions of components and subsystems, refer to related topics in
Chapter 8, ‘‘Maintenance-Object Repair Procedures’’. Sections on the following
maintenance objects (MOs) are particularly useful for gaining an understanding of
how the system works:
